“…In order to increase environmental awareness and attitudes, topics such as waste management or sustainable use of resources during the performance of nursing practice should be incorporated in the training programs of the nursing degree. Sessions on sustainability, climate change, and health for nursing students has been implemented to highlight their relevance in professional practice and increase environmental awareness and attitudes to take action against climate change and its effects on health [ 3 , 18 , 22 ]. Making changes in nursing curriculums will not only increase nursing’s leadership capacity, but also make nursing boards and licensing councils reconsider the importance of fundamental climate change knowledge as a prerequisite for licensure [ 1 ].…”

“…The current pandemic provides further validation that creating a healthier, fairer, and greener world will be needed to resuscitate economies hit by the effects of COVID-19 [ 1 , 2 ]. The effects of global warming and climate change have the potential to affect public health adversely, and are emerging as important and urgent public health problems [ 3 ]. The reality of climate change is inextricable from human health.…”

“…The integration of climate change into nursing education is essential and requires that knowledge, skills, and insights critical for clinical practice in our climate-changing world are incorporated in curricula, practice, research, and policy [ 7 ]. Global warming and climate change are sensitive and important issues that cannot be handled and evaluated only at the level of knowledge, as only the knowledge of these topics is not related to the awareness, attitudes, and behaviors of nursing students [ 3 ].…”

Background Mainstreaming sustainable healthcare into the curricula of health professions is a key action to raise awareness and change attitudes. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the contribution of scenario-based learning and augmented reality to the environmental awareness and attitudes toward climate change and sustainability among undergraduate nursing students. Methods This study was designed as a time-series analysis. Undergraduate nursing students in their 3 years were introduced to sustainability and climate change in the context of healthcare through scenario-based learning sessions. Questionnaires were used to collect data on participants’ attitudes towards sustainability and climate change, the usefulness of the educational sessions and the extent to which students changed their clinical practice. A data summary, related sample Friedman and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used to test for differences in survey scores. Results Attitudes and environmental awareness toward climate change and sustainability increased significantly as students received the learning sessions over the 3 years. After their first clinical training period, students already showed a high awareness of unsustainable practices in their working environment; however, they still struggled to apply sustainability and address unsustainable practices in healthcare settings. Most students felt that the scenarios helped them to make links between climate change, resources, and health. Conclusions The scenario-based learning and augmented reality increase environmental awareness and attitudes toward climate change and sustainability among nursing students. Students are very aware of unsustainable practices in their work environment, but more work needs to be done on the application of sustainability principles to nursing practice.

“…In this ethnographic study of n = 22 Canadian nurses, the participants understood that the environment influenced health, but they expressed lack of clarity on the nursing role in climate change. A mixed‐methods study in Turkey examined undergraduate public health nursing students ( N = 154) and their knowledge and awareness of global warming, climate change, and the role of nurses on these issues using the Global Warming Questionnaire (Ergin et al., 2021). Most of these students reported not having formal training on climate change, but possessing a general understanding of global warming and climate change (Ergin et al., 2021).…”

Objective: To confirm the factor structure of the Climate, Health, and Nursing Tool (CHANT) tool via confirmatory factor analysis.Design and sample: This is a cross-sectional analysis of voluntary, anonymous responses collected online in 2019, from a non-representative sample of 489 nurses from 12 nations with 95% of the respondents from the United States. Measurements:A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted to test a fivefactor measurement model of the 22-item CHANT. Reliability was examined via Cronbach's α coefficient. Results:The five CHANT subscales demonstrated acceptable reliability with Cronbach's α ranging from 0.67 to 0.91. The five-factor model of CHANT demonstrated good fit, x 2 (199) = 582.747, p < .001, CFI = 0.94, RMSEA = 0.06, and SRMR = 0.04 with statistically significant item-factor loadings. Conclusion:CHANT is a reliable and robust instrument to measure nurses' awareness, concern, motivation, and home and work behaviors regarding climate change and health, and is ready to be utilized in research, policy, professional settings, and among educators.

As a green photocatalyst, TiO2 has been widely used in adsorption, desorption and redox reaction, but the wide energy band and moderate visible light absorption have greatly inhibited its applications in photocatalysis. The effective method of enhancing the performance of catalysts is the development of heterojunction and metal‐nonmetal co‐doping. Herein, Fe‐N co‐doped TiO2 heterojunction photocatalysts (FexTi@C) were successfully synthesized by calcining a self‐sacrificial template (NH2‐MIL‐125(Ti)) injected with Fe3+ solution. X‐ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), N2 adsorption/desorption analysis, and photoelectrochemical tests were used to characterize FexTi@C, showing multiple rutile/anatase TiO2 heterojunction structure, low bandgap, and significant absorption in visible light. In addition, the Ti‐O‐Fe tetrahedra and more oxygen vacancies were provided since the doped N is from the pristine MOF and the radii of Fe3+ and Ti4+ are similar, which improved the photocatalytic efficiency of CO2 reduction to CH4, especially the Fe0.8Ti@C reached 7.8‐fold and 10.2‐fold CH4 yield increase compared with the original TiMOF template and the undoped Ti@C, respectively. This work presents a simple method for the fabrication of low bandgap semiconductors, and also makes a new attempt at the synergistic effect between the in‐situ elements and valence bonds of MOF‐derived catalysts.
