Podcast-supported Education on Climate Change Awareness, Anxiety, and Health Literacy Levels in Nursing Students

The study was designed with a parallel-group randomized controlled experimental design to determine the effects of podcast-based education on climate change awareness and climate change health literacy levels of nursing students. A podcast-based climate change awareness education will be implemented as the study's intervention. Participants in both groups will complete a pre-test. The experimental group will then receive four sessions of podcast-based climate change awareness education, while the control group will receive no intervention during this phase. After the four sessions, both groups will complete a post-test simultaneously. Subsequently, participants in the control group will receive the same four-session podcast-based educational intervention. Following completion of these sessions, both groups will complete a follow-up assessment at the same time. Hypothesis 0-1: There is no difference in the level of climate change awareness between the experimental group receiving podcast-based education and the control group. Hypothesis 0-2: There is no difference in the level of climate change anxiety between the experimental group receiving podcast-based education and the control group. Hypothesis 0-3: There is no difference in the level of climate change health literacy between the experimental group receiving podcast-based education and the control group.

Climate Change Training for Primary Health Care Workers

Improving climate change awareness among primary care nurses is of great importance for the future of the health sector. Increasing this awareness enables primary care workers to combat environmental health problems more effectively and to adopt a more conscious approach to protecting public health. Climate change is a global public health problem that negatively affects fundamental determinants of health such as clean air, clean drinking water, food, and safe shelter. Nurses, in particular, must understand these environmental risks and develop strategies to ensure the sustainability of health services. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of climate change awareness training given to primary care nurses on their climate change awareness levels.

This study aims to evaluate the impact of a multidimensional educational intervention on sustainable environment and global climate change for nursing students. The intervention consists of expert training provided by an environmental engineer, peer training provided by a senior nursing student, and an AI-generated animation with expert input. Students' attitudes towards a sustainable environment and their awareness of global climate change were assessed before, immediately after, and four weeks after the training.

Climate Change Educational Program

Climate changes are the term used to describe the gradual rise in global temperatures, mostly accelerated by human activities. Climate changes are severe health emergency and considered the biggest threat to global health in the 21st century, which impacts on human health and the environment. Climate changes are a major global health concern that has become a top priority on the global health agenda

The Effect of Healthy Environment Education on Primary School Students' Attitudes Towards Environment

It is important to explain environmental literacy to every age group and segment of society and to raise awareness. Environmental education provided to younger age groups in particular teaches children to live in harmony with nature and not to become disconnected from it. Educational interventions in younger age groups can lead to them growing up with an awareness that, when they reach adulthood, enables them to behave consciously towards both their own lives and their environment. This is, in a sense, an important investment in the future. For this reason, the aim is to investigate the effect of Environmental Education on the Environmental Attitudes of Primary School Students and to examine the impact of the environmental education program titled "I Love and Protect My Environment" on the environmental attitudes and awareness levels of third-grade primary school students. The study predicts that the experimental group students will achieve a significant increase in their environmental attitudes and awareness scores compared to the control group. Furthermore, this effect is expected to be sustainable in follow-up measurements. The research results are expected to emphasize the importance of environmental education at the elementary school level and contribute to its integration into educational curricula.The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of Healthy Environment Education on the environmental attitudes of elementary school students. This study was designed as a three-month follow-up randomized controlled experimental design with pre-test and post-test. The population of the study consists of third-grade students attending Atatürk Elementary School in the central district of Kütahya province. The sample size was calculated using the G\*Power 3.1 program based on a 95% confidence level (α = .05), 80% test power (1-β = .80), and a medium effect size (Cohen's d = 0.5). According to these parameters, at least 57 participants are required for each group. In this regard, taking into account participant loss, 5% of participants will be added to each group, and 60 participants will be included in each group to increase the reliability of the analyses. The Introductory Information Form, Primary School Environmental Attitude Scale, and Primary School Environmental Awareness Scale developed by the researchers will be used as data collection tools. Data will be collected in the form of pre-tests, post-tests, and one- and three-month follow-up measurements. Descriptive statistical methods such as percentage, mean, mode, median, etc. will be used in statistical analyses. Depending on whether the study data are normally distributed, the Shapiro-Wilk or Kolmogorov-Smirnov test will be used to examine the sample size. If the study data show a normal distribution, t-tests (between two groups) or one-way ANOVA (for more than one group) will be used for group comparisons. If the data do not show a normal distribution, the Mann-Whitney U test or Kruskal-Wallis test will be used. Pearson or Spearman correlation analysis will be performed to determine the relationship between demographic factors and environmental attitudes. When it is necessary to examine the relationships between environmental attitudes and demographic and other independent variables, analyses will be performed using multiple regression analysis. Within the scope of the research, a 6-week "I Protect My Environment" education program will be implemented for the experimental group, while no intervention will be made for the control group throughout the study. It is planned to implement the education program for the students in the control group after the completion of the study.

Health and Nutritional Outcomes Among Young Females and Children in Southwest Bangladesh

This study aims to examine how societal and climate changes influence the nutritional status and fish consumption of young women over a 10 year period in southern Bangladesh, and how these factors affect their children's health. A cohort of 240 adolescents first studied in 2017 will be followed to assess changes in their dietary patterns, nutritional status, climate perceptions and mitigation practices, as well as the nutritional status of their children aged 6 months to 5 years. The study in 2017 sampled 60 adolescent girls in each of four rural communities, plus a semi-rural community around a fish processing plant, representing in total 5 communities. Of these 60 X 5 = 300 girls, the current study follows up the individuals in the rural communities representing a cohort of 240. Bangladesh faces high rates of adolescent malnutrition, with many girls married before 18 and suffering from chronic nutrient deficiencies. These issues have long-term impacts on health, productivity, and intergenerational well-being. By linking the fisheries and aquaculture sector, a key to Bangladesh's economy with public health and nutrition, this research aims to guide targeted policies for vulnerable coastal communities.
