The study carried out aims to show the relationship between nutritional education and eating habits in Health Sciences students at a private Peruvian university. The research approach is quantitative and the research design is non-experimental of a cross- sectional type. The data of this study arise from a non-probabilistic sample made up of 342 students from the Universidad Privada del Norte from Lima, Peru who belong to the professional careers of Nutrition and Dietetics (n = 90), Nursing (n = 85), Obstetrics (n = 85) and Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation (n = 82) The unit of analysis was made up of students who took the subject of Introduction to Nutrition in the academic year 2019-II. It is observed that of the total, 47% of Health Sciences students have a moderate level of nutritional education, followed by 35% of students with a low level and 18% has a high level of nutritional education. Regarding eating habits, 39% of all students have a moderate level, followed by 32% who has a low level and 29% has a high level. It is evidenced that the representative students of the population have an adequate education regarding the importance of water consumption and verification of the expiration date of packaged products. In addition, they have adequate habits regarding the consumption of the first meal of the day and fruit. Likewise, it is concluded that the nutritional education received so far and their eating habits are mostly acceptable, but not outstanding. This implies that their knowledge of nutrition does not necessarily have a decisive influence on their eating practices. No great difference was found between the aforementioned careers regarding nutritional education received and eating habits.

Spiritual well-being is one dimension of health that provides a person with stability, meaning, fulfillment in life, and self-belief. This study aimed to compare the spiritual well-being among students of Kerman University of Medical Sciences and the Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman. With the demographic questionnaire and 20-item spiritual well-being scale of the “Paloutzian and Ellison” questionnaire, a cross-sectional study was conducted on 626 students of the universities of medical and nonmedical sciences by the quota sampling method in Kerman in 2017-2018. The scores of spiritual well-being and its two components were significantly higher in nonmedical science students (89.83 ± 16.79) than in the medical science students (81.61 ± 15.21) ( p < 0.05 ). In addition, one percent of the nonmedical science students had a low level, 67.7% had a moderate level, and 31.3% had a high level of spiritual well-being. 0.3% of the medical science students had a low level, 84% had a moderate level, and 15.7% had a high level of spiritual well-being. Since spirituality is important for the profession of medical science students, it may be necessary to expand this component in their curriculum.

The Impact

Today’s COVID-19 situation can affect university Health Sciences students’ psychological health. This study aimed to analyze the stress caused by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Health Sciences students from the University of Zaragoza (Spain) almost 1 year after the pandemic began. This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with a sample of 252 university students who completed a self-administered online questionnaire. It evaluated the impact of perceived stress with a modified scale (PSS-10-C), and assessed anxiety and depression on the Goldberg scale. Students presented stress (13.1%), anxiety (71.4%) and depression (81%). Females (81.7%) and the third-year Occupational Therapy students (p = 0.010) reported perceived stress. Nursing students perceived less stress (OR: 0.148; 95% CI: 0.026 to 0.842). University students developed stress and anxiety due to COVID-19 almost 1 year after the pandemic began. Psychological support measures for these groups should be prioritized.

Objective: This study aimed to identify smoking behavior, social support, and cessation motivation in smoking among health sciences’ students. Methods: This research was categorized as observational-descriptive one, with the use of accidental sampling technique to recruit as many as 63 students of faculty of health sciences who were defined as active smokers. The data, furthermore, were collected by means of a questionnaire. At last, a statistical-descriptive analysis was used to evaluate the data. Result: The result was most of the involved respondents were shown to have a moderate trend of smoking (65%).
