Effects of Climate Change Education on Pregnant Women
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.
