Published: September 2007

In this paper, which uses a qualitative approach, we try to understand the conception undergraduate Nursing students at the Federal University of Santa Catarina have regarding worker's health. Three questions were asked to twenty students: What does he/she understand as worker's health? How can Nursing help to improve worker's health? Which is the relation between work and lifestyle? The results were grouped in the following themes: conceptions of worker's health; the role of Nursing in the context of worker's health; and relation between work and lifestyle. We highlighted the interrelation between work and lifestyle, and between work and worker's health. Our reflections reinforce the need to discuss these themes in the universities so that students are stimulated to think about their own health since the beginning of their academic life. That way, we believe that they will be able to incorporate protective actions to their own health in their daily's work.
