Abstract
Introdução: Homens tendem a retardar a procura por serviços de saúde e têm baixa adesão a tratamentos, causando piores indicadores de saúde. Objetivou-se analisar a influência de fatores psicológicos e sociais nos comportamentos preventivos de saúde adotados por homens. Métodos: Utilizaram-se um questionário sociodemográfico, o Inventário de Conformidade com Normas Masculinas (CMNI), o Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ) e o Questionário de Atitudes e Comportamentos de Saúde (QACS). Participaram da análise 315 homens adultos de todo o Brasil. Resultados: Uma regressão linear revelou que eram preditores de menor prevenção: pontuar alto em traços que indicavam desejo por admiração e respeito e comportamentos sexuais arriscados, bem como a maior probabilidade de presença de transtorno mental, ter cor de pele preta e menor nível educacional. Discussão: Foram mapeados fatores de risco para a menor conduta preventiva em homens. Conclusão: Conclui-se que variáveis psicológicas e sociais exercem forte influência sobre os comportamentos de saúde dos homens, sendo necessárias ações de promoção da saúde masculina para além das políticas públicas existentes, na busca pela elaboração de novas ações focadas neste grupo e temática específicos.

Social Networks, Health Information Sharing, and Pandemic Perceptions among Young Adults in Hawai'i during the COVID-19 Pandemic. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:16833. [PMID: 36554713 PMCID: PMC9779529 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph192416833] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2022] [Revised: 12/06/2022] [Accepted: 12/10/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Limited information exists about social network variation and health information sharing during COVID-19, especially for Native Hawaiians (NH), Other Pacific Islanders (OPI), and Filipinos, who experienced COVID-19 inequities. Hawai'i residents aged 18-35 completed an online survey regarding social media sources of COVID-19 information and social network health information measured by how many people participants: (1) talked to and (2) listened to about health. Regression models were fit with age, gender, race/ethnicity, chronic disease status, pandemic perceptions, and health literacy as predictors of information sources (logistic) and social network size (Poisson). Respondents were 68% female; 41% NH, OPI, or Filipino; and 73% conducted a recent COVID-19 digital search for themselves or others. Respondents listened to others or discussed their own health with ~2-3 people. Respondents who talked with more people about their health were more likely to have larger networks for listening to others. In regression models, those who perceived greater risk of acquiring COVID-19 discussed their health with more people; in discussing others' health, women and those with chronic diseases listened to a greater number. Understanding young adults' social networks and information sources is important for health literacy and designing effective health communications, especially to reach populations experiencing health inequities.
