Resumo: OBJECTIVE: to understand how nursing workers perceive the sexuality of patients with mental disorders. METHODOLOGY: this was a qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory research with a methodological approach to social representations. RESULTS: a total of 18 nursing workers from a Center for Integral Mental Health Care in São Paulo participated in the study. The data was collected through interviews using a semi-structured questionnaire between March and June of 2009. Most participants perceived sexuality as a form of disease, which was the target of surveillance, control, and punishment. The lack of preparedness in nursing professionals to deal with the sexuality of patients with mental disorders was noticed. CONCLUSION: myths, taboos, prejudices, and lack of knowledge was observed in nursing workers facing the sexuality of patients with mental disorders. The need to address sexuality as a natural phenomenon, inherent to human beings is reaffirmed.

Se trata de una investigación cualitativa, descriptivo-exploratoria, metodológica de las representaciones sociales. Participaron un total de 18 trabajadores de un Centro de Enfermería para Atención de la Salud Mental de San Pablo. Los datos fueron recogidos entre marzo y junio de 2009 en entrevistas por medio de un cuestionario semi-estructurado. La mayoría de los encuestados consideró la sexualidad como una forma de enfermedad, habiendo necesidad de vigilancia, control y sanción. Se observó la falta de preparación de los profesionales de enfermería frente a la sexualidad de los pacientes psiquiátricos. Encontramos mitos, tabúes, prejuicios y falta de conocimiento de los enfermeros frente a la sexualidad de los enfermos mentales. Reforzamos la necesidad de ver la sexualidad como un fenómeno natural, inherente al ser humano.OBJETIVO: compreender como trabalhadores de enfermagem percebem a sexualidade do portador de transtorno mental.
