- Abstract
This is an exploratory study that aimed to know the perceptions of men about their health needs, whether they are served by primary health care services, and the reasons that made them seek care at a university health service. Five semi-structured interviews were conducted with men, in which they were asked how they perceived the care of their health needs in primary health care units and why they were making use of a university service, instead of using the Primary Health Care. The thematic analysis of the data revealed three categories: "Lack of access to basic units due to the need to maintain a steady job"; "The desire to be embraced and create ties with professionals in the health service" and "The guarantee of individualized care" that takes into account their particularities as a man. This study made it possible to highlight the need for professional training and reorganization of the health service to meet the male population in order to meet their real health needs, considering, therefore, issues related to male gender.
