Competencies of nurses for the promotion of men’s health

Abstract

Descriptive study with nurses in primary health care in Brazil, which aimed to identify the core competencies for the promotion of men’s health, according to the Galway Consensus.We demonstrated that nursing interventions involve the domains of competencies for catalyzing changes, in the assessment of needs and implementation. The competencies identified here concern the mobilization of the community to expand the supply of primary health care to the male population and the provision of services that cover topics about men’s health.
