Questions

1. "Both the stigma of men's mental illness and perceptions of masculinity are alive and negatively affect men's health and well-being".

Outline some measures you would propose in nursing practice, education, research, and health/public policy to improve such perception?

3. Male sexual assault has historically been shrouded in secrecy and stigma. Our culture values invulnerability and denial of pain as essential qualities of "manliness". Guys simply are not allowed to admit that they have been sexually assaulted and abused. As a group, male survivors report a lack of recovery services and support...... Our law enforcement and justice systems are often ill-equipped to deal with this type of crime when it's committed against men. Because so few people realize that large numbers of males are sexually abused and assaulted, male survivors are an almost forgotten category of victims".

4. Reflect on this statement, how does this statement make you feel or think? What are some nursing interventions you would propose to change such adversity? Suicide in men has been described as a "silent epidemic", epidemic because of its high incidence and substantial contribution to men's mortality, and silent because of a lack of public awareness, a paucity of explanatory research, and the reluctance of men to seek help for suicide-related concerns. Reflect and explain this notion, provide some interventions and health promotion strategies to inflect a change about this negative outcome?

5. As nurses, what can we do to increase awareness of this silent epidemic? Societal expectations, hegemonic masculinity, and the media encourage men to become risk-takers. Discuss this statement with examples? What are the consequences of such expectations on men's health and well-being?

6. What are some nursing interventions and implications to reduce complications of risky behaviors in men? Propose some implications in nursing education, practice, research, and health/public policy. Please list out the 4 most common digestive problems experienced by men.
