0169/2021 - MASCULINIDADE E SOFRIMENTO MENTAL: DO CUIDADO SINGULAR AO ENFRENTAMENTO DO MACHISMO? MASCULINITY AND MENTAL DISTRESS: FROM PERSONAL CARE TO FIGHT AGAINST MALE SEXISM ?
Os problemas de saúde mental têm grande relevância sanitária internacional. De natureza multifatorial, tais condições de saúde, aqui consideradas como sofrimentos, são influenciadas, inclusive, por elementos sociais, como a construção da masculinidade, em que pese as críticas e lutas cada vez mais evidentes contra o machismo. Diante deste cenário, este artigo aborda o sofrimento mental masculino e seu cuidado, a partir de uma revisão da literatura, tendo como base a BVS e considerando o período de 2010 a 2020. Foram selecionados 22 artigos. Os resultados do estudo foram organizados em torno das categorias: Características / Particularidades do sofrimento mental de homens; Acesso / Modo de procura por ajuda de homens em sofrimento e Abordagem / Cuidado de homens em sofrimento mental. Conclui-se haver necessidade de mais visibilidade para a relação entre masculinidade e sofrimento mental e suas especificidades no âmbito do cuidado, considerando a existência de uma aparente crise silenciosa, o direito dos homens (enquanto pessoas) ao cuidado bem como a possível contribuição, ainda que indireta e modesta, da abordagem do sofrimento dos homens para a luta contra o machismo.

Abstract:
Mental health problems have great international sanitary relevance. From a multifactorial nature, these health conditions considered here as suffering are influenced by social elements such as the construction of masculinity, at which the evident increasing criticisms and struggles against male sexism have a weight. Given this scenario, the article addresses male mental suffering and its care, based on a literature review, according to BVS research and considering the period2010 to 2020. From the research 22 articles were ed. The results of the study were organized into these categories: Characteristics / Particularities of men\'s mental suffering; Access / Help seeking behaviormen in distress and approach / Care of men in mental distress. It is concluded that there is a need for more visibility for the relationship between masculinity and suffering to their specificities, considering the need and the right of men (as people) for a care, as well as the contribution, even if it is in an indirect way, to the approach of men\'s suffering against male sexism.
