Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between nursing students' future anxiety and awareness of global climate change.

Method: The population of this correlational descriptive study consisted of nursing students studying at a nursing faculty. Three hundred and thirty nursing students were included in the study. The researcher collected data through google forms using a Descriptive Characteristics Form, the Awareness Scale of University Students About Global Climate Change (ASUSGCC) and the Future Anxiety Scale in University Students (FASUS) between March and May 2024.

Results: The ASUSGCC total mean score of the nursing students was 3.43 ± 0.88. Their FASUS total mean score was 61.39 ± 12.98. There was a statistically significant positive, weak correlation between their ASUSGCC and FASUS total mean scores (p < .05).

Conclusion: It was found that the nursing students had a moderate level of awareness about global climate change. It can be asserted that the participants had a moderate level of future anxiety based on their FASUS total mean score. In the study, as their level of awareness about climate change elevated, did so their level of future anxiety.

护生未来焦虑与全球气候变化意识的关系。

目的：本研究旨在探讨护生未来焦虑与全球气候变化意识的关系。方法：本相关描述性研究的人群包括在护理学院学习的护理学生。330名护理专业学生参与了这项研究。研究人员在2024年3月至5月期间使用描述性特征表、大学生全球气候变化意识量表（ASUSGCC）和大学生未来焦虑量表（FASUS）通过谷歌表格收集数据。结果：护生ASUSGCC总分平均为3.43±0.88分。FASUS总分平均61.39±12.98分。结论：护生对全球气候变化的认知水平处于中等水平。根据他们的FASUS总平均分，可以断言参与者具有中等水平的未来焦虑。在这项研究中，随着他们对气候变化的认识水平提高，他们对未来的焦虑程度也随之提高。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Social Psychiatry, established in 1954, is a leading publication dedicated to the field of social psychiatry. It serves as a platform for the exchange of research findings and discussions on the influence of social, environmental, and cultural factors on mental health and well-being. The journal is particularly relevant to psychiatrists and multidisciplinary professionals globally who are interested in understanding the broader context of psychiatric disorders and their impact on individuals and communities. Social psychiatry, as a discipline, focuses on the origins and outcomes of mental health issues within a social framework, recognizing the interplay between societal structures and individual mental health. The journal draws connections with related fields such as social anthropology, cultural psychiatry, and sociology, and is influenced by the latest developments in these areas. The journal also places a special emphasis on fast-track publication for brief communications, ensuring that timely and significant research can be disseminated quickly. Additionally, it strives to reflect its international readership by publishing state-of-the-art reviews from various regions around the world, showcasing the diverse practices and perspectives within the psychiatric disciplines. This approach not only contributes to the scientific understanding of social psychiatry but also supports the global exchange of knowledge and best practices in mental health care.
