The collective imaginary of the nursing staff about pregnancy's interruption. We aimed at investigating the collective imaginary of nurses about women whose pregnancy was interrupted, since nursing's work involves technical care and human's proximity in situation of emotional fragility. We interviewed 16 professionals, using the Drawing Stories with Theme. After each interview, we wrote psychoanalytical narratives that, with the drawing stories, were psychoanalytically considered, in order to produce, by interpretation, fields of affective and emotional sense. We observed three fields that allow the comprehension that the interrupted pregnancy is associated with fantasies of evil and lack of maternal love, which may be related to possible difficulties in caring those patients.
