Abstract

This descriptive and cross-sectional research was performed to determine The Priorities of Budget Planning During the Crisis Period among University Students in Turkey. 345 nursing students attending Aydin Health College comprised the universe of research and 248 students who could be reached comprised the sample. When we look at the top three distributions of student expenses, it is seen that; accommodation costs are 52.36%, food-alimentation costs are 18.18% and education costs are 15.67%. The health priority of students is in the 6th place (8.67%). The national economy especially affects the budget of undergraduates living away from their families and they go for budget cutbacks by reducing health expenses and this situation may influence their health status adversely.
