ISSN 1414-3283. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/interface.170562. This is a qualitative research based on the Theory of Social Representations aiming at describing the transvestite’s image revealed by nurse(s). The Free Word Association Test (TFAW) was applied, consisting of the stimulus ‘Transvestite’, for 110 Postgraduate nursing students, from a public university located in Salvador city, Bahia state, Brazil.

Abstract

MERCADO-MARTINEZ, Francisco J.; HUERTA-FRANCISCO, Victor A. e URIAS-VAZQUEZ, Jorge E. Virtual social networks and Health. A participatory experience about chronic kidney disease. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2019, vol.23, e180125. Epub 11-Mar-2019. ISSN 1414-3283. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/interface.180125. Virtual social networks are increasingly present in the health field; however, few authors report the advances and difficulties related to their use. A participatory study using such networks was conducted in Guadalajara, Mexico. Four projects involving kidney disease were implemented: a survey, a YouTube channel, an e-book, and a Facebook page. Students, patients, family members, and associations participated in the process. Information was obtained through method triangulation and content analysis. The findings of this study highlight the analysis of the Hispanic-American
