- Abstract
The illness process of men has been determined by their behavior in society and how they express their beliefs about masculinity. The objective of this study was to identify the actions performed by nurses of Primary Health Care (PHC) directed to the promotion of men's health. It is descriptive, exploratory, and quantitative approach research. The research was conducted with 29 nurses from the PHC services of the city of São Carlos-SP. Data were collected through an interview using an instrument validated. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Still, data collection began after approval by the Research Ethics Committee. The results show that 65.5% (19) of the nurses reported not having received training on men's health. Regarding factors that facilitate men's access to health services, it is noteworthy that 19% (11) of the answers included the bond established between professionals and users; and, as hindering agents, 35.1% (19) of the answers highlighted men's culture. Thus, for greater effectiveness of men's health care, health professionals and managers need to be sensitized in the search for strategies to facilitate the male population's access to health services.
