Diagnostics of care about environment: A systematic review through nursing taxonomies

Abstract

During recent years, there has been growing global concern for the environment and its impact on health. In 2015, the United Nations approved the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a framework for joint action by all countries that addresses the social, environmental, economic and political determinants of health United Nations General Assembly, 2015). This framework of SDG includes elements such as housing, water, sanitation, unemployment or education to promote prosperity and protect the planet from climate change (United Nations, 2019).

The lack of a known effective treatment to cure the SARS-CoV-2 disease has focused efforts on implementing measures to slow the spread of the virus. Control of environmental factors and social relationships are key elements (World Health Organization, 2020a).
