Opis

Though accessible in style, this book is not an easy read. Chapters brim with information and analysis. A lesser author could have written an entire book from the information Robertson squeezes into a single chapter. So insightful is his analysis that he leaves the mind racing with thoughts and ideas.

Mens health texts are hard to find - delighted this text addresses issues like access to health services.

How do men understand â€?healthâ€™?
What do men consider to be the role of health services in helping them stay well?
What inhibits or facilitates menâ€™s engagement with health services?

Notions about menâ€™s health are wide ranging and much is said about the role masculinity plays in creating health outcomes for men. Based on empirical research and data, this book provides an interdisciplinary exploration of the links between men, health policy, gender and masculinity. It also offers explicit guidance for practice for those working in the health field looking to better understand and improve menâ€™s health.

Importantly the book::

Incorporates the views of disabled and gay men to highlight issues of diversity
Draws out key implications for health promotion work with men
Includes â€?key points for practiceâ€™ within each chapter

The book uses interviews with men and health professionals, to explore the key aspects of menâ€™s health and healthcare delivery. Although set within the UK context, it also has wider resonance as it considers how men conceptualize health, how this becomes embodied, the importance of relationships and emotions in menâ€™s preventative health practices, and the socially contingent nature of menâ€™s engagement with preventative health care services.

Understanding Men and Health will be of particular interest to academics, students and researchers in nursing, health, sociology and gender studies as well as to pre- registration and post-registration health professionals with an interest in men and health.
