The aim of this study was to identify prevalence and factors associated with use of public health services by adult males residing in the city of Maringá, Paraná. A household survey was carried out with 410 men aged 20 to 59 years old. Analysis was performed by means of descriptive statistics and multiple logistic regression models. The prevalence of use of public services stood at 56.3%. Men who used public health services most often were those with little education, no health plan, no partner, unemployed, who had more contact with nurses and other professionals, sought the services due to disease/symptoms/emergency, had difficulties with the service, rated health services as regular and chose attention and promptness as the most important aspects of health services - variables adjusted for family income, economic class and need for treatment. Men's health care should be reorganized according to factors linked to the use of health services by them, with the promotion of greater contact between health services and men and the centering of assistance on users, expanding men's participation in promotional and preventive practices.
本研究的目的是确定居住在巴拉那州马林加市的成年男性使用公共卫生服务的患病率及相关因素。对410名年龄在20至59岁的男性进行了一项家庭调查。通过描述性统计和多元逻辑回归模型进行分析。公共服务的使用率为56.3%。最常使用公共卫生服务的男性是那些受教育程度低、没有健康计划、没有伴侣、失业、与护士和其他专业人员接触较多、因疾病/症状/紧急情况寻求服务、对服务有困难、将卫生服务评为一般且选择关注和及时性作为卫生服务最重要方面的人——这些变量已根据家庭收入、经济阶层和治疗需求进行了调整。应根据与男性使用卫生服务相关的因素对男性医疗保健进行重组，促进卫生服务与男性之间更多的接触，并将援助集中于用户，扩大男性参与促进性和预防性实践。
