title: [Nursing students experiences while caring people with wounds].
abstract: To learn about and understand the feelings experienced by nursing students when making bandages during curricular and extracurricular clinical practice. This is a qualitative study, with a phenomenological framework. The guiding question used was: What did you feel while making the bandage? This study revealed that nursing students feel unprepared for making bandages. Students also reported various difficulties; like touching a stranger and associating theory to practice, for instance. They experienced positive emotions, like pleasure, as well as negative feelings, such as distress, insecurity, fear, and embarrassment. We believe that the teacher-student relationship would be improved if a space is created to discuss these experiences. In fact, such as space would represent one form of support, which students need due to the difficulties they have to deal with in this period of their academic education.
