Abstract

The male population is more prone to disease due to its greater exposure to risk factors. Some diseases are particularly important in this population, such as prostate and colorectal cancer. The objective of this study was to report the experience of a health education action on men's health with a focus on prostate and colorectal cancer, in the context of Primary Care. A health education action was carried out with an approach to the prevention of prostate and colorectal cancer in the waiting room of a Family Health Unit (FHU). The strategies used were: lecture, dynamics of myths and truths, and the distribution of educational leaflets along with a gift. The low initial participation in the first intervention by male patients demonstrates that men's health education presents challenges. The improvement in participation, in a second moment, demonstrated the importance of using different strategies and interactive resources. In addition, attention should be paid to the limitations of the use of leaflets and booklets. The waiting room, when used appropriately, can be a powerful tool for education and health promotion.
