Objectives:
to assess the operationalization of Primary Health Care in the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Primary Care Assessment Tool: PCATool-Brasil attributes, from physicians’ and nurses’ perspective.
Methods:
a cross-sectional study, carried out with 99 physicians and nurses from Basic Health Units in a state in northeastern Brazil, with the aid of the adapted instrument PCATool-Brasil.
Results:
Essential Score was classified as high performance (6.6) and General Score as low performance (6.5). First Contact Access, Care Integration, and Community Guidance scores were <6.6. The best performances were attributed to the Longitudinality, Comprehensiveness and Family Guidance services (scores>6.6).
Conclusions:
the attributes of Primary Health Care, in general, showed values above or close to the cut-off point in the assessment. These data can support strategies for local and national managers to strengthen Primary Health Care in the COVID-19 pandemic and future public health emergencies.

Objective:
to describe the stages of construction and content validation of an instrument to assess Primary Health Care Planning workshops.
Methods:
this methodological study focused on validating the instrument’s content. The instrument developed was assessed by a committee of experts using the Delphi Technique, in two rounds. For the degree of agreement, percentage agreement and Content Validity Index (CVI) were used.
Results:
in the first round, six experts participated, and the degree of agreement was 87% for clarity and 94% for representativeness. In the second round, five experts participated, the CVI was 0.95 for clarity, 0.97 for representativeness and 0.96 total CVI. The final instrument had 42 items divided into three chunks.
Conclusion:
the instrument has content validity to assess Primary Health Care Planning workshops, being a tool for the use of state and municipal administrations.
