title: [The concept of man in nursing education: evaluation of the students' answers to the exam questions in nursing].
abstract: The purpose of the study was to describe the concept of man in nursing education. The data consisted of the nursing students' answers to the summative exam questions in seven courses in nursing. The total number of answers in the study was 202. The data was analyzed by the method of content analysis. Four dimensions of the concept of man were formed on the basis of the theoretical background: the holistic concept of man, the reduced concept of man, man as an active subject, man as a passive object. From the answers 40% described man as a holistic, active subject and 30% as a reduced, passive object. Man as a holistic, passive object was identified in 16% of the answers and as a reduced, active subject in the rest. The holistic concept of man was expressed as a bio-psychosocial wholeness. The reduced concept meant that man was described mostly as a biological organism. The activity of man was described as concrete activity, man was not described as a decision maker.
