Las creencias en torno al embarazo forman parte de la herencia cultural y constituyen mitos que permanecen en el tiempo. El propósito del presente trabajo es explorar si los mitos pueden constituir factores etiológicos de los diagnósticos enfermeros que aparecen durante el embarazo. Se ha realizado un estudio descriptivo con mujeres embarazadas de dos poblaciones sociológicamente diferentes: Lanzarote y León. Con los resultados obtenidos hemos comprobado que persisten creencias erróneas susceptibles de ser modificadas a través de la Educación para la Salud.

Based on the results obtained, we were able to demonstrate that the population still has false believes, although these can be modified through heath education strategies
