Resumo: The study aimed to describe and analyze possible differences in the activities of health education performed by community health workers during a home visit. Data of two transversal studies were analyzed in the context of Family Health Units in the municipalities of Campina Grande (2010) and Queimadas (2011), in the state of Paraíba, Brazil. In Campina Grande, women whose children were younger than one year old were eligible, selected by systematic lottery, from 30% of the health units (n=508). In Queimadas, all women whose children were born within the year of 2009, those who resided in the municipality and those who were treated in any of the 16 health units (n=204) were eligible. The mothers were questioned about the educational activities developed by the agents during the home visits. A larger proportion of women indicated not to receive home visits in the municipality of Campina Grande, and deficiencies were found related to orientation on how to care for children's health in the two municipalities, and there was a higher frequency of educational activities in the agents from Queimadas. The differences related to the work of community health workers may involve elements such as professional devaluation and precarious work conditions. It must be emphasized the importance of the training and preparation of nurses for the supervision of the health workers.

Fueron analizados los datos de dos estudios transversales en el contexto de las Unidades Básicas de Salud de la Familia de los municipios de Campina Grande (2010) y Queimadas (2011), en el estado de Paraíba, Brasil. En Campina Grande, fueron elegibles mujeres con niños menos de un año, seleccionadas por sorteo sistemático, de 30% de las unidades de salud (n=508). En Queimadas, fueron elegibles todas las mujeres con niños nascidos durante el año de 2009, residentes en el municipio y atendidas en todas las 16 unidades de salud (n=204). Las mamas fueron cuestionadas sobre las actividades educativas desarrolladas por los agentes durante las visitas domiciliares. Una mayor proporción de mujeres indicó no recibir visitas domiciliares en el municipio de Campina Grande, fueron encontradas deficiencias relacionadas a orientaciones sobre el cuidado con la salud del niño en los dos municipios y mayor frecuencia de actividades educativas entre los agentes de Queimadas. Las diferencias relativas al trabajo de los agentes comunitarios de salud pueden envolver factores como desvalorización profesional y precarias condiciones de trabajo. Destaca-se la importancia de la capacitación y preparación de los enfermeros para la supervisión del trabajo de los agentes.O estudo objetivou descrever e analisar possíveis diferenças nas atividades de educação em saúde realizadas por agentes comunitários de saúde durante a visita domiciliar.
