First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a peer-supported education program can increase nursing students' awareness of climate change and its effects on health. Around 90 nursing students will receive training from fellow students and complete surveys before and after to measure changes in their awareness. The goal is to see if this approach can better prepare future nurses to adopt eco-friendly practices in healthcare.
