Disordered eating in men is said to be uncommon with men forming less than ten per cent of reported cases. Yet it has been suggested that the number of males with eating disorders is beginning to increase, affecting more men than ever before. This presents problems for healthcare services that have created previous models of support around women. Current research offers pathological and epidemiological data, including information about testing men for eating disorders using male-centred instruments. However, understanding is aetiolated due to a focus on medical accounts of male disordered eating, rather than focusing on the stories that men themselves have to tell. This exploratory qualitative study addresses this problem by focusing on men’s stories of disordered eating. Four men share their accounts of living with an eating disorder and these are analysed using a hermeneutic approach, in order to glean insights into their experiences with food, body and self. These insights include an examination of the meaning of fat male bodies, analysis of the phenomenon of gender ambivalence that prevails in men with disordered eating and the fragmented and colonised nature of the male eating disordered self. These represent an original contribution to understanding as they have not been considered elsewhere in the literature to date. Additionally, an extensive analysis of the male eating disorder literature, use of a hermeneutic methodology and the positioning of male eating disorders within the context of masculinities studies further add to the novel value of this research.

Title: Objectivity of gymnasts' achievements judging in relation by Code of Points Men's Artistic Gymnastics changes The problem of our work is an objectivity of gymnastics way of ranking or judging. Analysis of results reached at chosen men's artistic gymnastics competition and also a method of gymnastics judging was used for solving purpose of our thesis. The evaluation of gymnasts achievements are realized by referees according to Code of Points (CoP) Men's Artistic Gymnastics (MAG), which are periodically changed. The purpose was verify possibility of determination degree of objectivity judging gymnastic performances in relation to changes rules of men's artistic gymnastics realized in years 2006, 2009, 2013 through analysis of gymnastics results in seniors and juniors categories reached on important international competitions. We used methods and techniques of statistical description for ordinal data; Sign test; Wilcoxon test; contingency table and sign diagram for contingency table. For evaluation rate of interrater concordance referees of panel "B" or "E" we used ICC and Pearson's correlation coefficient. For evaluation of bilateral discriminability of reached gymnastics results we used SEM and calculation of Critical Differences. In connection with changes of CoP MAG on monitored period...

Os objetivos da pesquisa foram: desvelar alguns dos motivos do diagnóstico e encaminhamento tardio para um serviço de referência; analisar quais regiões encaminharam pacientes mais tardiamente e entender o itinerário terapêutico desses pacientes. Trata-se de uma pesquisa quanti-qualitativa, desenvolvida em duas etapas. No 1º momento realizou-se um estudo retrospectivo, descritivo e quantitativo de dados levantados junto ao RHC, de 1531 pacientes com câncer de próstata recebidos no Hospital Amaral Carvalho em 2015 e 2016. Na segunda etapa foi realizado um estudo qualitativo, com realização de 100 entrevistas, com perguntas fechadas e abertas. Entre os resultados destaca-se que a maioria dos pacientes está acima de 50 anos (97,77%), com média de 66 anos. A faixa etária de 70 a 79 anos apresentou o maior número de óbitos (3,66%) do total de 141 (9,21%), sendo o maior índice de pacientes com estádio IV (4,25%). 