From the population of 75 second-year students of the regular daytime Nursing course in Camagüey, a convenience sample of 48 was selected. The following empirical methods were applied: observation, academic engagement scale and the positive-negative-interesting technique. The following dimensions were assumed: enthusiasm, dedication and absorption. For the analysis of quantitative data, distribution of absolute frequencies and percentages was used.
Results: Of the total sample, 54.17 % had a high level of commitment. The dimension enthusiasms reached 52.08 %, dedication 50.00 % and absorption 43.75 %. The use of available time to fulfill other activities such as active research was assessed.
