To explore sustainability education in nursing students in two countries.
Mixed methods including a sustainability survey and focus groups.
First-year undergraduate nursing students from two countries were invited to participate. 69 students from China and 32 students from England agreed to take part. Data were collected between December 2015 and February 2016. Students completed the Sustainability Attitudes in Nursing Survey (SANS_2) and a purposive sample were invited to participate in focus groups in each country.
All students had a positive attitude towards sustainability. However, for these four items, the results indicated that Chinese nursing students rate them significantly higher in importance than English students: Climate change is an important issue for nursing Issues about climate change should be included in the nursing curriculum Sustainability is an important issue for nursing Sustainability should be included in the nursing curriculum. The qualitative data identified four themes: Student nurses' conceptual understanding of sustainability focused mostly on environmental aspects and clinical waste management; Promoting sustainability within nursing education: teaching and learning methods. Promoting sustainability within nursing education: evaluating and certifying learning. Factors to consider when introducing sustainability to nursing education. The paper outlines the similarities and differences between Chinese and English nursing students' perceptions.
Sustainability in nurse education has similar concerns across countries.
Sustainability is an important issue for student nurses but strategies promoting incorporation of sustainability issues within nursing curricula are needed.
探讨两个国家护理专业学生的可持续发展教育情况。
采用包括可持续发展调查和焦点小组在内的混合方法。
邀请来自两个国家的本科一年级护理专业学生参与。69名中国学生和32名英国学生同意参加。数据收集于2015年12月至2016年2月期间。学生们完成了《护理专业可持续发展态度调查问卷》（SANS_2），并邀请了有目的抽样的学生参加每个国家的焦点小组。
所有学生对可持续发展都持积极态度。然而，对于以下四个项目，结果表明中国护理专业学生认为它们的重要性显著高于英国学生：气候变化是护理领域的重要问题；关于气候变化的问题应纳入护理课程；可持续发展是护理领域的重要问题；可持续发展应纳入护理课程。定性数据确定了四个主题：护理专业学生对可持续发展的概念理解主要集中在环境方面和临床废物管理；在护理教育中促进可持续发展：教学方法。在护理教育中促进可持续发展：学习评估与认证。将可持续发展引入护理教育时需考虑的因素。本文概述了中国和英国护理专业学生认知的异同。
各国护理教育中的可持续发展问题有相似之处。
可持续发展对护理专业学生来说是一个重要问题，但需要制定策略以促进将可持续发展问题纳入护理课程。