28,15% (431) dos pacientes chegaram com estádio avançado, sendo 131 da DRS VI (Bauru), 85 da DRS IX (Marília), 84 da DRS XVI (Sorocaba), 52 da DRS III (Araraquara) e os demais casos em menores números das demais DRS. Na 2ª etapa da pesquisa, constatou-se que dos 100 pacientes entrevistados: 78 são casados, 41 possuem de 3 a 4 filhos, 50 estudaram até o 4º ano, 67 já estão aposentados, 79 buscaram atendimento SUS. Dos sujeitos, 76 se autonomearam brancos, 68 não fumantes, 56 pacientes afirmaram possuir familiares com câncer, sendo o familiar mais citado foi o pai (21), e o câncer de próstata o de maior prevalência. Ainda 70 pacientes declararam fazer exames de prevenção, 55 tiveram sintomas, apenas 20 relataram encontrar dificuldades no encaminhamento ao serviço especializado e 43 aguardaram menos de um mês para o atendimento no HAC. A pesquisa constatou que os casos de pacientes com estágios mais avançados (III e IV) somaram 24,85% em 2015 e 32,53% em 2016. Os valores culturais relacionados à masculinidade se destacaram como o principal motivo do encaminhamento tardio destes pacientes. A desorganização e a falta de comprometimento de alguns profissionais da saúde básica também foram obstáculos no acesso aos serviços de alta complexidade. Como proposta de auxílio na detecção precoce do câncer de próstata, sugerimos: definição de um consenso sobre rastreamento; capacitação dos profissionais da rede básica para atendimento desta clientela; priorização de campanhas e trabalho coletivo com equipe multiprofissional; horário diferenciado para atendimento / Prostate cancer is the second most common type of tumor in men, behind only non-melanoma skin cancer. It is the second most common type of cancer in Brazil, being a serious public health problem. simple detection, many patients belatedly discover the disease, decreasing the chances of cure and survival. The objectives of the research were: to unveil some of the reasons for the diagnosis and late referral for a referral service; to analyze which regions referred patients later and to understand the therapeutic itinerary of these patients. It is a quantitative qualitative research, developed in two stages. A retrospective, descriptive and quantitative study of 1531 prostate cancer patients received at the Amaral Carvalho Hospital in 2015 and 2016 was carried out in the 1st stage. A second qualitative study was carried out with 100 interviews, with closed and open questions. Among the results it is highlighted that the majority of patients are over 50 years (97.77%), with a mean of 66 years. The age group from 70 to 79 years old had the highest number of deaths (3.66%) out of 141 (9.21%), being the highest rate of patients with stage IV (4.25%). 28,15% (431) of the patients arrived at an advanced stage, 131 of the DRS VI (Bauru), 85 of the DRS IX (Marília), 84 of the DRS XVI (Sorocaba), 52 of the DRS III (Araraquara) and the other cases in smaller numbers of the other DRS. In the second stage of the research, it was verified that of the 100 patients interviewed: 78 are married, 41 have 3 to 4 children, 50 have studied until the 4th year, 67 are already retired, 79 have sought SUS care. Of the subjects, 76 became white, 68 were non-smokers, and 56 patients reported having relatives with cancer. The most frequent family member was the father (21), and prostate cancer was the most prevalent. In addition, 70 patients reported having had preventive exams, 55 had symptoms, only 20 reported having difficulty in referral to the specialized service, and 43 waited less than one month for care at HAC. The research found that the cases of patients with more advanced stages (III and IV) totaled 24.85% in 2015 and 32.53% in 2016. The cultural values related to masculinity were the main reason for the late referral of these patients. The disorganization and lack of commitment of some basic health professionals have also been obstacles in accessing high complexity services. As a proposal to aid in the early detection of prostate cancer, we suggest: definition of consensus on screening; training of professionals in the basic network to serve this clientele; prioritization of campaigns and collective work with multiprofessional team; differentiated service hours.

