Resumo

Objective: To analyze men’s concepts and perceptions about quality of life. Methods: A descriptive and exploratory qualitative study in which we interviewed male dwellers assisted by the Family Health Strategy in a health center in the municipality of Marília, São Paulo state, integrated to the “Programa de Educação pelo Trabalho para a Saúde (PET-Saúde)”. The Collective Subject Discourse construction technique was applied guided by the following questions: “What is quality of life?” and “How is your quality of life?” Results: The discourses analyzed showed that most men do not understand the broad sense of the quality of life concept, substantiating it predominantly in its biological dimensions. Conclusion: Men’s health policy is an important strategy for health promotion; however, it requires agility and creativity by primary healthcare staff to deal with men’s uniqueness and vulnerabilities.
