    This paper analyzes concepts of gender and masculinity among Primary Healthcare professionals in four Brazilian States (Pernambuco, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Norte, São Paulo). It is based on two perspectives: the meanings associated with being a man and the relations between masculinity and healthcare. This qualitative study is part of a multicentric investigation, which used triangulation methods as a benchmark. Sixty-nine in-depth interviews carried out among health professionals with higher education were analyzed. The discourses (re)produce the notion that health facilities are feminized spaces. Within the daily routine, this notion is translated as reinforcing the idea that the male body is not a locus of this care, as opposed to the female body which is considered a locus of care. The presence of a hegemonic pattern of masculinity is prominent among professionals' representations of men and seems to influence the latter, in their lack of commitment with healthcare. The existence of a stereotyped gender model (re)produces disparities between men and women in healthcare and compromises the visibility of other meanings and expressions of gender identities.

    O homem na atenção primária à saúde: discutindo (in)visibilidade a partir da perspectiva de gênero
    (UNESP, 2010-06-01) Couto, Márcia Thereza [UNIFESP]; Pinheiro, Thiago Félix; Valença, Otávio; Machin, Rosana [UNIFESP]; Silva, Geórgia Sibele Nogueira da; Gomes, Romeu; Schraiber, Lilia Blima; Figueiredo, Wagner dos Santos; Universidade de São Paulo (USP); Conselho Regional de Medicina de Pernambuco; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte Departamento de Psicologia; Fundação Oswaldo Cruz Instituto Fernandes Figueira
    This paper presents an ethnographic study on the relationship between men and primary healthcare in eight clinics in four Brazilian states. The objective was to comprehend the (in)visibility of men within the daily routine of care, based on gender perspectives, with discussion of the mechanisms that favor inequalities in healthcare work. Different dimensions of male (in)visibility were identified within this context: targeting of men in interventions within the field of public healthcare policies; male users who face difficulties in seeking attendance; difficulty in stimulating effective participation among men; and male subjects of care (for themselves and for others). The paper emphasizes the importance of gender studies and their relationship with health, while discussing the production of social inequalities that are (re)produced by the gender inequalities that are present in the social imaginary and in healthcare services.
