ABSTRACT Objective : to assess male workers’ health-related knowledge, practices and beliefs. Methods: In this quanti-qualitative, descriptive study at a nursing school in Rio de Janeiro, 30 male students, teachers and administrative staff gave semi-structured interviews in October 2013. Results: transcript analysis led to the construction of two categories: comprehensive men’s health care policy presented as a prime tool for health promotion and disease prevention; and spread of this policy, alerting to risks and diseases. It was shown that men still assume the role of provider, and choose not to miss work through a query and are unaware of the comprehensive men’s health care policy. Conclusion: it is essential to review motivational strategies to sensitize men to self-care-related gender issues.

Autocuidado e adoecimento dos homens: uma revisão integrativa nacional

Abstract: A Politica Nacional de Atencao Integral a Saude do Homem (PNAISH) visa promover a prevencao de saude do homem. Contudo estudos recentes apontam para a necessidade de maior dialogo relacionado aos sentimentos dos homens frente ao adoecimento e a cultura social e laboral. Dessa forma, essa revisao integrativa objetiva verificar os fatores culturais, emocionais e laborais relacionados ao processo de adoecimento e autocuidado dos homens. As buscas por artigos empiricos foram conduzidas nas bases de dados, Biblioteca Virtual em Saude (BVS), SciELO e PePSIC. Ao termino das etapas de selecao, nove estudos foram incluidos para analise nos resultados desta revisao. Os principais resultados sugerem que os homens sentem medo e vergonha de suas vulnerabilidades e do adoecimento. Tambem percebem uma imposicao de papeis patriarcais pela sociedade, considerando o autocuidado como um atributo feminino. Observou-se ainda tendencia a priorizacao do trabalho mesmo que isso implique o deterioramento da saude.
