Peer lessons could cool climate anxiety in future nurses
NCT ID NCT07528976
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether teaching nursing students about climate change through peer-led sessions can increase their awareness and reduce their anxiety about it. Researchers will measure changes before and after the education. The goal is to see if this approach helps future nurses feel more prepared and less worried about climate-related health impacts.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Peer education sessions
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that peer education is a useful way to increase climate change awareness and manage related anxiety in nursing students.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 65 participants, so results may not apply broadly. It measures awareness and anxiety, not health outcomes.
