Being the transmitter of those characteristics, aspects like commuting time or even information about the treatment given are rated of less importance to the user. The ability of resolution is expressed by the decision of the family to return to the service given, in case they have the necessity (0,900171), by their satisfaction with the services provided (0,872823) and the amount of care disposed (0,803617), by the evaluation of the team which was offering the services (0,827258) and that the services helped them to overcome the problems (0,758437); and yet by the comprehension of the team by the person who received the service (0,688417). Furthermore, it became evident that there is an association (R= 0,83), highly significant (p=0,00000), between the degree of satisfaction of the families and four aspects of the ability of resolution of the actions and service, being the one named “satisfaction with the amount of care available” with the highest influence in the satisfaction of the families (beta= 0,314682).
