Abstract

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to feature the understanding of nursing students’ lifestyle from a University in the interior

of Minas Gerais, Brazil, as well as to analyze if changes occurred in their own lifestyles during the school year by means

of exploratory-descriptive research. The participants were nursing students from the institution. Eighty-seven self-applied

questionnaires with semistructured questions were analyzed. The answers were analyzed through the number of times the

topic appeared. The students’ understanding of lifestyle evidenced how they live, while their understanding of healthy

lifestyle evidenced quality of life. They pointed out sedentariness as their unhealthy lifestyle and their eating habits as

their healthy one, which was also highlighted in terms of changes in their lifestyle during the school year. The students

should reconsider their lifestyle and develop actions that allow improvements.
