To apprehend men’s social representations on Family Planning (FP), focusing on nurses’ participation was the objective of this study, based on the Theory of Social Representations, carried out at a public hospital in Fortaleza-CE-Brazil, with 13 men that participated in the educational activity of FP, from June to September 2009.
