OBJECTIVE: Identify the beliefs and attitudes of nursing students in regard of the treatment of alcohol addicted patients. METHOD: Quantitative, descriptive research developed with 117 nursing students of a public university. The "Attitudes and Beliefs About Alcoholism" scale was used. RESULTS: The students understand the nurse’s importance in the early diagnosis of signs and symptoms of alcoholism, its abstinence and welfare possibilities for the area, but feel unprepared and insecure facing this multidisciplinary phenomenon that is alcoholism. CONCLUSION: A need for further theoretical and practical inclusion about the use of alcohol and other drugs is seen in the nursing curriculum.
