HIV/AIDS social representations for healthcare professionals in the amazon context: different schools andtheir consensus

Abstract

Objective: To identify the central and peripheral elements of the structure of social representations of HIV/AIDS in health professionals from different categories of education. Method: a descriptive-exploratory study with a qualitative approach, supported by the theory of social representations in the structural aspect. It was developed with 58 health professionals from different education levels, higher and middle-level, in five services in the city of Manaus, AM, through the application of the technique of free association and hierarchization of words to the inductive term “HIV/AIDS”. The data obtained were processed using the EVOC software and the structural analysis of the representations. Results: when comparing the representational structures of the two groups of professionals, there was a predominance of a negative dimension present in the central nucleus and some peripheral elements with equally negative features with the presence of positive elements, mainly outside the central nucleus. However, it is the same social representation that does not present structural differences because it is a group with a middle or higher level of education. Conclusion: the negative elements that remain in the central nucleus raise converging perceptions among professionals, which indicates the need to strengthen permanent education, expanding the reflection on HIV/AIDS in specialized units and services.
