Video-Based Climate Change Program on Revitalizing Eco-Cognizance, Emotional Response, and Self-efficacy Among Nursing Students in Rural Communities: A Randomized Controlled Study
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.
Aim:
to investigate the effect of a video-based climate change program on revitalizing eco-cognizance, emotional response, and self-efficacy among nursing students in rural communities when compared to a group who received flyers related to climate change across the globe.
