Objective: To identify the attitudes of Colombian nurses towards alcohol, alcoholism and
alcoholics, verifying their relationship with variables of interest in the study.
Method: Cross-sectional study whose data was collected in 2014 and 2015, through the use
of the Scale of Attitudes towards Alcohol, Alcoholism and Alcoholics, Spanish version. The
sample consisted of 303 nurses from health institutions of Bogotá, Colombia.
Results: Negative attitudes regarding interpersonal relationships with alcohol users in health
care units and the etiology of alcoholism were observed in 56.8% of the participants. The
associated factors were age, time elapsed since completion of the undergraduate nursing
