- Abstract
Objective: to report the experience of revitalizing a group of men in a Family Health Unit. Method: a qualitative, descriptive study of experience report type about the activities carried out by students of the Nursing course of the Federal University of Recôncavo da Bahia, for the revitalization of the group of men of a Family Health Unit. Results: six meetings were held, with an average duration of two hours, with a median participation of seven to 20 men, in the age range of 30 to 80 years. Through the implementation of techniques that were based on communication, corporeality and active methodologies, men were able to break up with their masculinities and interact with each other, revealing anxieties, fears, worries and prejudices. Conclusion: the participation of FHU men was considered satisfactory in view of positive adherence and evaluation during all meetings. An increase in perception about quality of life and self-care with HE activities carried out was observed.
