C46 | Tereso, A. Oral Communication Abstract Introduction Te social representations about sexual health appear as diferent forms of social knowle- dge, when shared and developed, contributing to the construction of a common reality for a social set. Te meaning about what is understood as sexual health shapes the actions and the practi- ces of those who are most confronted with this reality. When we talk about social representations in sexual health, we are talking about a complex subject that is product of the interactions and understanding processes of social groups (health professionals, in this case nurses, and men themselves and the relationship between them). Objective To analyze nurses’ narratives about men’s sexual health. Method Tis is a descriptive study of qualitative approach, with data collection through an online focus group with 9 primary and diferentiated health care nurses. Te study obtained the approval from the Ethics Committee of ESEL, well as the informed consent from all par- ticipants. Data analysis was performed using the IRaMuTeQ-R interface software, using lexicographic analysis (hierarchical descent classifcation [CHD] and similarity analysis [AS]). Results and Discussion Te CHD had a retention of 84.86% of the text corpus and from the analysis of the nurses’ narratives. Four classes were emerged: entitled interaction between professionals and men, therapeutic itineraries, men’s access to sexual health care and nurses’ social representations of sexual health. Te last class represents 30.1% of the textual data and 81 text segments, outstanding words such as will, subject and talk, and all of them with X 2 ranging from 15.99 to 40.21. Conclusions and Implications for Future Research Te nurses’ narratives translate social representations that denounce women as privileged in matters such as health care, in which men are excluded. Te concept of sexual health is strongly marked by social dynamics based on beliefs and taboos, which condition men’s access to care and nurses’ intervention. Te training of health professionals in and for men’s sexual health emerges from the nurses’ discourse as an essential area of investment, involving men and aiming at the deconstruc- tion of myths and stereotypes associated with sexuality.
