摘要：Objective: to conduct a survey on the knowledge and use of herbal medicines and/or medicinal plants and self-medication among nursing students at a Public University in the city of Campina Grande - PB. Methodology: A semi-structured questionnaire was applied with questions related to the socioeconomic and academic profile, questions about practices and knowledge in herbal medicine and self-medication. The data were tabulated in an Excel 2010 spreadsheet and analyzed using the R software, evaluating the numerical and percentage distribution, in addition to the chi-square test to verify the association between variables. Results: respondents (n=86) attended between the 1st and 8th period, females (77.0%) use the SUS for health care (66.7%) and are from Campina Grande-PB (60.4%). Having used medicinal plants or derivatives (66.3%), they had no training in herbal medicine (79%), performed self-medication (83.4%), mainly with: analgesics (87.2%). Family and friends were the main source of information about medicinal plants and/or allopathic medicines, 38.4% and 31.4%, respectively. The analysis of association between variables (p<0.05) showed that family income influences the use of SUS health care and that individuals who use herbal medicines have a greater tendency to indicate them. Conclusion: respondents have a profile in terms of self-medication, including herbal medicines, very similar to the general population, which highlights the importance of developing strategies to approach herbal medicine throughout the training of higher education health professionals.
