Objective:
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of global climate change concern on environmental sensitivity in nursing students.
Design:
This study was descriptive, cross-sectional, and correlational.
Sample:
The study was conducted with undergraduate nursing students (n = 350).
Method:
Descriptive Information Form, Climate Change Worry Scale, and Environmental Sensitivity Scale were used as data collection tools in the study. The relationship between global climate change concern and environmental sensitivity of nursing students was evaluated by Pearson correlation analysis, and the effect of climate change concern on environmental sensitivity of nursing students was evaluated by simple regression analysis.
Results:
It was determined that there was a positive and moderately significant relationship between the mean total scores of the Climate Change Concern Scale and the mean total scores of the Environmental Sensitivity Scale (r = 0.388, p < 0.001).
Conclusions:
As a result of this study, it was found that as nursing students' concern about global climate change increased, their sensitivity toward the environment also increased.
