▼ Introdução: No Brasil, verifica-se maior mortalidade masculina em, praticamente, todas as idades e para quase a totalidade das causas. Objetivo: Estimar e descrever a tendência da mortalidade masculina, entre 1979 e 2007, em três capitais de estados brasileiros, São Paulo (SP), Rio de Janeiro (RJ) e Porto Alegre (RS), segundo faixa etária, local de residência e causa básica de morte. Material e método: As populações de estudo referem-se aos contingentes de residentes em São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro e Porto Alegre, nos triênios, 1979/1981, 1990/1992, 1999/2001 e 2005/2007 e aos respectivos óbitos. As fontes de dados foram IBGE e Sistemas de Informações em Saúde do Ministério da Saúde. As localidades foram selecionadas por, reconhecidamente, apresentarem adequada qualidade das informações necessárias. Calcularam-se coeficientes de mortalidade gerais (brutos e padronizados) e específicos, médios para os triênios. Foram feitas comparações entre os indicadores, no tempo e no espaço. Resultados: Verificou-se, no período e nas três capitais, declínio da proporção de crianças e de jovens e tendência crescente da proporção de pessoas de 60 anos e mais de idade. Até os 24 anos, homens predominaram na população; a partir daí, já se observaram maiores participações femininas e razões de sexos cada vez mais baixas, evidenciando, entre idosos, alta presença de mulheres, fato associado à elevada mortalidade masculina (coeficientes padronizados, respectivamente, no início e fim da série temporal, de 11,9 e 9,4 óbitos por mil homens, em São Paulo; de 12,7 e 9,8 óbitos por mil homens, no Rio de Janeiro e de 12,1 e 9,5 mortes por mil homens, em Porto Alegre). Notou-se acometimento intenso de homens jovens pelas causas externas, cujos coeficientes específicos, para homens de 20 a 24 anos, foram, em 1979/1981 e 2005/2007, respectivamente, de 163,8 e 165,8 por cem mil homens paulistas; de 241 e 336,2 por cem mil, no Rio de Janeiro, e de 144,1 e 236,1 por cem mil, em Porto Alegre. Ao longo da série, as causas externas apresentaram grande estimativa de risco de morte masculina, sendo que, em 2005/2007, foram a primeira causa de morte em homens até a idade de 40 a 44 anos, em São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro; em Porto Alegre, manteve a primeira posição até a faixa de 30 a 34 anos. Após, em quase todos os grupos etários seguintes, as doenças do aparelho circulatório aparecem como a principal causa de morte e, as neoplasias passam à segunda posição entre as mais importantes causas de morte masculina. Considerações finais: As localidades evidenciam características de cidades em vias de desenvolvimento, com redução da fecundidade, aumento da longevidade e conseqüente envelhecimento populacional. As estimativas do elevado risco de morrer de homens tornam clara sua vulnerabilidade em adultos jovens, acometimento intenso das mortes violentas; a partir dos 35 anos, as doenças crônicas e degenerativas se destacam. A intensidade com que estes eventos ocorrem, entre homens, demanda ações que possibilitem redução dos índices de mortalidade por causas… Advisors/Committee Members: Gotlieb, Sabina Lea Davidson.

