Objectives:
to analyze the social representation of nurses among nursing students.
Methods:
a qualitative study, based on the structural approach of the Social Representation Theory. Participants were 114 nursing students from a public university in Rio de Janeiro. Data collection used the free word association technique, analyzed with the support of the EVOC® software.
Results:
the likely central core of the representation was composed of the terms "care", "empathy", and "health". The prominent peripheral elements were "love", "knowledge", "devaluation", and "tiredness". The contrast zone presented the terms "responsibility", "assistance", and "dedication", reinforcing the terms of the central core.
Final Considerations:
the social representation of nurses is strongly structured around care, linked to empathy, knowledge, and ethical responsibility. Although permeated by affection and commitment, images related to devaluation and overload emerged, revealing tensions between the idealized training and the reality of the profession.
