ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Nursing professional identity (NPI) is essential for nurses to develop their nursing profession. It reflects the competencies consistent with the professional practices of nurses and contributes to them providing better healthcare and public health. The formation process of NPI started with undergraduate nursing education and continued throughout the nursing career. OBJECTIVE: To explore nursing students' perceptions of facilitators and barriers to the formation of NPI during their study. METHODS: A 4-year longitudinal, qualitative research design with yearly semi-structured interviews undertaken from 2019 to 2022. The reflexive thematic analysis methodology was applied for the data analysis. RESULTS: Ninety-three nursing students were recruited, joining a group or individual interview. The four-year nursing baccalaureate program revealed a dynamic formation process of NPI: "Outsider of nursing", "Entering the nursing courses", "Building nursing competence", and "Thinking and acting like a nurse". A total of 12 themes were identified to present the barriers and facilitators to the NPI formation at different stages. Specifically, the six barriers include conflict between their ideals and reality, sociocultural stereotypes about nursing, the negative impact of COVID-19, the pre-internship concerns, struggling to meet expectations, and potential danger and discrimination in the healthcare settings. The enablers were: self-motivation and inner belief towards the nursing profession, the power of role models, the improvement of nursing capacity, well integration into the healthcare professional teams, understanding of the clinical environment, and recognition and encouragement from others. CONCLUSIONS: The formation of nursing students' NPI is an ever-changing process, with various intrinsic and extrinsic influences during their four-year study. Nursing educators are suggested to prepare and develop students' professional comportment in their theoretical and clinical practice to develop their professional identity as a nurse.

ABSTRACT Objective: To report the insertion of the nursing students of the Franciscan University Center in the community through the project Adopting a Family, contributing to critical thinking within the Nursing academic production and its articulation to collective health. Results: In the professors' evaluation, the activity represented an effective articulation and insertion of the university in the community; for the students, it allowed for spaces of construction, deconstruction and negotiation with the unknown and the uncertain; for the families, it enabled the feeling of being remembered and valued as human beings and citizens. Through the experiences had, the transformation of health practices goes through the emergence and valuation of new knowledge. Final considerations: The insertion of the university in the community is constituted by an entrepreneurial strategy that is proponent of changes, due to its more effective and resolute outreach of health issues proposed by the national health system.
RESUMEN Objetivo: relatar la inserción comunitaria de los académicos de enfermería del Centro Universitario Franciscano, a través del proyecto Adotando uma família, y contribuir a la reflexión crítica en el ámbito de la producción académica y su articulación con la salud colectiva. Resultados: en la evaluación de los docentes, la actividad representó una efectiva articulación e inserción de la universidad en la comunidad; para los académicos, posibilitó espacios de construcción, deconstrucción y negociación con lo desconocido y lo incierto; y para las familias, el sentimiento de haber sido recordadas y valoradas como seres humanos y ciudadanos. La transformación de las prácticas de salud pasa, a partir de lo vivido, por la emergencia y valorización de nuevos saberes. Consideraciones finales: la inserción de la universidad en la comunidad se constituye, por lo tanto, en una estrategia emprendedora y proponente de cambios, por el alcance más efectivo y resolutivo de las cuestiones propuestas por el sistema de salud nacional.
