Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to determine nursing students' awareness of global climate change.

Design: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 302 undergraduate nursing students from a foundation university in Northern Cyprus during the spring semester of the 2021-2022 academic year. A descriptive information form and the Awareness Scale of University Students about Global Climate Change (ASUSGCC) were used for data collection.

Results: The mean ASUSGCC score was 3.54 ± 0.64, and the participants received the lowest and highest scores from the awareness of the causes of global climate change (3.54 ± 0.64) and awareness of the effects of global climate change on the natural and human environment (4.03 ± 0.70) subscales, respectively. A statistically significant difference was observed between the Global Climate Change scores and the year of education, with fourth-year students obtaining significantly higher scores (p < .05).

Conclusions: The study found that nursing students have a moderate level of awareness of global climate change. To raise the level of awareness among these undergraduates, who will be future healthcare professionals, we recommend including climate change awareness in the national nursing curricula.

护理专业学生对全球气候变化的认识：一项描述性横断面研究。

目的：本研究旨在了解护理专业学生对全球气候变化的认识：本研究旨在了解护理专业学生对全球气候变化的认识：这项描述性横断面研究在 2021-2022 学年春季学期对来自北塞浦路斯一所基础大学的 302 名护理专业本科生进行了调查。数据收集采用了描述性信息表和大学生全球气候变化意识量表（ASUSGCC）：大学生全球气候变化意识量表（ASUSGCC）的平均得分为 3.54 ± 0.64，参与者在 "对全球气候变化原因的认识"（3.54 ± 0.64）和 "对全球气候变化对自然和人类环境影响的认识"（4.03 ± 0.70）两个分量表中的得分分别最低和最高。全球气候变化得分与就读年级之间存在统计学差异，大四学生得分明显更高（P 结论：大四学生对全球气候变化的认识与就读年级之间存在统计学差异：研究发现，护理专业学生对全球气候变化的认识水平一般。为了提高这些即将成为未来医疗保健专业人员的本科生的认识水平，我们建议将气候变化意识纳入国家护理课程。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
