This study aims to explore the perceived knowledge of nursing students regarding addictions, their therapeutic attitudes towards individuals with addiction, and their interest in receiving education on addictions. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among nursing students from multiple educational institutions. The survey included questions related to their perceived knowledge of addictions, attitudes towards addiction treatment, and interest in addictions education. The findings revealed variations in perceived knowledge levels among nursing students, with a significant number expressing a need for more education on addictions. Moreover, the majority of participants demonstrated positive therapeutic attitudes towards individuals with addiction. These results emphasize the importance of incorporating comprehensive addictions education into nursing curricula to enhance students' knowledge, attitudes, and competencies in addressing addiction-related issues in their future nursing practice.
