title: [Use of a tool for record of child and family health information and nurse's practice in basic health care].
abstract: Children's growth and development process is influenced by different factors and the family is considered as its primary context. This descriptive study aims at describing the elaboration and use of a tool in basic health care, aimed at observing, interviewing and registering data of children and families in nursing practice. Study participants were 10 families with children between 0 and 24 months of age. Data were collected by consulting patient records, interviews and observation. Based on a previous bibliographic review, an instrument was constructed and applied, which revealed possibilities for the systematization of nursing care, information organization and better health interventions.
