Sponsor: Dicle University
Summary
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of climate change education provided to pregnant women on climate change awareness, climate change anxiety, and psychosocial health. Materials and Methods: This single-group, pretest-posttest quasi-experimental study was conducted between January and March 2026 at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Outpatient Clinic of Dicle University Hospital. The study included 75 pregnant women. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, the Climate Change Awareness Scale for Pregnant Women (CCAS-PW), the Climate Change Anxiety Scale (CCAS), and the Psychosocial Health Assessment Scale in Pregnancy (PHASP). Participants received education on climate change and its effects on pregnancy. Descriptive statistics, including frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations, were used to summarize the data. Pretest and posttest measurements were compared using the paired-samples t-test. Keywords: Pregnancy, Climate change, Awareness, Anxiety, Psychosocial health.

Climate Change Education
Participants received an approximately 30-minute individual climate change education session. The education addressed climate change and its potential effects on pregnancy and maternal and fetal health, including the effects of extreme heat and air pollution, potential fetal effects, psychosocial effects, and protective measures that can be taken during pregnancy. The education was delivered face-to-face by the researcher, and participants were provided with an educational brochure after the session. Post-intervention assessments were conducted four hours after the education.
