Abstract

The paper titled "Access to Basic Health Care for Academics of the University Campus of Araguaia” is a descriptive epidemiological research with a quantitative and cross-sectional approach. To obtain the data, 384 questionnaires, each with ten (10) simple and easy-to-solve questions were applied to the students regularly enrolled in the institution, with the objective of evaluating the access and attendance at the Basic Health Units (BHU) in the municipality of Barra do Garças / MT. The questionnaire also evaluated the index of academics who had health plans, what they did when they became ill, and how they evaluated the care provided at the BHU. After the statistical analysis, which was equally divided into 50% men and 50% women, 69.8% of men and 74% of women did not have health insurance plans and when asked about the frequency in the BHU, 60.4% of males and 63.5% of females reported that they used BHU only when they were ill. 25.5% of the men and 22.4% of the women said that they did the initial search in a pharmacy instead of a BHU when they felt sick. Regarding the evaluation of the services rendered, 44.9% of the women and 37.1% of the men affirmed that they were few satisfied.
