To evaluate the perspective of nurses in Turkey towards the global climate crisis and its impact on mental health using a qualitative approach.
This study was conducted from August to September 2023 with 35 nurses living in seven regions of Turkey using an inductive qualitative approach. The researchers employed the snowball sampling method to select participants. Interviews with the participants were conducted until data saturation was reached. Thematic analysis was used to emerge themes.
The findings revealed five main themes (perception of the global climate crisis, effects of the global climate crisis, effects of the global climate crisis on mental health, reflections of the global climate crisis on nursing and nurses' views on prevention and intervention studies for the global climate crisis). Also, the findings revealed 12 sub-themes (physical outcomes, mental outcomes, direct and indirect impacts, psychosocial effects and personal, national and international-based reflections).
Our study indicates that nurses exhibit genuine concern for the global climate crisis and experience psychological effects related to this pressing environmental issue. Nurses are keenly aware of their responsibility to safeguard the planet and demonstrate a strong sense of concern for the state of the world.
It is evident that nurses, being prominent advocates for sustainability, are cognizant of their responsibility to protect the planet and demonstrate genuine apprehension for the state of the world.
Nurses play a crucial role, as they make up 60% of the global healthcare workforce and are often the frontline healthcare professionals during natural disasters. It is vital to elucidate and clarify the terminology concerning the relationship between the climate crisis and the mental health of nurses, to determine the scope of this relationship and to make recommendations for future research areas.

采用定性研究方法，评估土耳其护士对全球气候危机及其对心理健康影响的看法。
本研究于2023年8月至9月进行，采用归纳定性研究方法，对居住在土耳其七个地区的35名护士进行了调查。研究人员采用滚雪球抽样法选取参与者。对参与者进行访谈，直至达到数据饱和。采用主题分析法提炼主题。
研究结果揭示了五个主要主题（对全球气候危机的认知、全球气候危机的影响、全球气候危机对心理健康的影响、全球气候危机对护理工作的影响以及护士对全球气候危机预防和干预研究的看法）。此外，研究结果还揭示了12个子主题（身体结果、心理结果、直接和间接影响、心理社会影响以及基于个人、国家和国际的思考）。
我们的研究表明，护士对全球气候危机表现出真正的关注，并因这一紧迫的环境问题而产生心理影响。护士们敏锐地意识到自己保护地球的责任，并对世界状况表现出强烈的关切。
显然，护士作为可持续发展的杰出倡导者，意识到自己保护地球的责任，并对世界状况表现出真正的担忧。
护士占全球医疗劳动力的60%，在自然灾害期间往往是一线医疗专业人员，因此发挥着至关重要的作用。阐明和澄清有关气候危机与护士心理健康之间关系的术语，确定这种关系的范围，并为未来的研究领域提出建议至关重要。
