Hombres, género y salud

Abstract

Los hombres siempre han estado presentes en las agendas de salud, basadas principalmente en enfoques clínicos y epidemiológicos. Para ampliar estos enfoques, es necesario abordar el tema desde una perspectiva que tenga en cuenta la relación entre género y salud. Además, la discusión debe tener en cuenta la interseccionalidad de género (masculinidades) con otras categorías de diferenciación social, como raza, etnicidad, clase social, generación, sexualidad. Los artículos aprobados en la convocatoria “Hombres, género y salud” de la revista Salud Colectiva ofrecen producciones teóricas y empíricas que sin duda contribuirán al debate, y aunque este conjunto de textos no agota la complejidad del problema, abre un rico debate sobre las tensiones y las brechas que aún persisten en las discusiones sobre el tema.

Implementation of the São-Borjense Mother-Baby Strategy: Action research

“…There is evidence of an intense movement, both within Brazil and globally, to achieve the 2030 goals. While in Brazil the goal is to reduce maternal mortality to 20 deaths per 100,000 live births, at the global level the goal is 70 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births (3,4,18,19). Then, the following question arises: How to achieve this goal in peripheral municipalities of Brazil and the world?…”

“…A study shows that Brazil is experiencing an epidemic of elective cesarean sections, with indicators reaching more than 80%, which corresponds to the highest rate on the planet (4). These and other conditions disqualify the attention to delivery and birth, interfere with the resoluteness of care to the newborn, and hinder the humanization of health care processes (3,4).…”

“…In addition to maternal mortality rates that are still high, early neonatal mortality is the component of infant mortality that has shown the smallest decline in recent years, reflecting, in part, the inefficiency of obstetric and newborn health care (1,2). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), during the last decade, approximately 289,000 women worldwide lost their lives during pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium, resulting in a global mortality rate of 210 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births (4).…”

Sentimento e emoções de homens no enquadramento da doença Covid-19

“…It is worth noting that, in Brazil, as well as in other countries, the most vulnerable populations have been damaged by the destructive effects of the pandemic, which, in turn, potentiate inequality, exclusion and social inequalities, this being a challenge to global security 7 . The elevation of hunger and poverty is also feared, as in the case of men in the streets, homeless, in prison situation, refugees and immigrants.For these reasons, it is crucial to establish post-pandemic remedial measures 42,43 , as well as review models of hegemonic masculinities compromising men's understanding about the health and disease processes, the adoption of practices of health care and the reduction of vulnerabilities by this public 12,44 , once the masculinities have shown as a relevant marker of analysis in social-historical health phenomena as they present in an intersected way, making men vulnerable and most affected by the conditions imposed by the pandemic.…”

“…Global data reveal the concerns and feelings experienced by the population before the news, sanitary measures to prevent the spread of the virus that have resulted in changes in daily life and in interactions derived from the pandemic [8][9][10] . A study shows that there is no selectivity for the contagion of the new Coronavirus, however the disease will impact differently due to gender, race and class markers 11 , if intersecting as markers of social differentiation permeating the construction of masculinities 12 .…”
