Resumen

LEITE DE MORAES, Maria Cecília; DA COSTA OLIVEIRA, Robson  y  SILVA, Maria de Jesus. A masculine question: knowing possible obstacles to the accomplishment of the tests of detection of prostate cancer. Rev Med Hered [online]. 2017, vol.28, n.4, pp.230-235. ISSN 1018-130X.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.20453/rmh.v28i4.3222.

Objectives: To determine if men undergo the examination for prostate cancer detection, and uncover the difficulties to perform it. Methods: Exploratory and transversal study. It was attended by 52 employees of the Court of Justice of the State of São Paulo. For the collection of information a story was elaborated with questions related to the subject. The following demographic data were also collected: age, education, function and religion. The methodology used to analyze the data was the Discourse of the Collective Subject. Results: 75% of the individuals had already performed some type of examination, which indicated an important change in the male scenario. However, it was possible to observe aspects peculiar to masculinity; Among respondents, only one made explicit the rectal examination. Conclusions: Taboo, prejudice, shame and fear are still dangerous reality data. Professionals and services should be prepared to receive and welcome this audience. Demystification is health promotion.

Palabras clave : Prostate neoplasms; men’s health; early diagnosis; health education; health promotion.
