Male health care analysis
Introduction
Care itself, as a historical concept that involves the conception and the referent on itself and, to that extent, on the others. In such honesty, the care of itself refers to the importance of involving groups as active subjects in the decision making about their health, to the question about their attitude towards life, in front of what theyRoda, to all those matters that somehow have connection with their existence in a past, present and future time, in a space that is not only physical but also social, because this has a symbolic value to the extent that it is the resultof the interactions of human beings, with particular historical features.
Care exists from the beginning of life, since the human being as all living beings has always had that need to be careful, which has led to taking care of is a life act, which will allow it to maintain.
Developing
People need attention from being born until they die, therefore, taking care of is crucial for life and for the perpetuity of the social group. The phenomenon of population aging, demographic, epidemiological transition processes and the increase in world longevity, have an impact on the request for care and modify health demand, promote social, economic disadvantages;Factor to which an improvement in the quality of life should be added, specifically, because it relates the increase in the dependency index of physical, mental health and the reduction in expected years of active and healthy life, as well as a growing increase in diseaseschronicles more than acute, and rather progressive than regressive.
There is no doubt that in society the family is the main source of health care, it is one of the oldest and most strongto each of its members;where one of them assumes the role of caregiver/or, in case of disability or limitation. The social, educational, labor and power of the family has been decisive in the perpetuation of the role of caregiver assumed by the woman, mostly as a wife, daughter or mother;role assigned from the sexual division of labor whose organization is focused on gender differences;Reproductive role of women based on relationships of affection and domestic activities, within the family structure and productive role in men and hegemonic in family economic dynamics.
It is known as informal care for the care that are provided by family, friends, neighbors or other people inside the home in a private world, elderly, sick and dependent people;based on emotional relationships, kinship family and gender issues, features that characterize and affect their visibility and social recognition. Therefore, it has not been registered as a paid work without price in the market, which is confused with a lack of value, without known time limits. The economic contribution of women has been underestimated, cultural collective consciousness establishes the linkage of care to something maternal, associating it with reproductive role. Which means that it should be given as something natural, this invisibility of the female gender makes it difficult to recognize informal care and change towards a new paradigm.
The care of itself is articulated from three points of view: on the one hand, a general attitude, an idea of the world that causes a way of relating to others;On the other hand, a look outside, but with a return to the interiority itself, which implies paying attention to what happens in thought and, finally, a series of actions that exercise themselves to transform, to modify. The notion of care of itself is constituted not only by the relationship we create with the body, but also with the others and with our environment.
In such a way that it is structured on three lines of evolution which are updated as a practice of oneself. These are: dietary, that is, the relationship between the care and the general regime of the existence of the body and the soul;The economy, which refers to the relationship between the care of oneself and psychology, social activity, and erotic, which consists in the relationship between self-care and love relationship. These three extensions become scenarios of application and correlation of oneself and are renewed in the social and cultural context, which gives the concept a historical character, that is, it places it in specific space and time.
conclusion
The news about the care of itself in the field of health, takes a lot of depth at the time of the conception of this as a social construction, which enables the development of a relational attitude. Indication is indicated to the forms of interaction that human beings have with their body, with their surroundings and with others in the social sphere, conditioned by possible events of courses of action, behaviors, daily activities and social practices linked tohealth. The care of itself in male health, as in female, is transversalized by social elements that limit their real scope, even more so if gender appropriations that have survived in our daily lives are considered. Mention is made to violence such as the adoption of risk behaviors, to collaboration in extreme sports, such as some of the practices that are at the base of male overmortality rates.
By virtue of these experiences, the male expression has filed as a risk factor, to refer to the impediments that social learning about the health care of men and that of those around them. To understand the logic of internal health care functioning, it operates as a condition to privilege the forms of subjectivation and symbolic codes through which men assimilate their world and their cultural context, which involves economic, social, political and normative orders, that regulate their way of being and, in short, its generic identity.
