Objective: To understand the perceptions of caregivers regarding child care for the prevention of hospitalizations due to Primary Care-Sensitive Conditions, such as the diagnosis of gastroenteritis, pneumonia and/or asthma, in Teresina. Methods: This is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach, conducted through a semi-structured interview with ten caregivers of children under the age of five years. The analysis of the collected data was based on Bardin's content analysis. Results: It was observed that the culture of immediate care is still very present, which makes the hospital-centric model clear. In addition, impairment in care related to factors such as caregiver co-responsibility, the need to understand the role of Primary Health Care, investments in public policies for basic sanitation in the city and socioeconomic conditions were identified. Conclusion: Financial aspects, both on the part of the user and the health service itself, cultural aspects, poor basic sanitation and lack of knowledge about the role of PHC, make it difficult to prevent PCSC. Therefore, PHC care needs to be reviewed in several aspects, considering financing, qualified human resources and promotion of health education actions.
