[Evaluation of nursing consultation structure for children in primary health care].

The objective of this study was to evaluate the structure of primary care units of the family health program of the São Paulo municipal district to support child nursing consultation. Components of a structural and systematic evaluative process for health care services served as the conceptual framework for the study. A specific questionnaire, with established and documented content validity, was used to collect the data through direct systematic observation of the structure of primary care units in supporting 114 nursing consultations conducted by 14 registered nurses. Evaluation results of the primary care units' physical structure, medical equipment, materials, supplies, and the qualifications of the registered nurses working in those primary care units were all satisfactory in meeting the majority of recommendations, policies, and regulatory measures.
