Objetivo: analisar construção das masculinidades e o cuidado tradicional da saúde de homens indígenas brasileiros na pandemia e pós-pandemia da COVID-19. Métodos: estudo qualitativo, longitudinal, realizado na web, on-line. Aplicou-se um formulário estruturado em 2020 e 2023, nas cinco regiões do Brasil, com 89 homens indígenas. Empregou-se a Análise de Conteúdo Temática, o referencial da Teoria Transcultural e das epidemiologias indígenas. Resultados: cinco categorias analíticas foram geradas: 1. Percebendo-se enquanto homem – tensões do cotidiano pandêmico; expressando as construções de masculinidades – entre encontros e desencontros; 3. Vivenciando a pandemia – quando as masculinidades implicam o cuidado à saúde; construindo trânsitos e itinerários terapêuticos de cuidado saúde – entre aplicar e preservar saberes tradicionais e aderir o conhecimento científico na busca por integralidade e 5. Exercitando o cuidado em saúde – do enfrentamento das iniquidades à promoção do cuidado tradicional indígena. Conclusão: a construção das masculinidades na relação com o cuidado tradicional de saúde tem sido ressignificada pelos homens indígenas, revendo atributos, comportamentos e práticas do que se espera por ser homem.

Abstract:
Objective: To analyze the construction of masculinities and traditional health care for Brazilian indigenous men in the COVID-19 pandemic and post-pandemic. Methods: Qualitative, longitudinal study, carried out on the web, online. A structured form was applied in 2020 and 2023, in the five regions of Brazil, with 89 indigenous men. Thematic Content Analysis was used, the framework of Transcultural Theory and indigenous epidemologies. Results: Five analytical categories were generated: 1. Perceiving oneself as a man - daily pandemic tensions; Expressing the constructions of masculinities - between encounters and disagreements; 3. Experiencing the pandemic - when masculinities imply health care; Building transits and therapeutic itineraries of health care - between applying and preserving traditional knowledge and adhering to scientific knowledge in the search for comprehensiveness and 5. Exercising health care - from confronting inequities to promoting traditional indigenous care. Conclusion: The construction of masculinities in relation to traditional health care has been given new meaning by indigenous men, reviewing attributes, behaviors and practices of what is expected from being a man.
