Abstract

This exploratory research with a qualitative
character, grounded in the Theory of Nursing Praxis
Intervention in Collective Health, aims to identify the
adolescents’ vulnerabilities according to the view of
nurses of a Health District. The data were collected using
semistructured interviews held with 16 nurses in February –
March 2014, these being analyzed through content analysis,
using the webQDA software. Evidence was found for four
categories and sixteen subcategories, with emphasis placed
on the recognition of vulnerabilities among the adolescents.
In the social construction, it is naturalized that boys and girls
have different vulnerabilities in the territory. Therefore, for
interventions, the training of the professionals and support
from the management is necessary such that their needs
may be met in interdepartmental actions. It is concluded
that studies are necessary which discuss, in the light of
gender, the process of determination of the adolescents’
vulnerability, so as to instrumentalize intervention
projects which lead to overcoming these vulnerabilities.
