The purpose of this study is to present a reflection on the differentiation between adolescence, youth, and youths and their implications in the nursing scenario through the construction of a conceptual map. The map exemplifies the relationship between concepts and their branching of signifiers in a similar configuration, with concepts ordered logically, hierarchically and with connecting words, establishing relationships between them, thus allowing their interpretation. The construction of the conceptual map as a learning technique proved to be an important indicator of the definitions seized, establishing the possibility of clarifying definitions besides integrating new knowledge with previous information when establishing interrelationships.
