More specifically, the objectives were to determine whether there were any changes in their health habits during their course of study, and to understand whether the students\u2019 perceptions about good health conditions cohered with their health\u2010related behaviour.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Background<\/jats:title><jats:p>The transition from high school to university has an undesirable effect on students\u2019 health habits, and nursing students\u2019 unhealthy behaviours may prevent them from helping patients improve their poor health habits.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Design<\/jats:title><jats:p>A longitudinal design was used.

The sample consisted of 351 nursing students. Data were collected at the baseline during their entrance into the university (T0) and at the end of their third year of coursework (T3). We developed the <jats:italic>Nursing Student Health Habits Scale<\/jats:italic>, which was administered by a trained researcher. The McNemar test and the Wilcoxon signed\u2010rank test to evaluate the differences in health habits between T0 and T3, and a logistics model to assess the factors influencing students\u2019 good health perceptions were used.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>From T0 to T3, there were decreases in the number of students who requested physician consultations (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.01) and increases in those who exercised daily (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.003). There was also a change in the nutrition model (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.018).
