“…Prostate cancer surgery often causes a reduction in penis length , which may affect the patient's masculine identity, as seen in this study. The penis plays a role for a man's feeling of masculinity as it is one of the apparent differences between men and women, as even small children are aware . Some men furthermore attach great importance to the size of their penis, as a large member indicates masculinity and sexual process .…”

Men experience erectile dysfunction as a negative influence on their sexuality with respect to their sex life, sense of self and intimate relations. The dysfunction is thus shown not only to affect sexual life but also to have repercussions for a range of aspects in male intimate life. A broader perspective should be applied in supporting the men's efforts towards improving their quality of life, for example through sexual counselling services performed by nurses.

“…Em um contexto que valoriza a produção de bens e a geração de lucro, a perda ou afastamento do trabalho podem resultar em uma desvalorização social, fazendo com que homens e mulheres ocupem um lugar marginalizado na sociedade e, portanto, se esforcem para manter os seus postos de emprego e trabalho. A descoberta do adoecimento poderia exigir o afastamento das atividades de trabalho, o que poderia gerar, além de desconforto psicossocial, prejuízos financeiros (Connel, 2005;Connel & Messerschmidt, 2013;Oliveira, Santos, Rocha, Braga, & Souza, 2014;Novak & Sabino, 2015;Martins & Modena, 2016b).…”

“…A dificuldade de adesão da população masculina ao exame de toque vem sendo constatada em diferentes estudos, em diversos contextos (Paiva et al, 2011;Krumwiede & Krumwiede, 2012;Curtis et al, 2013;Oliveira et al, 2014;King et al, 2015;Martins & Modena, 2016b). O momento da realização do exame de toque, também denominado pelos entrevistados como dedada, foi marcado por sentimentos de medo, vergonha e constrangimento e foi vivenciado como um procedimento muito invasivo e desconfortável.…”

“…Ao contrário do corpo feminino, socialmente considerado como um espaço passivo e aberto a intervenções invasivas e manipulações constantes, o corpo masculino se configuraria como um elemento ativo e autossuficiente, sendo, portanto, inviolável, sobretudo no que se refere às regiões socialmente interditadas, como o ânus (Cayless et al, 2010;Mata et al, 2014;Modena et al, 2014;Oliveira et al, 2014).…”

RESUMO.O estudo tem como objetivo identificar e analisar as Representações Sociais de corpo para homens após o adoecimento por câncer na próstata. Foram realizadas entrevistas narrativas com oito homens com idade entre 50 e 70 anos, diagnosticados com câncer na p róstata e que realizaram tratamento oncológico há pelo menos um ano. As entrevistas foram gravadas, transcritas e analisadas por meio da Abordagem Fenomenológica Interpretativa. Os resultados apontam que antes do adoecimento, os participantes representavam seus corpos como fortes, resistentes e saudáveis, tendo no modelo de masculinidade hegemônica um importante ponto de ancoragem para estas representações. A ausência de sintomas que provocassem desconfortos corporais contribuiu para a percepção de corpo sa udável. A busca por serviços de saúde somente ocorreu após a manifestação e agravamentos dos primeiros sintomas, que limitaram suas ações diárias e alteraram o seu cotidiano. O adoecimento por câncer na próstata e as propostas de tratamento oncológico, em especial, a prostatectomia, foram destacados pelos participantes como uma experiência marcante e produtora de grande desconforto físico e psicológico. Após o adoecimento, os homens passaram a representar os seus corpos como frágeis, doentes e debilitados. Os entrevistados chamam a atenção para o impacto das transformações corporais, especialmente aquelas relacionadas às disfunções sexuais e urológicas, nos modos de pensar, sentir e agir, em relação à própria masculinidade. Nesse sentido, as limitações impos tas pelo adoecimento e tratamento oncológico se contrapõem ao modelo de masculinidade hegemônica, favorecendo o sentimento de ser menos homem do que antes do adoecimento. Palavras-chave:Câncer na próstata; masculinidade; representação social. SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS OF THE BODY AFTER THE ILLNESS BY PROSTATE CANCERABSTRACT. This study aims to identify and analyze the social representations of body for men after the illness from prostate cancer. Narrative interviews were conducted with 08 men with age s ranging from 50 and 70 years, diagnosed with this disease and who had undergone oncological treatment, for at least one year. The interviews were recorded, transcribed and analyzed using the Interpretative Phenomenological Approach. The results show that before the illness, the participants represented their bodies as strong, resistant and healthy taking in the hegemonic masculinity model an important anchorage point for these representations. The absence of symptoms that cause bodily discomforts contribu ted to the feeling of healthy body. The search for health services only occurred after the manifestation of the first symptoms and its exacerbations, which limited their daily actions and change their daily lives. Participants mentioned the illness by prostate cancer and oncological treatment proposals, in particular the prostatectomy, as a remarkable experience that producer of great physical and psychological discomfort. After the illness, the men began to represent their bodies as fragile, sick a...

Purpose: Prostate cancer (CaP) is the most common cancer in Black men (BM), and the number of Black CaP survivors is rapidly increasing. Although Black immigrants are among the fastest-growing and most heterogeneous ethnic groups in the US, limited data exist regarding their CaP experiences. Therefore, this study aimed to explore and model the experiences of ethnically diverse Black men with CaP.Methods: In-depth interviews were conducted with 34 participants: Native-born BM (NBBM) (n=17), African-born BM (ABBM) (n=11), and Caribbean-born BM (CBBM) (n=6) CaP survivors recruited through QR-code embedded yers posted in Black businesses, clinics, social media platforms, and existing research networks within the US. Guided by Charmaz's constructivist grounded theory methodology, the interviews were analyzed using constant comparison following key stages of initial, focused, and theoretical coding using Atlas.ti v23.Results: Participants were thirty-four men aged 49-84 years (mean±SD, 66±8). Most were married (77%), likely to be diagnosed at Stage I (35%), and treated with radiotherapy (56%). Our study ndings explored the complex trajectory of Black prostate cancer (CaP) survivors, unveiling a comprehensive model termed "Journeying through Unfamiliar Terrain." Comprising three phases and 11 sub-phases, this model uniquely captures the pre-diagnosis awareness and post-treatment adaptation among survivors. Conclusion: The resulting theoretical model delineates the entire CaP survivorship process among BM, providing contextual and conceptual understanding for developing interventions and enhancing patientcentered care for ethnically diverse CaP survivors, pivotal in bridging the gaps in survivorship research and healthcare practices.
