The adverse health effects from climate change demand action from the nursing profession. This article examines the calls to action, the status of climate change in nursing education, and challenges and recommendations for nursing education related to climate change and human health.
Discussion paper.
The integration of climate change into nursing education is essential so that knowledge, skills, and insights critical for clinical practice in our climate-changing world are incorporated in curricula, practice, research, and policy. Our Ecological Planetary Health Model offers a framework for nursing to integrate relevant climate change education into nursing curricula and professional nursing education. Nursing education can offer a leadership role to address the mitigation, adaptation, and resilience strategies for climate change.
An ecological framework is valuable for nursing education regarding climate change through its consideration of political, cultural, economic, and environmental interrelationships on human health and the health of the planet. Knowledge of climate change is important for integration into basic and advanced nursing education, as well as professional education for nurses to address adverse health impacts, climate change responses policy, and advocacy roles.
For current and future nurses to provide care within a climate-changing environment, nursing education has a mandate to integrate knowledge about climate change issues across all levels of nursing education. Competence in nursing practice follows from knowledge and skill acquisition gained from integration of climate change content into nursing education.
气候变化对健康产生的不利影响要求护理行业采取行动。本文探讨了行动呼吁、护理教育中气候变化的现状，以及与气候变化和人类健康相关的护理教育面临的挑战与建议。
讨论文件。
将气候变化纳入护理教育至关重要，这样在我们这个气候变化的世界中临床实践所需的知识、技能和见解才能融入课程、实践、研究和政策之中。我们的生态行星健康模型为护理行业将相关气候变化教育融入护理课程和专业护理教育提供了一个框架。护理教育可以在应对气候变化的缓解、适应和恢复力策略方面发挥领导作用。
一个生态框架对于护理教育应对气候变化具有重要价值，因为它考虑了政治、文化、经济和环境对人类健康及地球健康的相互关系。气候变化知识对于融入基础和高级护理教育以及护士的专业教育很重要，以便应对不利的健康影响、气候变化应对政策和倡导作用。
为了让当前及未来的护士在气候变化的环境中提供护理服务，护理教育必须在各级护理教育中融入有关气候变化问题的知识。将气候变化内容融入护理教育所获得的知识和技能会带来护理实践能力的提升。
