About this study
Official title: The Impact of Multidimensional Education on Nursing Students' Sustainable Environment Attitudes and Awareness of Climate Change
This study aims to evaluate the impact of a multidimensional educational intervention on sustainable environment and global climate change for nursing students. The intervention consists of expert training provided by an environmental engineer, peer training provided by a senior nursing student, and an AI-generated animation with expert input. Students' attitudes towards a sustainable environment and their awareness of global climate change were assessed before, immediately after, and four weeks after the training.
Read the detailed description
This study evaluates the effect of a multidimensional educational intervention on nursing students' sustainable environmental attitudes and awareness of global climate change. The intervention consists of three components: an expert-led educational session on sustainable environment and health services, a peer-led educational session on sustainable environment, health, and climate change, and a short artificial intelligence-generated animation developed with expert input.
The study uses a single-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design. The participants are first-year undergraduate nursing students at a state university in Istanbul, Türkiye. Participants complete assessments at three time points: before the intervention (baseline), immediately after completion of the intervention, and four weeks after the intervention. Sustainable environmental attitudes are assessed using the Sustainable Environmental Education Attitude Scale, and awareness of global climate change is assessed using the Awareness Scale of University Students About Global Climate Change.
The study aims to determine whether this multidimensional educational approach can improve nursing students' attitudes toward sustainable environmental practices and their awareness of global climate change. The findings may contribute to the development of sustainability- and climate change-related educational strategies in undergraduate nursing education.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Multidimensional Educational InterventionBehavioural
The intervention consists of three components: an expert-led education session on sustainable environment and health services, a peer-led education session on sustainable environment, health, and climate change, and a short AI-generated animation reviewed by experts. The intervention is delivered to all participants in a single group.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Multidimensional Educational Intervention | Experimental | Participants receive a multidimensional educational intervention consisting of three components: (1) an expert-led education session on sustainable environment and health services, (2) a peer-led education session on sustainable environment, health, and climate change, and (3) a short AI-generated animation on sustainable environment and climate change that is reviewed by experts. The intervention is delivered to all participants in a single group. Receives: Behavioral: Multidimensional Educational Intervention |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Sustainable Environmental Attitude
Sustainable environmental attitudes will be assessed using the 30-item Sustainable Environmental Education Attitude Scale (SEEAS), developed by Afacan and Güler (2011). The scale consists of six dimensions: consciousness toward sustainable environment, negative thoughts, volunteering, frugality, sensitivity, and economical consumption. Items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale. Higher scores indicate more positive attitudes toward sustainable environment. The scale will be administered before the intervention, immediately after the intervention, and four weeks after the intervention.
Measured: Baseline, immediately after the intervention, and 4 weeks after the intervention
Awareness of Global Climate Change
Awareness of global climate change will be assessed using the 21-item Awareness Scale of University Students About Global Climate Change (ASUSGCC), developed by Deniz et al. (2021). The scale consists of four dimensions: effects on the natural and human environment, awareness of global organizations and agreements, causes of climate change, and relationship with energy consumption. Items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (not aware at all) to 5 (completely aware). Total scores range from 21 to 105, with higher scores indicating greater awareness of global climate change. The scale will be administered before the intervention, immediately after the intervention, and four weeks after the intervention.
Measured: Baseline, immediately after the intervention, and 4 weeks after the intervention
