Abstract

Climate change has been labeled the greatest threat to public health and to global health in the 21st century. Addressing climate change has also been reframed as the greatest opportunity for global health in the 21st century, providing a more proactive lens through which to plan and implement actions. Significant climate change impacts to human health are numerous and mounting, including the direct effects of heatwaves, thermal stress and changed frequency or intensity of other extreme weather events. Climate change has been termed a complex public health issue affecting all areas of nursing practice dealing with individuals, families, communities, and the national health arena, and is therefore deserving of inclusion into nursing curricula throughout the entirety of prelicensure coursework. Nursing education programs that include this content will better prepare future nurses to face projected environmental challenges to human health.

摘要

气候变化被视为21世纪对公众健康和全球健康的最大威胁。应对气候变化也被重新定义为21世纪全球健康的最大机遇，为规划和实施行动提供了一个更具前瞻性的视角。气候变化对人类健康产生了重大且日益增多的影响，包括热浪、热应激以及其他极端天气事件频率或强度变化所带来的直接影响。气候变化被称为一个复杂的公共卫生问题，影响着护理实践中涉及个人、家庭、社区及国家卫生领域的各个方面，因此应纳入整个执照前课程的护理课程体系。包含此内容的护理教育项目将更好地使未来护士做好准备，以应对预计的人类健康面临的环境挑战。