A relação masculinidades-saúde tem sido investigada por vários estudos nos últimos anos. A aproximação dos homens às práticas de cuidado e aos serviços de saúde é apontada como um desafio que esbarra na construção social das masculinidades e no direcionamento dos serviços para a atenção a mulheres e crianças. Este trabalho tem o objetivo de compreender como as questões relativas à sexualidade masculina são abordadas na Atenção Primária à Saúde. Para tanto, investiga como homens, situados no contexto de pobreza urbana, percebem e lidam com a sexualidade e com necessidades em saúde sexual; como a sexualidade masculina se configura como tema e demanda nos serviços de saúde e como interagem profissionais e usuários frente a ela. Trata-se de um recorte de pesquisa multicêntrica, voltada para a investigação da relação dos homens com os serviços de Atenção Primária à Saúde. Este recorte se detém à análise da observação etnográfica da estrutura e do funcionamento de duas Unidades Básicas de Saúde da cidade de Natal/RN, Brasil, e de entrevistas semi-estruturadas com 57 homens, usuários desses serviços. O trajeto analítico-interpretativo foi orientado, no campo teórico, pela perspectiva de gênero e, no campo metodológico, pela hermenêutica filosófica. Os resultados permitem vislumbrar a relação entre diferentes construções do ser homem e o exercício da sexualidade. Nos serviços pesquisados, além de uma desigualdade na atenção dada a homens e mulheres, nota-se que a abordagem à sexualidade de ambos é feita de forma diferente. Está presente a imagem de uma sexualidade masculina ativa, impulsiva e exacerbada, em oposição à de uma sexualidade feminina passiva e atrelada à reprodução. Isso pode ser visto na distribuição de camisinhas, feita para os homens com sentido prioritário de prevenção de DST/AIDS e para as mulheres como método contraceptivo. Destacam-se ainda, como assuntos dessa abordagem, as DST/AIDS, problemas relativos à ereção e a prevenção do câncer de próstata. De forma geral, a abordagem à sexualidade masculina é reduzida aos termos da medicalização e cerceada por valores morais. Não são considerados os sentidos e significados que os assuntos apresentados podem assumir para os homens. Além disso, as demandas em saúde sexual apresentadas pelos usuários recebem pouca atenção e são, com frenquência, consideradas como alçada de serviços especializados. Configura-se, assim, um quadro em que a vulnerabilidade dos homens ao adoecimento sexual parece estar atrelada, para além dos aspectos individuais e sociais da construção das masculinidades, à elaboração das políticas públicas de saúde e à estrutura organizacional dos serviços. O trabalho aponta para a possibilidade de articulação do pólo homem-sexualidade, pouco presente nos serviços, ao pólo mulher-reprodução. Defende a adoção de uma noção de saúde sexual e uma abordagem da sexualidade masculina (e feminina) mais contextualizadas com a perspectiva de gênero, dos direitos sexuais, da promoção e proteção da saúde

In recent years, many studies have been investigating the…

Det finns vetenskapliga belägg för att män och kvinnor reagerar olika på stress men behovet av forskning kring hur det ser ut och varför samt hur vi kan åstadkomma förändring kvarstår. Syftet med vår studie var att beskriva män och kvinnors upplevelse och hantering av stress. I denna studie är det män och kvinnors egen upplevelse och hantering av stress som ligger till grund för resultaten. Datainsamling gjordes genom en enkät som lades ut på sociala media, riktad till män och kvinnor i arbetsför ålder (20 till 65 år). Det resulterade i 233 respondenter. Studien har en kvantitativ ansats. Datamaterialet fördes över till en matris i Microsoft Excel och sedan till grafer. Dataanalysens resultat består av relevanta fynd kopplat till skillnader i män och kvinnor upplevelse och hantering av stress. Resultaten visar lika hög andel oro och ångest hos män och kvinnor men fler män än kvinnor upplever att de går på högvarv av stress. Kvinnor upplever sin stress mer frekvent som en fara för egen hälsa i jämförelse med män. Hälsovägledare kan ha nytta av studien utifrån ett hälsopromotivt perspektiv för att bistå ett mer individanpassat stöd i stresshantering som tar hänsyn till män och kvinnors olika sätt att uppleva och hantera stress.

There is scientific evidence that men and women react differently to stress but the need for research into how it looks and how we can achieve change persists. The aim of our study was to describe men and women's experience and management of stress. In this study, the men and women's own experience and management of stress is the basis of the results. Data collection was done by a questionnaire on the social media, targeted to men and women of working age (20-65 years). This resulted in 233 respondents. The study has a quantitative approach. The data material was transferred to a matrix in Microsoft Excel and then to graphs. The results of data consists relevant findings linked to differences in men and women`s experience and management of stress. The results show equal high proportion of concern and anxiety among men and women but more men than women experience that they go into overdrive of stress. Women feel their stress more frequently as a danger to their own health in comparison with men. Health guides can benefit from the study on the basis of a preventive health perspective to assist more personalised support in stress management which takes account of men and women's different way to experience and manage stress.

▼ National and international epidemiological data show a general male disadvantage in health, and the dominant explanation for men’s poorer health status usually points to men’s belief and behaviours in relation to health and illness: men, it is suggested, disregard health and mismanage illness in order to fulfil social expectations around masculinity. The present research responds to a call for empirical studies that explore men’s health and illness practices not through biomedical or behavioural explanations, which tend to homogenize and oversimplify men’s experiences, rather with a critical approach that would allow to go beyond the idea that “masculinity is dangerous to men’s health.” Masculinity is here intended not as a fixed, universal, biological trait, but rather as a configuration of practices that are accomplished in social action and, therefore, can differ according to the specific gender relations existing in different social settings. This critical perspective allowed studying men’s experiences of health and illness by taking into account also its complex relation with gender construction, but also with structural differences and relational contexts. This research explored, through the conduction of 40 in-depth interviews, the experiences of men living with an intrusive chronic illness, autoimmune diabetes. This condition requires a series of self- management practices in everyday life that could be considered as emasculating (e.g. eating healthy, body discipline and self-monitoring) and that may pose specific challenges to dominant assumptions of masculinity such as bodily strength, control of the body and of emotions, independence and resistance to pain, and for this reason it has been considered as particularly appropriate for exploring the complex intertwining of chronic illness and gender. More specifically, the analysis focused on three areas: namely, the impact of chronic illness in the everyday life; the multiple ways of “doing” masculinity in the context of the “doing” of autoimmune diabetes; and, lastly, the impact of diabetes and of the medicalization of male sexual health on sexuality and intimacy practices. Overall, the empirical material allowed for great insight into men’s experiences of illness and depicted a complex picture, very different from the monolithic description offered by the majority of studies previously conducted on this issue.

