- Abstract
This article presents an overview of the perceptions of men living in a rural territory of northern Minas Gerais, Brazil, about their masculinity and the interferences of work in the search for health services offered by a family health strategy team. The method prioritized was hermeneutics-dialectics with participant observation, records in a field diary and 41 individual interviews. Data analysis showed that rural work and the hegemonic masculinity model direct these men to the role of financial provider of families. Most workers only seek primary health care services when they present acute conditions that interfere in the execution of work, considering the basic health unit as a female space. The ways in which masculinities and health services are placed in this territory give rise to feelings of distancing rural workers from health care practices. One of the major challenges is the development of actions that bring this public closer to the health team and vice versa, thus contributing to access, reception and linking care to the male population.
