Background:
Sustainability represents an increasingly vital yet inconsistently implemented topic in nursing education. Formal concept analysis can promote unified conceptualisation to inform sustainability integration in nursing curriculums.
Objective:
Analyse the concept of 'nursing education for sustainable development' using the Walker and Avant framework to clarify meaning and application in nursing programmes.
Method:
The literature was systematically searched for attributes, antecedents and consequences used to formulate a concept definition, and compared to existing conceptualisations.
Results:
Core concept attributes are interconnectedness of human/ecological health, sustainability-focused curriculums, competency cultivation and social justice orientations. Antecedents include recognising ecological determinants of health and committed nursing faculty. Consequences encompass the preparation of sustainability-competent nurses and elevated nursing contributions to sustainable health systems.
Conclusion:
The concept analysis provides an original synthesised perspective advancing coherence and applicability to guide sustainability education in nursing programmes through a translational framework for competency, curriculum design and content delivery approaches.
Reporting Method:
We followed the guidelines outlined in the Walker and Avant framework in the conduct and reporting of this paper.
Patient Or Public Contribution:
No patient and public contribution.
