COELHO DE BRITTO, Sabrina Maria et al. SOCIAL REPRESENTATION OF NURSES ON PALLIATIVE CARE. Rev Cuid [online]. 2015, vol.6, n.2, pp.1062-1069. ISSN 2216-0973. https://doi.org/10.15649/cuidarte.v6i2.170.
Introduction: This study refers to a research process for the social representation of nurses on palliative care. Objectives: To identify the structure of the social representations of nurses on palliative care; discuss the implications of these representations in the daily care practices. Material and Methods: for this study were approached 70 nurses who work in the wards of a Clinical Medicine service. The data collection technique was the free recall. For this study, the inductive term was palliative care, and were requested to association five words to the study subjects. The material was then processed with the software Ensemble de programmes permettant l’analyse dês evocations (EVOC). Results and Discussion: The central system is homogeneous, has a strong negative content and provides stability representation. On the other hand, the presence of positive elements in the peripheral system as affection, comfort, dedication and humanization reinforce the flexible character of representation. It is noteworthy that the likely central core is not very sensitive to the immediate context, which means affirming that even the most utopian of palliative care sectors were opened at this time, the central core of the representation of palliative care for nurses would not immediately change. Conclusions: Despite the palliative care and its technologies are increasingly present in the hospital routine and therefore being target of ongoing debates in the vehicles of communication, their social representation, elaborated by this group of nurses continue to have strong negative content.
