- Abstract
This study aims to know the reasons of the men's primary attention service low demand, using the qualitative approach. Eighteen men, from 25 to 29 years old, at the beginning of the treatment or under medical follow-up in the ambulatory of specialties of the Hospital Universitário de Juiz de Fora (HU/CAS/UFJF) were research's subjects. The comprehensive analysis revealed the Units of Signification: The man's knowledge about the health prevention; the moment in that the man looks for assistance for the health; men's sensations and feelings in the process of treatment. We consider that the male identity construction based on the question of the gender and the precarious health services is difficult for the man the search for the primary assistance and that the professional team of the primary attention must be prepared to attend the man in its needs, developing actions for the health that cover the male singularity.
