Abstract
The purpose of this descriptive quantitative study was to analyze institutional support among the teams that joined the Program for the Improvement of Access to and Quality of Primary Care. Data were collected from February to October 2014 from the program’s external evaluation database. The sample comprised 2941 respondents from module II, and the 22 managers who replied to module IV (on line). The variables were analyzed through descriptive statistics, using the IBM SPSS software, and the results were organized and grouped into three dimensions: Characteristics of the institutional support; the work of the institutional supporter, and management support in work process management and planning. It was noted that there is support in basic care; however, a normalizing and bureaucratic trait was identified in the actions supported. The institutional supporter was evaluated positively, although being overwhelmed by the excessive number of teams under their responsibility, evidencing the need for sizing that takes into account the way the support function operates. Due to the collection instrument’s characteristics, it was not possible to identify the interviewees’ concept of support, this being a limitation of the study.
