title: ["Scrap" as an element of communication in nursing].
abstract: Based on the understanding that students and nursing professionals demonstrate difficulties in being a "person" in the profession, we developed a descriptive and exploratory study with a qualitative approach. Then, we offered during the "Iind" II Nursing Congress in the city of Goiania a work-shop called "LEARNING ABOUT NURSE'S ENTITY". Among various processes of work-groups; the "Scrap" was used as a kind of communication. It was a resource utilized in certain dynamics, being the object of our study that has the following goals: to identify the representation of nurse's "entity", to verify the interaction process "man-scrap" during the realization of the work and to verify if the object is represented as it really is. We have seen that there are particularities in the representation of nurse's entity. Regarding "man-scrap" interaction it had the followed sequence: finding strange the material and the proposal of work, manipulating and identifying objects, "scrap" selection and concretion of the job. With respect to the objects, we perceived a clear preference to the ones related to the profession. Finally, we suggest that other studies about the "scrap" communication element, must be developed.
