Abstract

Objective:

To understand how the participation of nursing students with a group of pregnant women and couples contributes to their training and professional practice.

Method:

Qualitative, descriptive and exploratory study. Data were collected using individual and semi-structured interviews held in 2017 with nursing students holding scholarships for extension work and working with a group of pregnant women and couples, implemented in a university hospital in the south of Brazil. The interviews were recorded and analyzed using Minayo's operational proposal.

Results:

The analysis revealed the reasons nursing students applied for a position in the extension project; the perceptions they held of the group of pregnant women; and how their experience with this extension project contributed to their academic and professional lives.

Conclusion:

The extension project positively impacts the lives of students, assisting both with curricular subjects and after graduation.
