abstract = {Increased migration has led to increased prejudice towards immigrant populations.
This study aims to analyse attitudes towards immigration among student nurses in three universities,
two in Spain and one in Portugal. Methodology: A descriptive, transversal, prospective study was
carried out among student nurses (n = 624), using the Attitude towards Immigration in Nursing
scale. Results: Nursing students showed some positive attitudes towards immigration, such as that
immigrants should have the right to maintain their customs or that immigrants should have free
access to healthcare and education, in contrast to some negative attitudes, such as that crime rates
have increased due to immigration or that immigrants receive more social welfare assistance than
natives. Significant di erences in attitudes were revealed between students from the three universities.
Discussion: Training in transcultural nursing is necessary for all nursing students in order to reduce
negative attitudes towards the immigrant population and increase the awareness and sensitivity of
future healthcare sta  in caring for patients of all backgrounds.},
