Participação masculina no planejamento familiar e seus fatores intervenientes

Doi: 10.5902/217976929998 Aims: to identify the forms of male participation in the family planning process, as well as the factors involved in their participation, to comprehend the men's knowledge about the method used by the couple and to describe how the process of negotiation happens when choosing the method. Method: exploratory research with qualitative approach carried out with 16 men. We used a form and semi-structured interview as instruments for data collection, which were organized by the Discourse of the Collective Subject Method. Results: the men participated in family planning as logistical support to their partners. The responsibility on contraception was women's, due to limited time availability of partners. They knew about condoms and oral contraceptive hormones, however discussed little about trading the use of contraception. Final remarks: family planning still happens unilaterally and guided by the gender hierarchy that imposes upon women the burden of symbolic and physical responsibility of contraception.Objetivos: identificar las formas de participación masculina en el proceso de planificación familiar, los factores que intervienen, conocer los saberes masculinos acerca del método utilizado por la pareja y describir cómo funciona el proceso de negociación en la elección del método. Método: investigación exploratoria, cualitativa, con 16 hombres. Se utilizó formulario y entrevista semi-estructurada, siendo los datos organizados por el método del Discurso del Sujeto Colectivo. Resultados: los hombres participaron en la planificación familiar, por el apoyo logístico a sus compañeras. La responsabilidad de la anticoncepción era femenina, debido a la escasa disponibilidad de tiempo de los compañeros. Ellos conocían los preservativos y anticonceptivos orales hormonales, sin embargo, poco dialogaron sobre la negoción del uso de anticonceptivos. Observaciones finales: la planificación familiar aun ocurre de manera unilateral, basada en la jerarquía de género que impone a las mujeres la responsabilidad, simbólica y corporal, de la anticoncepción.Doi: 10.5902/217976929998Objetivo: identificar as formas de participação masculina no processo de planejamento familiar, bem como os fatores intervenientes nessa participação, conhecer os saberes masculinos acerca do método utilizado pelo casal e descrever como acontece o processo de negociação na escolha do método.

A responsabilidade sobre a contracepção era feminina, devido a pouca disponibilidade de tempo dos parceiros. Estes conheciam a camisinha e o contraceptivo oral hormonal, contudo pouco dialogavam sobre a negociação do uso do método contraceptivo. Considerações finais: o planejamento familiar, ainda, ocorre de forma unilateral e pautado na hierarquia de gênero, que impõe sobre as mulheres o encargo da responsabilidade, simbólica e corporal, de contracepção

The initial evaluation of the material occurred through the reading of the abstracts, in order to select those that met the objectives of the study, with this, 37 articles were selected. In carrying out the research it was possible to verify that the recognition of sepsis by nursing professionals is mainly identified through the changes in the signs and symptoms that are observed through the provision of care to these critical patients. RESULTS: It has been shown that even with all the advances in the production of knowledge about the pathophysiology and the treatment of sepsis, it is still possible to find several difficulties for the proper handling in the diagnosis and in the ideal treatment for each particular case.
