Abstract
Background: This study examined the effectiveness of a global citizenship education program to improve nursing students' ability to meet sustainable development goals.
Method: This quasiexperimental study with a pretest-post-test design included 68 senior nursing students. Global citizenship education was delivered to the nursing students throughout nine sessions.
Results: Results indicated global citizenship education significantly increased the mean scores of intention to meet sustainable development goals of the nursing students in the intervention group (p < .05). Findings also demonstrated that global citizenship education increased intervention group students' attitudes regarding environment, economy, social, and education in line with sustainable development goals.
Conclusion: Integrating global citizenship education into the nursing curriculum encourages nursing education planners and educators to design and implement education for nursing students to achieve sustainable development goals. [J Nurs Educ. 2025;64(X):XXX-XXX.].