O método utilizado foi a pesquisa qualitativa, fundamentada na Teoria das Representações Sociais. Participaram deste estudo, vinte e um homens cadastrados nas duas unidades que fizeram parte do estudo, com idades entre 23 e 58 anos. Para as entrevistas utilizou-se um roteiro semi-estruturado, contendo questões norteadoras, permitindo que os participantes se expressassem livremente. Para a organização e análise sistemática das representações elaboradas, utilizou-se como base o método de análise de conteúdo proposto por Bardin. As representações foram organizadas em quatro categorias de análise, sendo elas: A saúde na representação dos homens; A doença na representação dos homens; Representações dos homens sobre a maneira como se cuidam; Representações dos homens sobre a assistência e a resolutividade das questões de saúde na UAPS. As representações revelaram a saúde como algo indispensável e essencial para uma vida com qualidade, possibilitando a realização de todas as atividades cotidianas. Os participantes representaram a doença como uma patologia em si ou a falência de alguma parte do corpo, fazendo alusão ao modelo de assistência biologista. As representações revelam que os homens buscam ações como a auto-medicação, antes de buscar ajuda especializada. As representações revelam ainda que a resolutividade dos serviços é medida através do agendamento de consultas, encaminhamento para especialidades, distribuição de medicamentos e rapidez no atendimento. Sendo assim, são necessárias estratégias para integrar usuários e serviços, pensadas especificamente para esse público, reforçando o vínculo de confiança; repensar e reorganizar os serviços de saúde e a capacitação profissional para atuar na saúde do homem. Entendemos também que é necessário superar o modelo biomédico, estimulando a promoção da saúde e a prevenção de agravos. / This study aimed to identify and understand the social representations of men users in the primary health care units on the health / disease process; Analyzing the social representations of men users in the primary heath care units on the health / disease process and the way they care for themselves. The method used was the qualitative research, based on the Social Representations Theory. The study included twenty-one men registered in the units, corresponding to ten in the first unit and eleven in the second unit, aged between 23 and 58 years old. A semi-structured interviews were used, containing guiding questions, allowing participants to express themselves freely. For the organization and systematic analysis of elaborate representations, was used as basis, the method of content analysis proposed by Bardin. The representations were organized into four categories of analysis, namely: Health in the representation of men; The disease in the representation of men; Representations of men on how to care; Representations of men on assistance and solving health issues in the PHCU. Elaborate representations reveal health as something indispensable to life, essential for quality of life, making it possible to perform all daily activities. Participants represent the disease as a pathology itself or the failure of any part of the body, alluding to the biologist care model. The representations show that men seek actions as self-medication, before seeking expert help. The representations also reveal that the resoluteness of services is measured by scheduling appointments, referrals to specialties, drug distribution and speed in service. Therefore, it is necessary strategies for integrating user and services designed specifically for this audience, strengthening the bond of trust; rethink to reorganize health services and vocational training on man's health. We also understand that it is necessary to overcome the biomedical model stimulating health promotion and disease prevention

A população masculina apresenta altas taxas de mortalidade, principalmente nas idades mais precoces, além de sofrerem mais de condições graves e crônicas de saúde e adotarem mais comportamentos prejudiciais à saúde. Nesse contexto, é importante conhecer o perfil dessa população em relação à saúde, considerando-se sua condição socioeconômica e de que forma a estrutura social influencia sobre seu estado de saúde. O presente estudo tem por objetivo avaliar desigualdades sociais em saúde, segundo escolaridade, entre homens de 20 a 59 anos residentes no município de Campinas. Os dados foram coletados por meio do Inquérito Domiciliar de Saúde, um estudo transversal, de base populacional, com amostra por conglomerados em dois estágios, realizado no município de Campinas em 2008-2009. Dentre as variáveis incluídas neste estudo estão as sociodemográficas, as de comportamentos relacionados à saúde, as de estado de saúde e as de uso de serviços de saúde. A escolaridade, variável independente principal, foi categorizada em 0 a 8 anos de estudo e 9 ou mais anos de estudo. Para estimar as prevalências e as associações, foi utilizado o teste qui-quadrado, com nível de significância de 5% e, para obtenção das razões de prevalência (RP) e seus respectivos intervalos de confiança, foi feita a regressão de Poisson. Esta análise foi realizada por meio do software STATA versão 11, que considera as ponderações relativas ao desenho amostral / Abstract: For long time women have been the focus of health studies related to gender, while little research investigating the health conditions of men. The male population has high rates of mortality, especially in younger ages and suffer more severe and chronic conditions of health and adopting more unhealthy behaviors. In this context, it is important to know the profile of this population in relation to health, considering their