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 situations of emotional fragility. We interviewed 16 professionals, using the Thematic Drawing-and-Story Procedure. After each interview, we wrote psychoanalytical narratives that, with the Thematic Drawing-and-Story Procedure, 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 for those patients.
