Objective: analyze social representations in the life trajectory of artisanal fi shermen with spinal cord injury caused by diving on the north coast of Rio Grande do Norte. Method: a descriptive, qualitative study was conducted with 31 fi shermen between October 2013 and August 2014, using a semi-structured interview. A lexicographic analysis and descending hierarchical classifi cation of texts were performed (with software ALCESTE), in the perspective of the social representations. Results: social representations of fi shermen with spinal cord injury presented experiences with physical limitations and expectations regarding retirement, which appeared as a distant reality from the requirements in Brazilian labor laws. Conclusion: measures are required for the promotion, prevention and rehabilitation of the health of fi shermen with spinal cord injury, as well as safe and decent fi shing conditions, with the commitment of health authorities.

“…This generates reflections and action proposals in the therapeutic and health education fields (Carvalho et al. ; Ferreira ), in addition to an increased understanding of the health‐disease process as a psychosocial phenomenon (Moura & Shimizu ). This theory was applied in this study in order to gain knowledge of and examine situations of vulnerability among young women to HPV, according to their social representations, that is, based on their knowledge and daily practices.…”

Aim To examine situations of vulnerability to human papillomavirus in the social representations of young women. Background Human papillomavirus is one of the most frequent sexually transmitted infections among women and constitutes a serious health problem among youth. This problem is embedded in psychosocial issues that promote situations of vulnerability and affect attitudes and behaviour in relation to prevention. Methods Qualitative study based on the theory of social representations, conducted among 64 female students in a high school in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The study used personal semi‐structured interviews, with a lexical analysis by Alceste 2010 software. Findings The inefficacy of information on the human papillomavirus pointed out individual and social vulnerabilities, and showed relationships between the difficulty of access and the perception of low quality in public health services, which also promotes institutional vulnerability. Discussion The representation of vulnerability to human papillomavirus infection is associated, not only with individual behaviours related to sexuality and gender identity but also to social and institutional conditions involving insufficient information and low quality of and ineffective access to public health services. Conclusion Situations of vulnerability of young women to human papillomavirus infection influence ways of thinking and acting, when they generate feelings and behaviours that put them at risk. The social representations provided knowledge about how the participants appropriated consensual and reified universes in relation to vulnerability, influencing care and awareness of prevention. Implication for nursing and health policy Situations of vulnerability, whether individual, social or institutional, warrant the attention of nurses and should be prioritized as public health policy goals to reduce the number of cases of human papillomavirus infection among younger women.

“…This is a cross-sectional, qualitative study of a single descriptive case study which adopted the Theory of Social Representations as theoretical reference in order to capture the symbolic reality constructed by the residents, based on the capacity of this theory to mobilize reality by generating and guiding behaviors and attitudes (6)(7) . Applying the Theory of Social Representations enables a union between subject and object, thought and action, reason and emotion, individual and collective, and offers innumerable possibilities for not only understanding the actions of the subjects, but the meanings attributed by them to these actions, considering the contexts in which they are inserted and justifying the individuals' options in facing the realities to which they are presented (7)(8)(9) .…”

Objective: To evaluate the social representations of residents regarding the pedagogical strategies of a Multiprofessional Health Residency program. Method: A case study with a qualitative approach supported by the Theory of Social Representations. Data collection was performed by applying a questionnaire to the resident professionals. ALCESTE software was used for the lexical content analysis. Results: Questionnaires were applied to 15 resident professionals. The analysis showed the educational potential of a Distance Education tool, the need to prioritize theoretical content and its planning, aligning it with the experience in the territory, and the preference of the subjects for dynamic spaces that favor communication and critical-reflective analysis of day-to-day routines. Conclusion: There is a need to value strategies and teaching-learning methodologies that are significant for the resident professional and which contribute to health education.
