In the Unified Health System, Primary Care predominantly operates in the logic of the Family Health Strategy, characterized by its scope and proximity to the territories, as well as the dynamics of population organization. The health teams are formed by several professional categories and some have the support of the extended Family Health Center (NASF). Considering the advances and challenges regarding the strengthening of Primary Care, the Program for Improving Access and Quality of Care (PMAQ) was created in order to assess the quality of health services, based on the performance of Primary Care professionals in the achievement of pre-established goals, aiming at the reorganization of the health network. The present dissertation aimed to analyze the understanding of the health team professionals about the application of the financial incentive of the PMAQ and its influence on the qualification of Primary Care in the municipalities of Paraíba, considering that most of the actions are developed by them.

The sample consists of 812 professionals who were interviewed simultaneously with the external evaluation in 2018. For the study, 5 structuring axes were considered for qualified Primary Care, improved access, improved efficiency, improved health results, better user satisfaction and better satisfaction of professionals.

The statistical approach involved descriptive data analysis and logistic regression modeling to assess how the use of PMAQ-AB resources influenced the perception of the quality of primary care in the municipalities of Paraíba. The results show that, although the PMAQ was a program that sought the qualification of Primary Care, linking a broad view in the evaluation aspects, most of the professionals participating in the study, pointed out that to obtain an improvement in the quality of Primary Care, it would be relevant to take into consideration essentially issues related to wages.
