| Description: | The aim of this research was to understand the performance of Family Health Teams on early detection of prostate cancer. It is a qualitative research conducted with 10 health professionals, including doctors, nurses, nursing technicians and community health agents, from two Family Health Units of Jaguaquara, Bahia, Brazil. For data collection we apply a semi-structured interview guided by a script containing five questions inherent to the theme. The information produced was submitted to Bardin's content analysis technique, which originated three thematic categories. It is noteworthy that the project was approved by the Research Ethics Committee, under opinion no. 1,644,785. Between the results we obtained: actions to promote early detection of prostate cancer; importance of early diagnosis; factors that hinder early detection of prostate cancer. It is concluded that given the existing problem regarding the demand for health services by the male public, professionals need to be prepared and trained so that health programs can meet their objectives of effective promotion and prevention. |
