Integrating Climate Change Topics Into Nursing Curricula
The Journal of Nursing Education
|June 4, 2019
Summary
Nurses are leading climate change education for health professionals. A new center integrates climate change into nursing curricula to prepare future healthcare providers for climate-related health challenges.
Area of Science:
- Environmental Health
- Climate Change and Health
- Nursing Education
Background:
- Health professionals play a crucial role in addressing climate change's health impacts.
- Key roles include patient care, education, and policy advocacy.
- Climate change poses significant risks to human health.
Purpose of the Study:
- To establish a nurse-led initiative focused on climate change, climate justice, and health.
- To address the need for integrating climate change education into health professions training.
Main Methods:
- Development of the first nurse-led Center for Climate Change, Climate Justice and Health (CCCCJH).
- Formation of a steering committee comprising nurse climate change scholars and faculty.
- Creation of a mission, vision, core values, and strategic plan for the center.
Main Results:
- The CCCCJH has established its foundational framework and strategic direction.
- Active efforts are underway to integrate climate change topics across all levels of nursing curricula.
- Nurse-led scholarship in climate change is being fostered.
Conclusions:
- Nurses are ideally positioned to enhance awareness of climate change health impacts among health professionals and students.
- Integrating climate change into nursing curricula is essential for preparing future nurses.
- This initiative aims to equip students to manage future health challenges posed by climate change.

Global Climate Change
28.8K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

What is Climate?
20.6K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

Work Done During Volume Change
5.1K
In mechanics, work is done on an object when the force acting on it displaces the object. In thermodynamics, work done on a system can be estimated when the system's volume changes during any thermodynamic process.
Consider a gas confined to a cylinder fitted with a movable piston at one end. If the gas expands from volume V1 to volume V2, it exerts a force on the piston, such that the piston moves by a distance dr.
The work done by the gas on the piston can be expressed as

Net Change Theorem
66
The Net Change Theorem is a fundamental principle in calculus that establishes a direct relationship between a function’s rate of change and its accumulated change over an interval. Mathematically, it states that the definite integral of a function's derivative over a given interval [a,b] yields the net change in the original function:This theorem has significant applications in various real-world scenarios, including physics, economics, and engineering. A particularly useful application...

Standard Entropy Change for a Reaction
24.1K
Entropy is a state function, so the standard entropy change for a chemical reaction (ΔS°rxn) can be calculated from the difference in standard entropy between the products and the reactants.

Le Chatelier's Principle: Changing Temperature
35.1K
Consistent with the law of mass action, an equilibrium stressed by a change in concentration will shift to re-establish equilibrium without any change in the value of the equilibrium constant, K. When an equilibrium shifts in response to a temperature change, however, it is re-established with a different relative composition that exhibits a different value for the equilibrium constant.
To understand this phenomenon, consider the elementary reaction:
