Men's health, Primary health care, client adherenceAbstract
Several issues corroborate men’s negative relationship with primary health care services, causing the male population to suffer from the most diverse obstacles related to their male health. The aim was to identify the main factors that lead men to have a low rate of adherence to health services in primary health care. The bibliographic search was carried out using the SciELO, Lilacs and BDENF databases. The following descriptors were used in combination with the Boolean operator AND: Men’s health AND Primary health care AND Client adherence. Articles written in Portuguese or English and freely available in full from January 2017 to December 2023 were included. Studies published in annals, monographs, dissertations, theses and that are not freely available in full were excluded. The sample consisted of 10 articles. Factors inherent to the culture in which man has been inserted were observed, Incompatibility of schedules, a sense of invulnerability and a perception of insignificance were the main results. It was possible to conclude that the issues that make it difficult for men to have a better relationship with their health are rooted in themselves and therefore require a holistic approach. It was possible to conclude that the issues that make it difficult for men to have a better relationship with their health are rooted in themselves and therefore require a holistic approach. It is therefore of the utmost importance for men to be informed about these effects, as well as being monitored by the multi-professional primary health care team, in order to promote health planning.
