Objective: To analyze how social representations of hospital and community care are structured in two groups of nursing students -1 st and 4 th years. Method: Qualitative research oriented by the Theory of Social Representations. We used a questionnaire with Free Association of Words. Data were analyzed in the Software IRaMuTeQ 0.6 alpha 3. Results: We applied the method of Descending Hierarchical Classifi cation and obtained four classes. Class 4 has the largest social representation (30.41%) within the corpus. The two organizational axes are nurse and disease/patient in the central core. On the periphery are the care and help related to the nurse and the treatment and prevention associated with the disease. Conclusion: Social representations focus on disease/patient and on the role of nurses in the treatment, prevention, and care. Health promotion and the social determinants of health are absent from the social representations of students. Key words: Nursing Students; Nursing Education; Hospital Assistance; Primary Health Care; Skills-Based Education.

(1) Background: considering the growing increase in informal caregivers or family caregivers, it is critical to identify the unmet care needs of informal caregivers to improve their experiences, health, and well-being, contributing to the achievement of care needs of the elderly or people with adult dependency and promotion of successful transitions from health services to the community/home. (2) Objective: to identify the current state of knowledge about programs addressed to family caregivers/informal caregivers needs. (3) Methods: a systematic review will be undertaken with resource to databases from EBSCOhost Research Platform, Scopus, Web of Science, The Virtual Health Library (VHL). Studies published after January 2011 in English, Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese will be considered. This review will consider all studies that report on any intervention program targeting family caregivers/informal caregivers who need to improve their experiences, health, and well-being, contributing to the meeting of their needs or those who have dementia and cognitive impairment, mental disorders, impairments in activities of daily living, frailty and/or who need health care and/or promoting successful transitions of community.
