heal.abstract	Background : Life skills are a set of human skills acquired via teaching or direct experience that are used to handle problems and questions commonly encountered in daily human life. The basic element of a skill is the ability to c reate and materialise an effective sequence of choices, so as to achieve the desirable effect. It is important that somebody allocates life skills in six broad sectors: sensitiv ity, experiencing emotions, realism thought, language and the internal logos, h armony in self - attribution and communication and finally, remuneration activity in finding a meaning in profession Aim : The determination of nursing students’ opinions with regard to the existence of life skills and to what degree they impact. Methodology : The answers of 144 students of two Nursing Departments in Greece (one from Athens and one from providences) were evaluated using a questionnaire in order to determine their opinions about the non - existence or existence of life skills and if so what level of impact they had on. The questionnaire included 69 questions describing the following seven dimensions of life skills: emotio n, thought, relations, study, professional settlement, leisure time, mental – bodily health. The answers were given based on the 4 point Likert scale (no need for improvement, minimal need, small need, large need). For data process we used SPSS 14 (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) for Window s and more concretely, the Mann – Whitney U control and Pearson’ s cross - correlat ion parametric coefficient. Results : The descriptive analysis of this questionnaire showed that the sample of students had an effectual or a large need of improvement at a percentage of 42.9% in the emotional sector, 32.2% in the sector of thought, 31% in the sector of relations, 41.3% in the sector of study, 32.7% in the sector of professional settlement, 30.7% in the sector of leisure time and 35.1% in the sector of health. Mann – Whitney U control showed statistically important differences in 23 of the 6 9 questions. The Pearson’s cross - correlation parametric coefficient showed that they should emphasize in sectors as maintenance of balance between work, personal relations and family, as well as decision - making. Conclusions : The objective of education in l ife skill is to help people increasing the probability of making good and no insufficient choices in targeted skills	en
