Introduction: Pain is the main reason for consultation in Primary Health Care. Chronic pain is one of the biggest challenges that the doctor finds in the outpatient clinic. Objective: To relate the self-perception of the intensity level in the presence of chronic pain with the self-assessment of their own general health in patients who went to the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Service of the Central Hospital of the Institute of Social Welfare in 2018. Methodology: The design of the study was transversal. A questionnaire with closed questions was given to the study participants, where data such as age, sex, origin and basic pathology were collected. Besides this, the Walco & Howite Scale and the Verbal Scale of Self-perception of health was included. Results: 62 patients participated, with a median age of 65 years, 85.48% were women, and 80.65% came from urban areas. 87.10% were carriers of arthropathies and 67.74% were hypertensive. 56.45% of patients presented intermittent pain, located more frequently in lower limbs and upper limbs, of severe intensity in 35.48% of cases. Regarding the self-assessment of health, 46.77% considered it regular and 41.93% considered it good. There is a statistically significant relationship between the intensity of chronic pain self-perception and the self-assessment of general health (p = 0.007). Conclusion: The majority of patients who perceived mild and moderate pain considered to be in good health, while the majority of patients who perceived severe and maximum pain imaginable reported being in a regular state of health.

Within the CONACYT Project "Building socio-environmental and public health standards with the primary sector to increase competitiveness in the markets PIN15-1103.CONACYT/ALTER VIDA” a Community Monitoring Questionnaire was applied for the exhibition and possible impacts on health for the use of pesticides, the objective of this article is to validate the community monitoring questionnaire and present the data of the field work. The design of the study was observational and descriptive, taking two communities dedicated to agricultural production, one in Caaguazú and the other in San Pedro. The sampling was not probabilistic by snowball comprising those exposed to pesticides in both selected districts, with a maximum distance of 1 kilometre to crops or plantations. The variables analyzed include filiation's data, use and exposure of agrochemicals, use of personal protection equipment, and management of pesticide residues, training, and health. Cronbach's alpha was also applied to study the reliability of the instrument. All analyzes were done with SPSS 25. In conclusion, it has been detected that the management in the use of agrochemicals in the analyzed population must be reinforced in several areas, from training, management in use, final disposal, among others. The instrument has good internal consistency.
