Introduction
Universities carry the weight of society to train the majority of professionals and researchers in the country.

The scientific literature in Health Sciences does not present many studies on attitude to research that use instruments with calculated validation and reliability.

The 27-item instrument used presents validation (literature review and expert judgment, factor analysis) and reliability (Cronbach’s alpha: 0.65).
Results
The frequency of attitudes towards the research found was 18.6% (n = 36) in good attitude, 58.2% (n = 113) in regular attitude and 23.2% (n = 45) in bad attitude; significant difference (p = 0.00).
