Nursing and men's health movement: considerations for the 21st century.
Men's health is a holistic, comprehensive approach that addresses the physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual life experiences and health needs of men throughout their lifespan. The men's health movement consists of various movements that are melding into a central focus on men's health and well being. Current health policy is attempting to establish an Office of Men's Health. A men's health nurse practitioner role is proposed for development.
