Abstract

Knowledge about the meaning attributed to the constructs of a profession enables reflections on how it

influences such a profession. The goal was to identify the meaning of the Nursing Process for faculty members in nursing

courses. In a descriptive research, involving 18 nursing faculty members from Ribeirão Preto, Goiânia and Brasília, the

components of the meaning were identified in the symbol, referent and reference. The results evidenced that the subjects

predominantly use the terms (symbols) Nursing Process and Care Systemization similarly, although they identify their

phases as proposed in international literature on Nursing Process (referent); they value the teaching of this theme and are

not unaware of the issues that occur in teaching as well as to consolidate the use of this process in health care; they also

consider the result of the challenge of teaching this content as positive and essential for the profession (reference).
