Abstract

OBJECTIVES: To identify the knowledge of nursing students about psoriasis and their respective nursing care. METHOD: Descriptive qualitative study performed virtually, from June to November 2021, with nursing students from a public university, analyzed through Content Analysis. RESULTS: Responses were collected from 22 students from the 7th to the 10th period of the nursing course. Regarding psoriasis, 91.5% (n=21) of the students reported knowing about it. Analyzing the responses, it was possible to identify that the participants knew the main signs and symptoms of psoriasis. As the main results, there is the report of the participants about the importance of the nursing professional in observing adherence to treatment, which directly affects the manifestation of the disease, as well as supporting the biopsychosocial needs that concern the care of the individual. CONCLUSION: Nursing students have different degrees of knowledge about psoriasis, acquired during graduation or related to personal experiences. It is recommended that universities, in particular the curriculum of nursing courses, deal with property about the subject in question, its signs, symptoms, and forms of treatment in order to guarantee quality training for future nurses.
