Abstract

BackgroundHuman activities have significantly contributed to a persistent climate change trend, posing substantial threats to human health. Nurses regularly interact with patients experiencing the consequences of climate change, making their engagement in addressing this issue crucial. Nonetheless, our understanding of nurses' viewpoints regarding climate change remains limited.AimThis scoping review aims to identify practicing nurses' and nursing students' perceptions of climate change.DesignTo fulfil this objective, a documentary search strategy was developed using an iterative process.MethodsThe search strategy was tested in four bibliographic databases, as well as in the grey literature. A 2‐stage selection process was conducted, and relevant data were extracted from selected articles for analysis.ResultsTwenty‐two scientific articles and 11 documents from nursing associations were selected. The findings suggest that while many nurses and nursing students are concerned about climate change and its effects on their patients' health, their role in addressing the climate crisis is not well understood. Many barriers such as having a heavy workload and the lack of support hindered their ability to adjust their practice in response to the changing climate. Furthermore, many expressed a need for trainings on climate change issues.ConclusionsThese results raise a great and urgent demand for these professionals to receive appropriate training to cope with climatic threats to health. Future research should focus on the development of nursing climate leadership, and healthcare organizations should support nursing initiatives and help raise nurses' awareness regarding climate change.
执业护士和护理专业学生对气候变化的看法:范围界定审查
背景人类活动在很大程度上造成了持续的气候变化趋势,对人类健康构成了巨大威胁。护士经常与遭受气候变化影响的患者打交道,因此她们参与解决这一问题至关重要。为实现这一目标,我们采用迭代过程制定了文献检索策略。方法在四个文献数据库以及灰色文献中测试了该检索策略。结果选取了 22 篇科学文章和 11 篇护理协会文献。研究结果表明,虽然许多护士和护理专业学生都关注气候变化及其对患者健康的影响,但他们在应对气候危机中的作用却没有得到很好的理解。许多障碍,如繁重的工作量和缺乏支持,阻碍了他们调整实践以应对气候变化的能力。此外,许多人表示需要接受有关气候变化问题的培训。未来的研究应侧重于培养护理人员的气候领导力,医疗机构应支持护理倡议,帮助提高护士对气候变化的认识。
