dc.description.abstractIntroduction: the study of human needs by Aristotle, Freud and Murray reveals their importance in shaping personality. Aristotle sees need as something inevitable, while Freud links it to the basic impulses of the id. Murray distinguishes between primary and secondary needs, which are essential for psychological well-being. Understanding these needs is crucial for human development. The aim of this study is to analyze the concept of health needs in nursing doctoral theses using Rodgers’ evolutionary method.Method: conceptual analysis based on Rodgers’ Evolutionary Model. Data collection in the Portuguese Open Access Scientific Repository with descriptor “Health Needs” and subject “Nursing”. Applied to doctoral theses with open access. The year of publication, country of origin, concept, attributes, antecedents, consequents, substitute terms and related concepts were evaluated. Results: seven theses were selected. They address the concept of Health Needs presented in two pillars: 1) health strategies in a relationship of reciprocity between the health professional and the approximation of the care expected with that provided; 2) the dimensions of health gains (other concepts have emerged such as practice directed towards equity and family support). Conclusions: health needs is a dynamic concept that is an integral part of the process of theoretical development in nursing and a central focus in determining care for the person being cared for or their family.eng
