To collect information it was used the Assessment Scale for Care Meaning, in Spanish: Escala de Evaluación Del Significado Del Cuidar (EESC, for its intials in spanish), ordinal Likert scale with 45 items divided into five categories: Human characteristic, moral imperative, affection, interpersonal relationship and therapeutic intervention. The statistical analysis of data was based on the calculation of descriptive measures and non-parametric tests such as the Kruskal-Wallis test (H statistic), Kendall's coefficient of concordance and Wilcoxon test, all under a significance level equal to 0.05. Results: In the overall performance of students and teachers, the category with the highest average score was care as therapeutic intervention, while the category with the lowest score was the care and affection. However, perception of care is different between students and teachers; statistically significant differences between categories were identified: human characteristic, affection and therapeutic intervention, and it was found that the perception of care regarding these categories is higher in teachers. Conclusion: We found no consensus when it comes to caring; there are different perceptions of care that exist simultaneously and are not exclusive. These ways of perceiving the care influence the conceptualization and practice of nursing.
