Abstract
Obesity is a chronic disease that is a global problem. Individuals' perceptions of what health and a healthy lifestyle constitute have an important role in preventing obesity. This study aimed to determine the relationship between nursing students' health perceptions and obesity awareness. This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with nursing students (n=242) between December 20, 2019 and March 20, 2020 in the XXXXX School of Health. A student information form, health perception scale, and obesity awareness scale were used to collect the data. The average total score of the obesity awareness scale was 3.14±0.36, and the average total score of the health perception scale was 38.48±6.65. Overall, the students perceived that health status was more associated with concepts such as chance and destiny. It is recommended that students' health perceptions be improved.
