- Efeitos de intervenção psicoeducativa sobre a utilização de serviços de saúde por homens idosos Lilian Maria Borges Eliane Maria Fleury Seidl Salud Aged Masculinity Men’s health Psychoeducational group This study investigated the effects of a psychoeducational intervention for strengthening self-care among elderly men, with emphasis on seeking and using healthcare services. Thirteen retired married men aged between 62 and 78 years (M = 69.5) participated. The interventions occurred at nine thematic meetings that included dialogue-based presentation and group dynamics. Data were obtained before and after the group sessions, through individual interviews based on a questionnaire that had been developed for investigating self-care behavior and associated factors. The possible effects from the interventions were seen to be greater readiness among the participants to attend consultations and medical examinations. However, the intervention was most beneficial in terms of awareness-raising and maintenance, rather than in relation to changes to healthcare behavior. The need for further investigations focused on the interrelationship between gender, aging and health was emphasized. 2013 artículo científico 1414-3283 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=180129748003 pt http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=1801 Interface - Comunicação, Saúde, Educação application/pdf Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho Interface - Comunicação, Saúde, Educação (Brasil) Num.47 Vol.17
