Abstract
Objective: To know the perceptions of teachers and students of Nutrition about the nurse. Method: A qualitative study based on the Theory of Social Representations. Sample: four teachers from the level, five beginner students and five students near graduation from the Course Degree in Nutrition at the University of Vale do Paraiba Paulista. The instrument used for data collection was the semi -structured interview based on the general question: What is your perception of nurses in the context of health? The data obtained was holistically analyzed. Results: from the analysis of the content, three categories emerged: nurse’s area of operation, humanized care, role of nurses in the health team. Conclusion: The nurses were perceived by teachers and students of nutrition as important actors in care since they work directly with the patient, especially under a humanized attention. Moreover, they were perceived as professionals who link their actions in working together with the doctor. However, the study participants perceived lack of clarity of their role and fields of action in the context of health.
