Estudo descritivo-exploratório, qualitativo, que tem como objetivos, investigar as ações socioeducativas oferecidas aos adolescentes infratores em regime de semiliberdade, bem como, apreender opiniões e sugestões desses jovens para mudanças no planejamento das ações socioeducativas desenvolvidas por essas unidades de atendimento. Participaram 30 adolescentes do sexo masculino nos meses de julho a setembro de 2009. Os depoimentos foram gravados, transcritos e analisados mediante o Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo, sendo os m esmos, decompostos em três idéias centrais: Atividades e afazeres dos adolescentes que cumprem medida socioeducativa; Atuação da FUNASE (Fundação de Atendimento Socioeducativo) na reeducação e ressocialização dos adolescentes; Sugestões dos adolescentes para mudanças no planejamento das ações socioeducativas desenvolvidas pela instituição. O estabelecimento das possibilidades de atividades socioeducativas constitui uma ferramenta essencial para o adolescente infrator, pois extrapola as limitações impostas pelas medidas de privação de liberdade que comprometem o convívio social do mesmo. Essas atividades socioeducativas possibilitam reorientação na formação desse adolescente, que não é apenas infrator, mas vítima da violência social decorrente de um processo de exclusão de medidas e condições necessárias à promoção do desenvolvimento humano. Destaca-se o papel do enfermeiro que deve agregar ao seu fazer cotidiano, estratégias e práticas comprometidas com a promoção à saúde do adolescente sob medida socioeducativa.
