Could a new teaching approach make future nurses more Climate-Conscious?
NCT ID NCT07796009
First seen Aug 31, 2026 · Last updated Sep 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a multidimensional education program can improve nursing students' attitudes toward a sustainable environment and their awareness of global climate change. The program combines expert-led training, peer-led sessions, and an AI-generated animation. Researchers will measure students' attitudes and awareness before the training, right after it, and again four weeks later. The goal is to see if this approach can help prepare future nurses to address environmental health issues.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- A multidimensional educational program combining expert-led sessions, peer-led sessions, and an AI-generated animation on sustainable environment and climate change.
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this program could become a model for integrating climate and sustainability education into nursing curricula, helping future healthcare workers address environmental health challenges.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-group study without a control group, so improvements in attitudes or awareness might stem from other factors. The effects are measured over only four weeks, so long-term impact remains unknown.
