About this study
This study is conducted to examine the effect of climate change and global warming-based education given to nursing students on their environmental attitudes. The research was planned as a randomized controlled experimental. According to the posthoc power analysis, it was determined that the type one error amount was 0.05 with a medium effect size and the power of the study was 94% when 110 participants were taken. The data were included from the 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades of a nursing faculty in eastern Turkey. Assignments were made to experimental and control groups by randomization. Personal information form and environmental attitude scale were used to collect data.
Read the detailed description
Climate change and global warming are a global public health problem. This situation, which affects all masses, also deeply affects human life. Future nurses need to have high awareness of this situation and educate and inform the society about this situation. Nurse students' environmental attitudes, knowledge and behavior towards the environment need to be increased. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of global warming and climate change-based education given to nursing students on their environmental attitudes.The research was planned as a randomized controlled experimental.
