Abstract

Climate change is recognised as one of the fundamental determinants of human health. Anxiety experienced in response to an ecological crisis is defined as eco-anxiety. This study aims to determine the eco-anxiety levels of nursing students and the relationship between eco-anxiety and their mental health. The sample of the cross-sectional correlation and descriptive study consisted of nursing students (N = 609) from two different universities in Istanbul. Data were collected with Personal Information Form, Eco-Anxiety Scale and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21). The data were analysed with SPSS (v.28) by using the Mann–Whitney U and Kruskal–Wallis tests, the Spearman correlation test and general linear model. It was determined that 84.2% of the participants were women and 60.8% were 18–20 years old. The participants' total Eco-Anxiety Scale score was 25.65 ± 7.49, and the total DASS-21 score was 21.24 ± 14.76. There is a statistically significant and positive relationship between the Eco-Anxiety Scale and DASS-21. Mental health nurses can play a key role in planning and raising awareness of interventions for eco-anxiety.

护理专业学生的心理健康：生态焦虑有何影响？

气候变化被认为是人类健康的基本决定因素之一。因生态危机而产生的焦虑被定义为生态焦虑。本研究旨在确定护理专业学生的生态焦虑水平以及生态焦虑与其心理健康之间的关系。这项横断面相关描述性研究的样本包括来自伊斯坦布尔两所不同大学的护理专业学生（N = 609）。通过个人信息表、生态焦虑量表和抑郁焦虑压力量表（DASS-21）收集数据。数据采用 SPSS（v.28）进行分析，使用了 Mann-Whitney U 和 Kruskal-Wallis 检验、Spearman 相关性检验和一般线性模型。结果表明，84.2% 的参与者为女性，60.8% 的参与者年龄在 18-20 岁之间。参与者的生态焦虑量表总分为（25.65 ± 7.49）分，DASS-21 总分为（21.24 ± 14.76）分。在统计学上，生态焦虑量表和 DASS-21 之间存在明显的正相关关系。心理健康护士在规划和提高生态焦虑干预意识方面可以发挥关键作用。
