Can a One-Day climate course change how nurses see public health?
NCT ID NCT07809035
First seen Sep 09, 2026 · Last updated Sep 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers at Maltepe University are testing whether a one-day, scenario-based training program raises climate change awareness among primary care nurses and midwives. About 80 nurses and midwives working in family health centers, migrant health centers, and a district health directorate take part. One group receives the training first, while the other waits and receives it later. Both groups complete a 52-item awareness questionnaire before, immediately after, and one month after the training.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- scenario-based climate change awareness training
- What this could lead to
- If the training raises awareness, it could give clinics a low-cost way to prepare nurses and midwives for climate-related health pressures.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-site education study with 80 participants. Higher scores on a questionnaire may not translate into lasting changes in daily practice, and the results may not apply to other settings.
