- Brief Summary
Climate change represents a global crisis with far-reaching implications for health, including mental health. Among vulnerable populations, such as nursing students, climate change anxiety is emerging as a noteworthy concern. Recognizing the need to address this issue, our research aims to investigate the impact of a virtual-based program on climate change awareness, anxiety levels, and self-efficacy among nursing students. As future healthcare professionals, nursing students play a pivotal role in promoting sustainable health practices and addressing the health impacts of climate change. This study seeks to contribute valuable insights into the effectiveness of virtual interventions in raising awareness and enhancing the coping mechanisms of nursing students in the face of climate change challenges.
- Detailed Description
Aim:
To investigate the impact of a virtual-based awareness program on climate change anxiety, awareness, and self-efficacy among nursing students through a randomized control study.
The anticipated outcome is that the virtual-based program will positively influence nursing students' climate change perceptions, reduce climate change anxiety, and enhance environmental self-efficacy. The outcome will be assessed through pre- and post-intervention measurements using the respective tools, providing insights into the program's effectiveness in addressing these psychological and behavioral aspects related to climate change awareness and action among nursing students.
