dc.description.abstract | This study aimed to analyze the ethnic-racial representation in the images present in
nursing textbooks used in Brazil, focusing on the diversity of skin tones. The
methodology employed was a descriptive and documentary study, which examined
five textbooks widely used in nursing education. A total of 3,407 images of human
beings were analyzed through a systematic classification of skin tone, identifying the
number of images representing individuals with light and dark skin. The results
revealed that only 21.19% of the images depicted people with dark skin tones,
indicating a low representation of this population in educational materials. The
textbook that showed the highest proportion of images with dark skin tones was
Tratado de Enfermagem Médico-Cirúrgico ("Textbook of Medical-Surgical Nursing"),
with approximately 29%. This discrepancy indicates a predominance of light-skinned
images, which may contribute to the training of healthcare professionals who are
less sensitive to ethnic-racial diversity and the specific needs of different groups. As
a final consideration, the study highlights the urgent need for publishers, authors,
and educational institutions to review and update their visual content, promoting
greater inclusion and representation. The creation of more diverse materials can
positively influence the training of future nursing professionals, fostering more
humanized, fair, and equitable practices that are suited to Brazil's demographic
reality and the promotion of health among diverse populations. | pt_BR |
