Their lungs are developing, making children with asthma especially susceptible to temperature extremes, variations in precipitation, poor air quality, and changes in pollen and flora. Structural and social determinants of health, such as racism and poverty, that disproportionately affect children of color are linked to higher rates of asthma and negative effects of climate change. These factors lead to increased absences from school and social activities, loss of work for caregivers, and increased health care costs, thus negatively affecting children, their families, and the greater community. Nurses must support caregivers and children to link climate change to asthma care, be involved in health education; climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies and policies; and develop the evidence to address climate change and asthma strategies.

As global temperatures continue to rise and subsequent natural disasters occur with more intensity, children are taking notice and, as a result, experiencing what experts are calling \"eco-anxiety.\" Eco-anxiety, a term used to describe the negative emotions associated with climate change, is becoming more prevalent in children as they witness these extreme weather events and hear future dire scenarios laid out by scientists. Children are becoming acutely aware that their governments are not doing enough to protect them or their future, resulting in a distress that could be reduced if world governments became more committed to the fight to protect the planet from climate change. In the interim, there are nursing strategies to help children cope with their overwhelming sense of doom. By having their concerns validated, implementing strategies to feel more connected to the natural world, and becoming more empowered to take action to protect the planet, children can begin to feel more optimistic and confident about their futures.</p>","PeriodicalId":51121,"journal":{"name":"Mcn-The American Journal of Maternal-Child Nursing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9688184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
