Introduction:
The self-perception of health and quality of life in men subjected to radical prostatectomy can be influenced by the Social Determinants of Health (SDHs); therefore, exploring this relationship contributes to the development of health care measures.
Objective:

Method:
A cross-sectional study with quantitative analysis, which had men subjected to radical prostatectomy as participants, interviewed using instruments to characterize the SDHs, Quality of Life (QoL) and self-perceived health. The data were analyzed using descriptive and correlational statistics. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee.
Results:
The participants were 33 men with a mean age of 66.8 years old, mostly white-skinned, with a spouse, professing some religion and with complete or incomplete Elementary School. They presented preserved levels of QoL and self-perception of health. Self-perceived health was associated with religion and with owning a house; QoL was associated with religion, type of surgical approach, marital status, having someone in the family with prostate cancer and schooling.
Conclusion:
