RESUMEN
RESUMEN La presente investigación surge a partir de identificar la dificultad para incluir las experiencias y necesidades de los varones adolescentes en el diseño de los modelos clínicos dirigidos a esa franja etaria y etapa vital. Por tal motivo, se decidió indagar la dimensión subjetiva de género en las prácticas que el sector salud dirige a la prevención y atención de la salud de los varones adolescentes, con el objetivo de visibilizar si estas se convierten en barreras para el avance en este campo. Para ello, se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a 21 profesionales de distintas disciplinas integrantes de equipos de salud y a 14 varones adolescentes usuarios del sistema de salud de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires; además se implementaron dispositivos grupales de indagación a adolescentes varones estudiantes de escuela secundaria, y se realizaron entrevistas en profundidad a informantes claves. Se ha identificado que las propias dinámicas institucionales no responden de modo adecuado a los riesgos que enfrentan los varones adolescentes -dentro de los cuales las construcciones hegemónicas de género cumplen un importante papel- ya que están ancladas en paradigmas biopolíticos de exclusión.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT This study is based on our previous work, in which we found evidence of the difficulties in including the experiences and needs of adolescent males in the design of clinical models aimed at that age group. We identified a need to explore the subjective dimension of gender in the practices of the healthcare sector directed at adolescent males, in order to determine if they constituted barriers to advancement in this field. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 21 professionals from different disciplines who made up healthcare teams, as well as 14 adolescent males using healthcare services in the City of Buenos Aires. Additionally, group techniques were employed with adolescent male secondary school students, and in-depth interviews were conducted with key informants. We were able to determine that institutional dynamics do not adequately respond to the risks faced by adolescent males - for whom hegemonic constructions of gender play an important role - given that they are based on exclusionary biopolitical paradigms.
