[A social poetic of the self-care: nursing students behavior aiming the promotion of health].
Based on the principle that the undergraduating nursing students are future professionals of caregiving, this study aims at analyzing their understanding in relation to the care with themselves, as well as at identifying the care that they have or would like to have with their own body. To promote an effective participation of the eleven subjects, this study was based on the social and poetic method, making a research-team. Considering the self-care from the Body Dynamics as Minimum Territory, the nursing students showed analytics categories as: The self-care conscience; The wish for caregiving to spiritual, intellectual and physical body, which in the classificatory study was named "Disregard versus wish for self-care". Thus, we think that it is fundamental for nursing professionals, as well as for nursing students, to consider the self-care thematic, since the engagement with their own health is essential for the well-being and best quality of life.
