Abstract

The term Planetary Health has been used in mainstream narrative in the past decades, but the term has only recently gained traction in nursing literature. Nurses are highly trusted and well-positioned to play an integral role in planetary health, by addressing the various challenges and health effects associated with planetary health decline.

Issue

While the traditional scope of nursing practice includes health promotion, and illness, injury, and disease prevention, planetary health incorporates broader issues such as climate change, pollution, biodiversity loss, resource scarcity, and marine degradation. Nurses may lack knowledge and confidence regarding planetary health issues, which may correlate to inadequate confidence and feelings of unpreparedness in practice. Therefore, planetary health presents as a pragmatic theoretical framework for nursing education, practice, and research.

Purpose

The purpose of this manuscript is to advocate for the applicability of planetary health for nursing practice, education, and research, incorporating an example of a research study that examined nurses' perceptions toward climate sensitive vector-borne diseases. Planetary health challenges are threatening human health globally, and nurses must be prepared to preserve human and planetary health.

行星健康：指导护理教育、研究和实践的实用理论框架

在过去的几十年里，“行星健康”一词一直被主流叙事所使用，但这个词直到最近才在护理文献中得到关注。护士受到高度信任，能够通过应对与全球健康衰退相关的各种挑战和健康影响，在全球健康领域发挥不可或缺的作用。虽然护理实践的传统范围包括促进健康、疾病、伤害和疾病预防，但行星健康包括更广泛的问题，如气候变化、污染、生物多样性丧失、资源稀缺和海洋退化。护士可能缺乏关于全球健康问题的知识和信心，这可能与信心不足和在实践中缺乏准备的感觉有关。因此，行星健康呈现为护理教育，实践和研究的实用理论框架。目的：本文的目的是倡导地球健康在护理实践、教育和研究中的适用性，并结合了一个研究研究的例子，该研究调查了护士对气候敏感媒介传播疾病的看法。全球健康挑战正在威胁全球人类健康，护士必须做好维护人类和地球健康的准备。
