About this trial
Climate change is a major global problem threatening individual health, public health, and health systems. Climate change poses a significant global threat to social and environmental health determinants, such as the disruption of food systems, the spread of climate-sensitive diseases, and the increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that climate change will cause approximately 250,000 additional deaths annually from malaria, diarrhea, malnutrition, and heat stress between 2030 and 2050. In this context, nursing students, as future healthcare providers, need to be prepared and knowledgeable about global warming, climate change and its impacts on health, climate change mitigation, adaptation and resilience, and the promotion of a healthy environment for a sustainable future. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of climate change education on nursing students' knowledge and attitudes regarding climate change and health.

Climate, Health, and Nursing Tool
The Climate, Health, and Nursing Tool (CHANT) was developed by Schenk and colleagues (2016). The Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted by Yalçın and Aktaş, and the scale can be used to assess awareness of climate change as well as knowledge and attitudes regarding the climate-health relationship. The scale consists of 48 items and five subdimensions: knowledge, awareness, motivation, concern, and behaviors. There is no total scale score; instead, evaluations are based on subdimension scores. In the validity and reliability analysis, the Cronbach's alpha value for the overall scale was reported as 0.93; for the knowledge subdimension 0.78, for awareness 0.97, for motivation 0.89, for concern 0.95, and for behaviors 0.94.
