Abstract

This research was developed from a qualitative study of in-depth interviews with immigrant construction workers from different origins. The aim was to explore the way that the worker's sociocultural baggage influences the risk perception within the occupational area. Through data analysis it was found that there is scarcely any difference about corporal perception between prevention experts and immigrant workers, as they both establish a common category: corporal fragility. That is, therefore, an issue to be explored and exploited by those professional nurses whose work environment allows the selfcare promotion of the workers.
