Los profesionales de enfermeria requieren competencias en salud medioambiental infantil para abordar problemas de salud ambiental. La inclusion de cuestiones medioambientales en los planes de estudios usando las nuevas tecnologias es esencial. Este estudio ha desarrollado y validado el Cuestionario de Conocimientos y Habilidades en Salud Ambiental Infantil (ChEHK-Q / ChEHS-Q) para medir conocimientos y habilidades en salud medioambiental infantil, respectivamente, entre estudiantes de enfermeria espanoles y britanicos. El 87,53% de los estudiantes espanoles tenia actitudes positivas, pero solo el 20,35% tenia buenos conocimientos y el 47,20% buenas habilidades para tratar problemas medioambientales. El 97,45% de los estudiantes britanicos tenia buenas actitudes, el 22,41% tenia buenos conocimientos y el 33,62% buenas habilidades. La intervencion e-NurSus Children mejoro los conocimientos sobre salud ambiental (39,02%), las habilidades (29,98%) y finalmente las actitudes (15,81%). Es necesario cambiar el curriculum, ya que los estudiantes tienen actitudes positivas pero les faltan conocimientos y habilidades necesarios. Nurses with children´s environmental health competencies can take care of environmental problems. The inclusion of environmental issues in the nursing curriculum using the new technologies is essential. This study has developed and validated the Children's Environmental Health Knowledge and Skills Questionnaire (ChEHK-Q / ChEHS-Q) for measuring knowledge of and skills in children´s environmental health, respectively, among Spanish and British nursing students. The 87.53 % of the Spanish students had positive attitudes, but only the 20.35% of them had good knowledge and the 47.20% had good skills to deal environmental problems. The 97.45% of the British students had good attitudes, the 22.41% had good knowledge and the 33.62% had good skills. The e-NurSus Children intervention improved environmental health knowledge the most (39.02%), followed by skills (29.98%) and finally attitudes (15.81%). It is necessary to change the curriculum, as students have positive attitudes towards this but lack knowledge and skills.
