Method: this is a descriptive-correlational study using an online questionnaire for data collection. 705 nursing students participated, with a mean age of 21.74 years (SD=4.44). The data collection instruments used were the Herth Hope Index (HHI-PT) and the Well-Being Manifestations Measure Scale (WBMMS). Descriptive and inferential statistics were used.