När den reproduktiva hälsan sviktar kan känslor av att vara mindre värd uppkomma och såväl manlighet som kvinnlighet är begrepp som tycks vara starkt knutna till människans förmåga att reproducera sig. Infertilitet är ett problem vilket uppstår i en relation. Trots detta har det under lång tid setts som ett kvinnligt problem. Studien syftar till att belysa fenomenet infertilitet ur mäns perspektiv och utgår från ett livsvärldsperspektiv. Totalt deltog sju män i studien, livsvärldsintervjuer genomfördes och materialet analyserades utifrån en fenomenologisk hermeneutisk ansats. Materialet mynnade ut i sammanlagt tolv subteman vilka resulterade i fyra stycken teman. Framtidstro, Intimitet, Maktlöshet samt Uthärdande tycks tillsammans stå för innebörden av fenomenet. Männen har ett behov av att finna strategier och på så vis öka känslan av att hantera och begripa den egna livssituationen vilket ses som en röd tråd genom resultatet. Männen tycks se sina upplevelser kring infertilitet som något positivt. De har intagit en ny roll och en stärkt relation till partnern belyses. Kopplingar till Antonovskys teorier kring KASAM kan ses och vikten av delaktighet betonas i resultatet. Diskussion förs även kring huruvida skillnader i bakomliggande orsaker till infertiliteten kan påverka resultatet.

When reproductive health is failing and feelings of being less worthy arise and both masculinity and femininity are concepts that seem to be strongly linked to man's ability to reproduce. Infertility is a problem which arises in a relationship. Despite this, it has for a long time been seen as a women's problem. The study aims to shed light on the phenomenon of infertility from men´s perspective and based on a life-world perspective. The study includes seven men, life-world interviews and material reviewed on the basis of a phenomenon logical hermeneutical approach. The material resulted in a total of twelve subthemes resulting four themes. Optimism in the future, Intimacy, Powerlessness and Persevering seem to stand together for the meaning of the phenomenon. The men have a need to find strategies and thereby increase the feeling of manage and comprehend their life situation. The men seem to see their experiences of infertility as something positive. They have taken on a new role and a stronger relationship with the partner is illuminated. Links with Antonovskys theories about KASAM can be seen and the importance of participation is emphasized in the outcome. There are also discussions on whether the differences in the underlying causes of infertility can affect results.

▼ This thesis explores the issue of men's access to chronic illness self management programs from a social constructionist perspective. A combination of research methodologies was used; a quantitative analysis to confirm gender differences in levels and patterns of service use; a qualitative analysis to gain an increased understanding of the factors affecting men's access; and a trial to test the application of the research findings. The clients and services of Arthritis Victoria were chosen as the setting for this research. The quantitative analyses were conducted on contingency tables and odds ratios and confirmed that men were under-represented as service users. The analyses also identified gender differences in patterns of service use. The qualitative analysis was based on a series of in-depth, semi-structured interviews. It was undertaken from a grounded theory approach to allow for the development of theoretical explanations grounded in the data. It was found that men's decisions to access chronic illness self management programs were strongly influenced by dominant social constructions of masculinity which constrained help-seeking and health management behaviour. However, the restrictive influence of hegemonic masculinity was progressively undermined by the increasing severity of the chronic condition until a crisis point was reached in terms of the severity of the condition or its impact on lifestyle. This resulted in a reformulation or rejection of hegemonic masculinity. The described conceptual framework was consistent for men from diverse social groupings, although it appeared less prominent in both younger and older men, suggesting that dominant social constructions of masculinity have the greatest influence on health decisions during the middle stage of adulthood when work and family obligations are greatest. The thesis findings informed the development of some guiding principles for reviewing the structure and delivery of chronic illness self management services for men. The guiding principles will have direct application in the planning of Arthritis Victoria programs, and implications for other chronic illness self management programs in Australia, and also in Western countries with a similar health and sociocultural setting to Australia.
