The research was conducted descriptively in order to determine the attitudes of the nursing students of a state university on the registration and protection of personal health data. 319 students from third and fourth years were included in the sampling. The data were collected using the "Personal Information Form" and the "Personal Health Data Registration and Preservation Attitude Scale For Nursing Students" created by scanning the literature. The scale total score average of the students participating in the study is 3.94 ± 0.42 and their attitudes are evaluated as positive. The students got the highest score with 4.24 ± 0.57 from the "Legal data sharing" sub-dimension of the scale. It was determined that student's class level, and hearing the expression of personal health data before affected their attitude levels. A statistically significant difference was found between the attitude scores of the students who had heard the statement of personal health data before and those who did not. It has been determined that the nursing students' attitudes towards the recording and protection of personal data are positive. It may be suggested to plan training programs to attract the attention of students and working nurses and to share their legal responsibilities.