socioeconomic and how social structure influences on their health. The present study aims to assess social inequalities in health, schooling, men 20 to 59 years living in the city of Campinas. Data were collected through the Household Health Survey, a cross-sectional study of populationbased cluster sampling in two stages, held in Campinas in 2008-2009. Among the variables included in this study are the demographic characteristics, the behaviors related to health, the health status and use of health services. Schooling, the main independent variable, was categorized as 0-8 years of study and nine or more years of study. To estimate the prevalence and associations, we used the chi-square test, with significance level of 5% and to obtain the prevalence ratios (PR) and their respective confidence intervals, was performed by Poisson regression. This analysis was performed using the STATA version 11, which considers the weights for the sample design / Mestrado / Epidemiologia / Mestre em Saude Coletiva

Background: A range of factors contribute to men with cancer having worse mortality and morbidity rates than women. The research specifically focused on psychosocial issues and health behaviours in men with cancer, and factors affecting help seeking behaviour. Methods: A mixed-methods study recruited adult men with cancer in the East of Scotland. The quantitative cross-sectional study explored psychosocial issues, health behaviours, and desire for support. Data from the Scottish Longitudinal Study were accessed to check sample representativeness. The qualitative study built on the preliminary findings of the quantitative study and used semi-structured interviews to explore factors affecting men's access to support. Inductive thematic analysis was undertaken. Results: 127 men with cancer completed the questionnaire. Being separated or divorced, younger and living in a high deprivation area was associated with poor psychosocial outcomes and some lifestyle behaviours. Social support was also influential. Twenty participants were interviewed. Appraisal of, and coping with, cancer in addition to biopsychosocial antecedents, the role of masculinity, and service contexts impacted on help seeking. The findings support a modified model of the transactional model of stress and coping relevant to men with cancer, which is new and original since it specifically incorporates the role of masculinity, highlights feedback from coping to appraisal, and recognises important service context factors that impact men's service access choices. Discussion: Legitimisation of help seeking and the use of emotion-focused coping styles were needed by some men, particularly where ideas about masculinity played a strong role in men's appraisal of, and coping with cancer. Implications for practice and policy relate to the survivorship agenda given the ongoing support men with cancer may need. Related to this, there is a need to carefully tailor and advertise services to men, and for health professionals to help legitimise the use of certain coping strategies and services.

M.A. / Chronic degenerative disease is responsible for a high percentage of deaths in industrialised westernised communities. These findings are not surprising if viewed in the light that most people consider physical activity not to be a priority in their daily activities. During the last decade, it would seem that employers have realised that the health status of an employee can have a direct influence on productivity, efficiency and absenteeism in the working environment. In an attempt to lower health-related costs, reduce absenteeism and improve productivity, some employers have started implementing a variation of total wellbeing and workers’ support programmes as part of their employee assistance programmes. A pressing question is, however, how effective these wellness programmes are. In order to evaluate the effect of such a programme, the present study used a sample of 76 employees in middle- to top management at a big corporate company. During 2002, tests were performed on twelve CAD risk factors, after which an intervention programme was introduced. Twelve months later (2003), the first intermediate test was conducted, using the same protocol. The second intermediate test followed in 2004, duplicating the procedures. The post-test and data analysing were conducted four years after the first evaluations. Subjects were monitored for changes in: total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDLcholesterol, triglycerides, TC/HDL ratio, LDL/HDL ratio, fasting blood glucose, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, body mass index, waist-to-hipratio and waist circumference. The Repeated Measures General Linear Model Test was used to determine significance (P ≤ 0.05) from pre- to post-test. A novel CAD risk score was also iv developed from peer-reviewed literature by considering each of the 12 CAD risk factors measured. The results demonstrated that the wellness programme decreased CAD risk by 26% amongst the 76 participants in this study. The TC, LDL-C, LDL/HDL-C ratio, TC/HDL-C ratio, fasting blood glucose, resting systolic blood pressure, resting diastolic blood pressure and waist-to-hip ratio improved significantly, while triglycerides showed a non-significant improvement. The three CAD risk factors that deteriorated significantly during the study period were high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, BMI and waist circumference. The major finding of this investigation thus suggests that a corporate wellness programme has long-term beneficial effects on CAD risk and that the reduction in CAD risk is mainly attributed to the beneficial effects of regular exercise.
