Abstract

AIM

To explore Australian and New Zealand nursing and midwifery educators' planetary health knowledge, views, confidence and teaching practices.

DESIGN

A cross-sectional survey design.

METHODS

An online survey was sent to Australian and New Zealand nursing and midwifery educators across the 45 Schools of Nursing and Midwifery between July and September 2023. The online survey consisted of 29 open- and closed-ended questions about nursing and midwifery educators' planetary health knowledge, views, confidence and teaching practices.

RESULTS

There was a total of 127 responses to the first open-ended question. A total of 97 nursing and midwifery educators then completed the remaining questions. While educators had mostly positive views about integrating planetary health into their teaching, they lacked the knowledge and/or confidence to do so effectively.

CONCLUSION

Australian and New Zealand nursing and midwifery educators acknowledge that planetary health should be included in nursing and midwifery curricula, but most reported a deficit in knowledge and/or confidence to integrate these complex concepts into their teaching. When considering planetary health, most educators focussed on climate change, which demonstrates their limited understanding of the concept of planetary health.

IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION

All nurses and midwives need to understand how the health of the planet and human civilization are interconnected and be prepared to address complex global health challenges now and in the future. Across the world, key healthcare organizations have called upon nursing and midwifery educators to prepare the healthcare workforce to practice in a more sustainable way, including supporting decarbonization of healthcare. However, our study has demonstrated that nursing and midwifery educators do not feel ready to respond due to a lack of required knowledge and/or confidence.

REPORTING METHOD

We used the Consensus-Based Checklist for Reporting of Survey Studies (CROSS).

摘要

目的

探讨澳大利亚和新西兰护理及助产教育工作者的全球健康知识、观点、信心及教学实践。

设计

横断面调查设计。

方法

2023年7月至9月间，向澳大利亚和新西兰45所护理及助产学院的护理及助产教育工作者发送了在线调查问卷。该在线调查问卷包含29个关于护理及助产教育工作者的全球健康知识、观点、信心及教学实践的开放式和封闭式问题。

结果

对第一个开放式问题共有127份回复。随后共有97名护理及助产教育工作者完成了其余问题。虽然教育工作者对将全球健康融入教学大多持积极看法，但他们缺乏有效这样做的知识和/或信心。

结论

澳大利亚和新西兰的护理及助产教育工作者承认全球健康应纳入护理及助产课程，但大多数人报告在将这些复杂概念融入教学方面知识和/或信心不足。在考虑全球健康时，大多数教育工作者关注气候变化，这表明他们对全球健康概念的理解有限。

对该专业的启示

所有护士和助产士都需要了解地球健康与人类文明是如何相互关联的，并准备好应对现在和未来复杂的全球健康挑战。在全球范围内，主要医疗保健组织呼吁护理及助产教育工作者培养医疗保健 workforce 以更可持续的方式执业，包括支持医疗保健的脱碳。然而，我们的研究表明，护理及助产教育工作者由于缺乏所需的知识和/或信心，觉得还没有准备好做出回应。
