Area of Science:

  • Environmental Health
  • Nursing Science
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Nurses play a crucial role in addressing the health consequences of climate change.
  • Eco-nursing competencies, encompassing knowledge, attitudes, and skills, are vital for nurses.
  • These competencies enable nurses to mitigate and adapt to climate change's health and environmental effects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize existing literature on the roles and competencies of eco-nursing for healthcare professionals.
  • To identify and define the scope of eco-nursing roles and required competencies.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive scoping review was conducted on relevant published papers.
  • Databases searched included Academic Search Complete, CINAHL Plus, MEDLINE (PubMed), and Google Scholar.
  • Thematic analysis was employed to synthesize findings on nurses' roles and eco-nursing competencies.

Main Results:

  • Analysis of 31 papers revealed nurses' significant roles (42%) in climate change initiatives.
  • Key findings indicated a need for enhanced climate change knowledge and skills (64.5%) and specific attitudes (13%).
  • Identified roles included research, education, advocacy, leadership, and clinical practice, with competencies integrated into existing nursing frameworks.

Conclusions:

  • Nurses' engagement in climate change necessitates specialized knowledge, attitudes, and skills.
  • Future research should explore geographical variations in these roles and competencies, considering local disease burdens.
