- Abstract
Objective: To determine the relationship of attitudes towards alcohol and alcohol consumption among nursing students. Method: correlational descriptive study. The sampling was census with a sample of 166 participants of a program of Nursing of two private universities in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. The techniques used to gather data were the Scale for the Measurement of Attitudes Towards Alcohol and the alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test. Results: It was identified that 83.1% of nursing students have consumed alcohol sometime in life, 73.5% have done so in the last year and 33.7% reported having used in the last seven days. Positive attitudes towards alcohol consumption were associated positively and significantly with the sensible consumption (rs = 0.401; p = 0.001), with dependent consumption (rs = 0.263; p = 0.001) and the harmful use of alcohol ( rs = 0.219; p = 0.016). Conclusion: The findings show the need to design and develop nursing interventions to prevent alcohol and other drugs consumption and encourage the development of skills to avoid alcohol.
