abstract = {Te aim of this study is to explore children’s depictions of nursing professionals, identifying shared and diferential visual
and symbolic elements as a function of gender, the period during which the drawing was made (pre-/postpandemic) and whether
or not one has a relative who works in the same profession.
: Drawing circumnavigates the limits imposed by literacy and gives a voice to children who are able to express their
personal feelings and subconscious through the drawn object. Teories of social representations and identity strive to explore the
way in which children perceive and value the role of nurses in society.
With the question, ‘what is nursing to you?’ providing the foundation, qualitative visual analysis was performed based
on bottom-up inductive logic, analysing 105 drawings through the software CAQDAS Atlas-ti.
Nine categories emerged that corresponded to uniform, typically used tools, represented functions, decorative
elements, associated individuals, work setting and facial expression. Diferences were identifed as a function of the gender of
the child respondent, familiarity with the profession and the period during which the drawing was made (pre-/postpandemic).
: Te present research strives to contribute towards understanding of perceptions of nursing fgures in the symbolic
world of children, taking a more complete look at the view children have of nursing and the way in which they conceive and value
healthcare and caring for health.},
