[Analysis of community agendas in primary care and factors associated with their implementation]

Objective: To describe the community agendas created by the Aragonese Primary Care Teams (PCT), to analyze the characteristics of said PCT, and to explore factors related to their implementation.

Method: Descriptive observational study of the community agendas and the Aragonese PCT that have created them since the implementation of the Aragonese Community Care Strategy (ACCS) in 2016 until March 2021. Bivariate and multivariate analysis of the characteristics of these PCT that have created the agenda with respect to those who have not developed it.

Results: 75 of the 123 Aragonese PCT (61%) have created the community agenda. 74.7% of them also have an active Health Council. 45 of the 75 agendas are of the advanced type, with 41 PCT that had carried out the zone health diagnosis and 28 PCT that made asset recommendations. It was observed how the creation of the community agenda is related to being a PCT belonging to a semi-urban basic health zone (odds ratio [OR]: 3.02; 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 1.22-7.47; p=0.017) and that at least one professional would have received specific training (OR: 5.29; 95% CI: 1.09-25.72; p=0.039).

Conclusions: The community agenda is a tool that supports the development of community care for PCT. The training provided by the ACCS has been shown to be key to the development of the agendas, and this work must continue, with special emphasis on the PCT belonging to rural or urban basic health zones, since they are the ones that are experiencing the greatest difficulties.
