The family constitutes an important social group, in which the health-disease process occurs
and is most often solved, in this way the family acts as a unit of primary care in the health and
care of its members. It should be relevant to the study on the health of the Amazon family
especially the riverside, as can be observed that the familiar system of these populations
present complexities unique evolutionary and contextual features, developed over the years in
their interaction with the environment and regional characteristics of the Amazon, besides the
professional nurses not being able to carry out evaluations of families, in the perspective that
the health models today propose equity, universality, resolubility with co-responsibilities.
This dissertation aimed to describe how the families living on the Island of Combu face the
problems of life and health in the family everyday. This is a descriptive and explanatory
research of a qualitative nature. Where families were evaluated according to the Calgary
Model of Family Evaluation (FHH), using observation, the Figueiredo interview form (2012)
based on Wright, Leahey (2012) and adapted, field diary, the Genogram and the Ecomapa. As
a context of the study we have the Combu Island, and as a target population 10 families
attended in the Family Health Strategy that have an area of easy access for the research team.
This research complied with Resolution Nº. 466 of 12 of December, 2012 of the National
Health Council (CNS). As results the predominant type of family is the single parent led by
the woman, the occupation of the mothers was of the home, the occupation of the parents was
extractive and the occupation of the student children. The type of contact with the family
occurs through personal, and they use the extended family mainly for social company. It has
as form of sustenance as being the work of own account, those who have children in school
stage reports that all attend the school. They use the ESF mainly for disease prevention and
hospital services only when referenced. They have a very present religiosity. The way of
access is by means of boats, and the houses do not have refrigeration or heating, the discharge
of garbage is given by means of the burning. Regarding family planning, most did not plan
their children despite knowing about contraceptive methods, social rights in pregnancy, and
social rights of motherhood and fatherhood. We have the most active member as being the
figure of the mother, the relatives have shown to have a very strong relationship with each
other, and the approximation in relation to the resolutions of problems and affective occurs
mainly in the contact mother and first-born. In conclusion, it was possible to observe that the
nursing professional only has to carry out actions of health education with the purpose of
guiding the families and reducing the impacts of the absence of the public power in relation to
the issues of basic sanitation and water supply.
