Method A qualitative, multicenter study was carried out between March 2021 and April 2022, in which 94 older men who answered an online form participated. The data were processed and coded with the support of the NVIVO software, analyzed by the Collective Subject Discourse technique, and applied the Theory of Unpleasant Symptoms to interpret results. Results Men between 60 and 88 participated; most self-declared heterosexual and white. The pandemic scenario and social isolation were considered situational influencing factors for different dimensions of symptoms and, as a performance for the experience of living the symptoms, remote medical consultations by Telemedicine, virtual affective interactions, and consumption of pornography on erotic websites. Conclusions and implications for practice Syndemic exposure to COVID-19 triggered clusters of unpleasant symptoms, of a biopsychosocial nature, in the health of elderly Brazilian men, which requires management by Nursing.

Resumo Objetivo analisar os clusters de sintomas desagradáveis em homens idosos na pandemia/sindemia da COVID-19. Método estudo qualitativo, multicêntrico, realizado entre março de 2021 e abril de 2022, no qual participaram 94 homens idosos, os quais responderam a um formulário on-line. Os dados foram processados e codificados com apoio do software NVIVO, analisados por meio da técnica de Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo, e interpretados com base na Teoria dos Sintomas Desagradáveis. Resultados participaram homens entre 60 e 88 anos, de maioria autodeclarada heterossexuais e brancos. Durante os primeiros dois anos da pandemia da COVID-19, emergiram clusters de sintomas desagradáveis biopsicossociais na saúde de homens idosos como: picos de pressão alta, depressão, ansiedade e sedentarismo. O cenário pandêmico e o isolamento social foram considerados fatores influenciáveis situacionais para as diferentes dimensões dos sintomas. Como desempenho para a experiência de vivenciar os sintomas, foram considerados as consultas médicas remotas pela Telemedicina, interações afetivas virtuais e consumo de pornografia em sites eróticos. Conclusões e implicações para a prática a exposição sindêmica à COVID-19 deflagrou clusters de sintomas desagradáveis, de caráter biopsicossocial, na saúde de homens idosos brasileiros, o que requer gerenciamento pela Enfermagem.

“…Em relação aos homens, neste estudo, identifica-se défice no uso do programa de APS, o que impacta na promoção da saúde deles. Esses achados corroboram a identificação dos índices de dificuldade de adesão ao programa de saúde do homem, além do período pandêmico contribuir ainda mais para tal defasagem (28) . Assim, ressalta-se a importância do melhor preparo dos profissionais e da realização da educação em saúde.…”

Objective: to analyze the access of people with hearing, physical, and visual disabilities to primary healthcare services. Methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted with 250 participants, and data collection was implemented in three stages: contact with the health department, locating the residences of persons with disabilities within the coverage area of the primary healthcare unit, and analysis of integrated data. Results: there was a predominance of older individuals, individuals of non-white race/ethnicity, males, and those who were either married or in a consensual union. Self-transportation, including cars, motorcycles, or bicycles, was the primary means of access to services, followed by walking. Most individuals sought health services within six months, followed by those who sought care between six months and one year, mainly because of chronic or worsening conditions. Conclusions: impaired access was identified, as evidenced by multiple barriers, including transportation, architectural, and communication barriers. Contributions to practice: it is important to consider the disparities, vulnerabilities, and health status of the disabled population in health care.
