They were related to family influence in childhood, nursing representations, perception of care practices experienced in a health-related situation in the family, choice of nursing given its academic titles, lack of knowledge about the nursing profession, and assertive choice of this profession. professional choice was closely linked to initial social processes in people's lives and the idea of a socially and uniquely built professional identity.

Summary

Introduction

The term socialization emerged in the sociology field, and its meaning focuses on the accumulation of processes related to social, experiential, and sui generis attitudes[1]. Considered a complex phenomenon, socialization can be split into two structures. The first, known as objective, deals with behavioral reactions observed from the outside. The second, named subjective, encompasses the feelings of success and adaptation experienced under the society conditions[1]. The identity of an individual is the product of numerous socializations over their life[2]. Symbols, and sense of belonging, among other factors, gradually contribute to building personal and collective identities[3]
