Perception of Nursing Academics at A University Center in Brasília on Induced Abortion

Objective: Get to know and mark the perception of nursing students about the subject and about the factors that influence their power on the subject.

Methodology: A descriptive study with a qualitative approach was carried out. Elected 19 students of the Nursing Bachelor's degree enrolled at the Centro Universitário Euro -Americano (UNIEURO), data collection took place through interviews with semi-structured scripts.

Results: Three thematic categories emerged: 1) Knowledge of Brazilian legislation regarding abortion; 2) Personal positioning regarding the practice of abortion in Brazil; 3) The influence of religion, morality and ethics.

Final considerations: It demonstrates the importance of exploring further discussions on the subject with students, even if religious aspects are not the main influencer, but to deconstruct the abortion-related taboo in order to obtain professionals with a holistic and humanized view.
