Introduction:
new technologies favor the scientific and technical development of society, which is why they must be assimilated in the teaching-learning process by the students of the career.
Objective:
to characterize the use of information and communication technologies by students of the Degree in Nursing at the University of Medical Sciences of Pinar del Río between January and March 2018.
Methods:
observational, descriptive, and cross-sectional study in second-year undergraduate students in Nursing. Theoretical and empirical methods were used. Statistical measures were applied as absolute frequency and relative percentage.
Results:
it was found that 23,5 % did not have access to any computer medium. Half of the study universe said they own a mobile phone with an Android or iOS operating system. 59,3 % of the students did not use the institutional Internet connection, 23,5 % used it for teaching purposes. 76,5 % reported using conferences and complementary materials digitized for the study; 46,9 % used both digital and conventional media. 12 % of the students expressed that they do not find the computer media useful for learning.
Conclusions:
It was found useful in the use of Information and Communication Technologies in the teaching process, which have high access; where smartphones are the most used, there is a poor use of the Internet for the teaching and research process. The materials in digital support are widely used for the study.
