Abstract
Objective: To determine the effect on family functionality of a Primary Health Care program for grandparents and grandchildren in Guapi-Cauca.
Materials and methods: Quasi-experimental study without control group. Fifty Afro-Colombian families participated. The program was built with the community, with culturally adapted care actions in healthy environments. Information was collected with the Family Functioning Effectiveness Scale (ASF-E 20), processed and analyzed with descriptive methods and Wilcoxon signed rank test.
Results: The PHC program obtained a statistically significant effect on family functioning from grandchildren (p-value < 0.001) and grandparents (p-value 0.004).
Conclusions: The PHC program with strategy of healthy environments and culturally congruent care, has an effect on the effectiveness of family functionality in grandparents and grandchildren of Afro-Colombian families in the Municipality of Guapi Cauca. It favored family functionality, health promotion actions through strategic alliances and opportunities in the individual and collective development of children and grandparents.
