“…Consequently, the men in this study were forced to deal with their problems on their own, which left them further distressed because they had actively chosen to drink alcohol daily without an immediate wish to change behavior. Although international and national studies suggest how challenges in the relationship between citizens and health professionals could be prevented if professionals focused on the social context, such as living conditions and nonhealth-related issues in a personalized approach (Brüne, Lisby, Kjeldsen, & Elsborg, 2018; Daiski, 2007; Hjelmar et al, 2014; Pinheiro Cardoso, Pereira Da Silva Martins, & Duarte Monteiro, 2017; T. Thompson, Kreuter, & Boyum, 2016), the socially marginalized men in this study demonstrated a delay in health-related help-seeking by ignoring or scaling down their experienced health challenges.…”

Research shows that men tend to have delayed health-related help-seeking behavior. In this ethnographic study, we explored influential factors related to health-related help-seeking behavior among socially marginalized men who seem not to benefit from existing municipal health care services in a large Danish municipality. The study included 200 hours of participant observations and 25 ethnographic interviews with men between 45 and 65 years of age in their own homes and in public parks among their peers. In this study, we found that the men had several complex and interacting social- and health-related conditions, which seemed to affect their health-related help-seeking behavior. We conclude that collaborative initiatives between the outreach team who occasionally visits bench sites in the public parks and the municipal health care services in the local areas could lay the groundwork for encouraging men’s health-related help-seeking behavior and aid men in supporting each other.

“…Although health promotion is seen as a major activity of health professionals, it should include the coordination between health institutions and community partners through programs conducive to healthy and successful aging promoting social interaction and mental health, promotion of physical activity, promotion of healthy eating habits, prevention and self-monitoring of chronic diseases, promotion of a medication regimen adjusted to the needs, promotion of safety measures [18], and accident prevention [19].…”

“…The provision of proximity health care in the social context where the elderly lives should be a response that promotes healthy, active, and successful aging, with the quality of life that it implies [18]. The principle of aging in place advocates that the elderly should remain in their own place, in their own homes, and in the social context that contributes to their autonomy, according to their preferences [8].…”

Health promotion and disease prevention are closely linked to health literacy. Therefore, intervention to increase individuals’ knowledge is essential if action is to be taken to promote a healthy lifestyle with support from health professionals for decision making on choices leading to behavioral change. Taking into account the growing aging population, nurses and nursing students have to develop interventions to promote health and prevent disease in these people, in order to keep them healthy and with quality of life. This study aims to understand how nursing students’ experiences in a clinical teaching context contributed to the development of their competencies in the promotion of health and prevention of disease in the elderly. Method: Qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive study carried out with ten students about to finish a graduate nursing course in a higher education institution in the South of Portugal. This study was carried out through narratives, one of the most common data collection procedures in social and health investigations. The content analysis technique, more specifically the thematic categorical analysis, was used for data analysis. The study received authorization from the Ethics Committee of the institution where it took place. Results: Three categories were found: “Strategies to promote health and prevent disease in the elderly”, “Health improvements from the implementation of the strategies to promote health and prevent disease in the elderly”, and “The impact your participation in these strategies to promote health and prevent disease in the elderly had on your formative process”. Conclusion: The students developed competencies during their clinical teaching experiences through the implementation of strategies of health promotion and disease prevention adapted to/focused on the needs of the elderly.

“…The repercussion is that the elderly are aging more and with a better quality of life. [1][2] However, the demographic transformation was not accompanied by the health services, which, even adopting the Family Health Strategy (FHS) as a guideline for Primary Health Care (PHC), still maintain the care logic directed towards the cure and rehabilitation of the patient, with incipient investment in disease prevention actions and health promotion for the elderly population. 3 To redefine the health practices for the elderly population, national and international measures were taken, following the example of strategies that impact the determinants of Active Aging in which the Health sector is inserted.…”

Objective: to disclose knowledge and practices related to active aging based on the educational and care-related dialogical proposal with professionals from the Family Health Strategy. Method: a convergent care research developed with professionals from the Family Health Strategy, in a municipality in the Central North area of Paraná-Brazil. Data was collected through interviews with 14 professionals with an average duration of 12 minutes followed by a Culture Circle with four professionals and a duration of 59 minutes, following the educational stages of the same, namely: investigation, thematization and disclosure. The premises of Freire's dialogicity were used as a theoretical framework. Results: the data show that professionals have different conceptions about aging, distinct ways of conceptualizing active aging, and scarcity of systematization for the care of the robust elderly. These findings were the basis for the dialogical educational design that allowed to transform and build new knowledge on the theme. Conclusion: the educational and care-related dialogical pathway allowed the collective definition of aging and the understanding of active aging, thus making it possible to advance towards the promotion of comprehensive care for the elderly. The convergent care research approach is shown to be effective for studies of an educational dialogic nature due to its insertion in the context of study and collective construction based on reality.
