Résumé

The work aims to Know the perception of undergraduate students in nutrition regarding the theme of nutrition and humanized care. The study methodology is based on the qualitative approach with 10 nutrition students from the State University of Bahia chosen intentionally. For the production of the data, semi-structured interviews were applied and a field diary was carried out. Data interpretation was carried out based on Bardin’s content analysis adapted by Minayo. In the research we can see that the university has a great role in the subject’s humanization process, in addition to developing their critical perception. To deal with the subjectivity of the other. One of the limits pointed out in the training of professionals is the disarticulation ok knowledge among themselves in the theory-practice presented by the disciplinary curriculum. In this way, we can conclude that, the students presented at expanded conceptual basis about humanized care in the nutrition service, emphasizing in their speeches the concept of light technologies. The predominance of questions among the interviewees is related to the non-continuity of curricular components that address the theme both in theory and in practice, as well as the lack of connection between the clinic and humanization.
