Abstract

Objectives: To analyze the social representations of nursing professionals facing the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: Exploratory, qualitative study. Outlined by the Theory of Social Representations. Data collection took place through an online questionnaire. The collection took place between October 16, 2020 and January 19, 2021. Data analysis was performed using the OpenEvoc 0.86 software, to obtain the average frequency and the average order of evocation, structuring the four-place table. Results: The central cores of the social representation express a strong dimension about the condition of lethally and care, while the peripheries express the emotions and emotional issues of professionals. Conclusion: They point to an agreement of common sense knowledge with the scientific community and the media. This is due to the continuous and up-to-date contextualization of information about COVID-19.
