- Abstract
Objective: to analyze the meaning of the social networks of adolescents who are under probation and to identify the essential components of these networks. Method: an exploratory study with a qualitative approach. Twenty-six teenagers, aged 13 to 18, participated in the study. For data gathering, the authors chose semi-structured interviews and network maps. Results: it became evident that social networks are essential for adolescents, with the family in a central position - especially the mothers - as well as the Centro de Referência Especializadode Assistência Social (Center for Specialized Reference of Social Assistance - CREAS) for social promotion and construction of new life projects, away from juvenile offending. However, adolescents reported no ties to health workers. Conclusion: the authors observed the need for nurses, as workers in primary health care, to practice in a way that is intersectoral and interdisciplinary, with the aim of strengthening the social networks of adolescents at conflict with the law.
