Objective: To identify the relationship between environmental attitudes and behaviors in nursing students of a Colombian University. Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study in which 190 students participated through a stratified sampling semester. Environmental attitudes and behaviors and their relationship to sociodemographic variables were analyzed. The statistical correlation was analyzed using the Spearman correlation coefficient. Results: 100% of the attitudes and behaviors 46.7% were rated as adequate and relationship between environmental attitudes and age (p = 0.021) and between environmental behavior and age (p = 0.001) and between environmental behavior and sex (p = 0.012) was found. Conclusions: Although most students have positive environmental attitudes, they do not always reflected in their behavior, making it necessary to improve the training of professionals to help to decrease morbidity and mortality from diseases caused due to modifiable environmental factors.
