Abstract
Environmental perception is understood as an awareness of the environment by
man. Each individual perceives, reacts and responds differently to actions on the
environment, and the study of environmental perception is of fundamental
importance to better understand the interrelationship between man and the
environment. The following research had as main interest to analyze the
environmental perception of nursing teachers and whether it achieves the connection
with the stimulation of an environmental awareness in students. This is a qualitative
study, of the exploratory type with professors from the Faculty of Nursing being
excluded those who are away for any reason from their function. The study was
carried out in a private philanthropic university located in the city of Salvador/BA.
Environmental perception goes beyond the reductionist concept, focused only on
biological order and epidemiological factors; the conceptions brought by teachers
establish a strong connection between environmental factors and health and disease
constraints, but the environmental/ecological issue is still incipient, both in discourse
and practice. It is necessary to qualify and stimulate professionals to plan and
intervene in the environmental reality, in conservation, preservation, prevention and
mitigation the negative effects of the environment on human life. Only in this way, it is
possible to sustain an integral and integrative care, which goes beyond the physical
dimension.
