ABSTRACT.
Treated
as a study desenvolved with
the objective of understanding the power relations
in the heterosexual couple from the male perspective including his
relation with the prevention of aids. Therefore ten men with heterosexual
orientation, that have sexual-afective relations lasting, legally constituited
or not- in co – habitation with a companion and whom at least has the same
level of instruction, took part in the study.
The proposition of Foucault about power relations and the constitution of
the subjectivity form the bases of philosophical theory that support the
qualitative study, which uses convergent-assistential-research-CAR- as a
methodological reference.The datas were collected through group discussions,
desenvolved between six meetings , in which diverse theme relacioned with
sexuality and STD/aids were treated .The groups meetings initiate the health
education that propel the convergence between the research and the preconcide
assistant by CAR. Apart from this meetings datas were collected during
two individual interviews realized in each one of the men which guide include
themes related with living as a couple and the afective-sexual life of the man
and the couple. The analysis of the data was done in accordance with the
collective speech person-CSP, which profer organisation of speech from greater
themes, that emerges group discussions and told individually in which they
maintain strong connections with the question and with objectives of the study.
This themes include what it is to be a man, the afective-sexual life of the
couple, and the use of protection, and in each one of them, a CSP was organized
aroud the different central ideas, in wich they complement one another.
The discussion of CSP related to this theme facilitate the better
understanding of problems in study and shows the evidence of the existence of
different dynamics the circulation of power in the relations
of the couple, in which has direct implications in the health education
work for prevention of the STD/aids. The
comprehension of this dynamics subsidize the proposition of a theorical
reference in the use of health education – focal of nursing caring – for the
prevention of STD/aids. In these reference, articulation of the idea of health
promotions, health education, dialogue, heterosexual couple, health and taking
care of yourself, the prepast relations thr power that it dissimulate as a
social body.
