As a major global health threat, climate change is an important issue for nurses who play a pivotal role in health protection and improvement, and in the development of climate-smart healthcare systems. Sustainability attitudes in nursing should be developed together with awareness and concern for climate change.
The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between nursing students' global climate change awareness, climate change anxiety, and sustainability attitudes in nursing.
This descriptive, correlational study was conducted with 289 nursing students at a state university. Data were collected using the Descriptive Characteristics Form, the Global Climate Change Awareness Scale, the Climate Change Anxiety Scale, and the Sustainability Attitudes in Nursing Survey. Mean and percentage distributions, the Independent Samples t-test, ANOVA test, Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data. The STROBE checklist was used to report this study.
Global climate change awareness of the nursing students was at a moderate level, and the levels of climate change anxiety and sustainability attitudes in nursing were above average. There was determined to be a moderate positive correlation between climate change awareness and sustainability attitude in nursing, between anxiety and sustainability attitude in nursing, and between climate change awareness and anxiety. Climate change awareness and anxiety explained 25.1% of the sustainability attitude in nursing.
The study provides evidence of the relationship between nursing students' global climate change awareness and anxiety, and sustainability attitudes in nursing. It can be recommended that climate change and sustainability awareness-raising content are integrated into the nursing curriculum. The development of a sustainability attitude in nursing will contribute to the development of sustainable and low-carbon healthcare practices.
气候变化作为一项重大的全球健康威胁，对于在健康保护与改善以及气候智能型医疗系统发展中发挥关键作用的护士而言是一个重要问题。护理领域的可持续发展态度应与对气候变化的认识和关注一同培养。
本研究旨在确定护理专业学生的全球气候变化意识、气候变化焦虑与护理领域可持续发展态度之间的关系。
本描述性相关性研究在一所州立大学对289名护理专业学生开展。使用描述性特征表、全球气候变化意识量表、气候变化焦虑量表以及护理领域可持续发展态度调查问卷收集数据。采用均值和百分比分布、独立样本t检验、方差分析、Pearson相关性分析和多元回归分析对数据进行分析。本研究使用STROBE清单进行报告。
护理专业学生的全球气候变化意识处于中等水平，气候变化焦虑和护理领域可持续发展态度水平高于平均水平。经确定，气候变化意识与护理领域可持续发展态度之间、焦虑与护理领域可持续发展态度之间以及气候变化意识与焦虑之间存在中等程度的正相关。气候变化意识和焦虑解释了护理领域可持续发展态度的25.1%。
本研究提供了护理专业学生的全球气候变化意识与焦虑以及护理领域可持续发展态度之间关系的证据。建议将气候变化和可持续发展意识提升内容纳入护理课程。护理领域可持续发展态度的培养将有助于可持续和低碳医疗实践的发展。
