Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study is to examine the relationships between green self-efficacy, environmental literacy, and environmental attitude and to investigate the mediating role of environmental literacy in the relationship between green self-efficacy and environmental attitude among pharmacy students.

Methods: This research was descriptive and correlational.

Results: In total, 870 students' questionnaires were found to be valid for analysis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the inaugural study to examine the relationship between green self-efficacy, environmental attitude, and environmental health literacy levels among pharmacy students. This study concluded that environmental health literacy plays a mediating role in the link between green self-efficacy and environmental attitude among pharmacy students.

Conclusion: It is imperative for educators to cultivate learning environments that will enhance environmental health literacy, thereby fortifying green self-efficacy. Such initiatives have the potential to motivate students to adopt eco-friendly approaches in their pharmaceutical practices. In addition, it is imperative to integrate environmental awareness and sustainability themes into practical education processes, complementing them with theoretical knowledge.

环境可持续性与药学学生：环境健康素养在绿色自我效能感与环境态度之间的中介作用。

摘要目的：本研究旨在探讨药学学生绿色自我效能感、环境素养与环境态度之间的关系，并探讨环境素养在绿色自我效能感与环境态度之间的中介作用。方法：本研究采用描述性、相关性研究。结果：共收集到870份有效问卷进行分析。据我们所知，这是第一个研究绿色自我效能、环境态度和药学学生环境健康素养水平之间关系的研究。本研究发现，环境健康素养在药学学生绿色自我效能感与环境态度的关系中起中介作用。结论：教育工作者必须营造有利于提高环境健康素养的学习环境，从而增强绿色自我效能感。这些举措有可能激励学生在他们的制药实践中采用环保方法。此外，必须将环境意识和可持续发展主题纳入实际教育过程，并用理论知识加以补充。
