RESUMEN
Se desarrolló un estudio descriptivo para determinar actitudes y comportamientos relacionados con salud ambiental en 143 estudiantes universitarios de enfermería. Se emplearon cuestionarios elaborados en base a escalas validadas tipo Likert de actitudes y de comportamientos ambientales, con 8 y 12 ítems respectivamente. Las actitudes positivasmás importantes se relacionaron con aquellas en que se afecta la salud y los comportamientos más frecuentes con eluso adecuado del agua y energía; hubo una débil correlación entre actitudes y comportamiento ambientales (rs=0,30).De acuerdo con las escalas empleadas, los participantes tienen una actitud ambiental positiva que no se refleja en sus comportamientos lo cual puede influir de manera negativa en sus próximas actividades como promotores de la salud ambiental.
ABSTRACT
A descriptive study was carried to determine the attitudes and behaviors related with environmental health in 143 nurse students. The questionnaires were elaborated on the basis of validated Likert scales about environmental attitudes andbehaviors, with 8 and 12 items respectively. The most important positive attitudes were related with those would be dangerous for the health and more frequent behaviors with the appropriate use of water and energy; a weak relationship exists between environmental attitudes and behaviors (rs= 0,30). In accordance with the scales, the students have a positive environmental attitude but they do not reflect it in their behaviors, which can influence their next activities likeenvironmental health promoters in negative way.
