Abstract
Background: Due to the substantial changes in temperature, precipitation patterns, and ecosystems brought about by climate change, children's health and general well-being are at considerable risk. Aim: This research aimed to assess maximizing students’ awareness regarding sustainability and the effects of climate change on child health. Design: An awareness format program with pre- and post- tests was used in a quasi-experimental design. Setting: Ain Shams University's Faculty of Nursing's Department of Pediatric Nursing served as the study's location. The study's sample consisted of all 255 students enrolled in pediatric nursing programs at the designated site. Data Collection Tools: Data were gathered using (1) a structured interview questionnaire, (2) the Sustainability Consciousness Questionnaire (SCQ-S), and (3) student outcome evaluations. Results: Students' understanding of sustainability and the effects of climate change on children's health was lacking prior to the intervention. But after the awareness, there was a statistically significant improvement. Prior to and following the awareness campaign, students' knowledge and practice showed a good association. Conclusion: The awareness training greatly improved the pediatric nursing students' comprehension of sustainability and how climate change affects children's health. Additionally, students offered creative suggestions for implementing sustainable practices in pediatric healthcare settings. Recommendation: It is essential to further promote pediatric nursing students' awareness of sustainability and its role in mitigating climate change impacts.
