OBJECTIVE: to know the perception of nursing students regarding the identification and management of patients with immediate transfusion reactions. METHOD: descriptive-exploratory with a qualitative approach, with the application of a semi-structured questionnaire in June 2022 to 15 nursing students at a private institution of higher education in southern Brazil. Data were analyzed according to content analysis, thematic modality. RESULTS: the category emerged: knowledge of nursing students regarding immediate transfusion reactions, consisting of two subcategories: conceptual weakness for early recognition of signs and symptoms of immediate transfusion reaction; and general and specific conducts in the event of an immediate transfusion reaction from the perspective of nursing students. Conceptual incipience was observed regarding the temporality of the transfusion reaction, and among the main signs and symptoms reported, pain and fever stood out. Although two participants did not know how to report any initial approach/conduct, it was observed that suspending the transfusion immediately, requesting a medical evaluation and checking vital signs were predominant in the statements. CONCLUSION: nursing students have a conceptual lack of knowledge about transfusion reactions, and recognize the most common and immediate changes indicative of transfusions, in order to list behaviors to be instituted by health professionals to minimize the impacts of these problems on patients.
