Detailed Description
This study evaluates the effect of a multidimensional educational intervention on nursing students' sustainable environmental attitudes and awareness of global climate change. The intervention consists of three components: an expert-led educational session on sustainable environment and health services, a peer-led educational session on sustainable environment, health, and climate change, and a short artificial intelligence-generated animation developed with expert input.
The study uses a single-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design. The participants are first-year undergraduate nursing students at a state university in Istanbul, Türkiye. Participants complete assessments at three time points: before the intervention (baseline), immediately after completion of the intervention, and four weeks after the intervention. Sustainable environmental attitudes are assessed using the Sustainable Environmental Education Attitude Scale, and awareness of global climate change is assessed using the Awareness Scale of University Students About Global Climate Change.
The study aims to determine whether this multidimensional educational approach can improve nursing students' attitudes toward sustainable environmental practices and their awareness of global climate change. The findings may contribute to the development of sustainability- and climate change-related educational strategies in undergraduate nursing education.

Experimental: Multidimensional Educational Intervention
Participants receive a multidimensional educational intervention consisting of three components: (1) an expert-led education session on sustainable environment and health services, (2) a peer-led education session on sustainable environment, health, and climate change, and (3) a short AI-generated animation on sustainable environment and climate change that is reviewed by experts.
The intervention is delivered to all participants in a single group.

Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
|
Sustainable Environmental Attitude
Time Frame: Baseline, immediately after the intervention, and 4 weeks after the intervention
|
Sustainable environmental attitudes will be assessed using the 30-item Sustainable Environmental Education Attitude Scale (SEEAS), developed by Afacan and Güler (2011).
The scale consists of six dimensions: consciousness toward sustainable environment, negative thoughts, volunteering, frugality, sensitivity, and economical consumption.
Items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale.
Higher scores indicate more positive attitudes toward sustainable environment.
The scale will be administered before the intervention, immediately after the intervention, and four weeks after the intervention.

Awareness of Global Climate Change
Time Frame: Baseline, immediately after the intervention, and 4 weeks after the intervention
|
Awareness of global climate change will be assessed using the 21-item Awareness Scale of University Students About Global Climate Change (ASUSGCC), developed by Deniz et al. (2021).
The scale consists of four dimensions: effects on the natural and human environment, awareness of global organizations and agreements, causes of climate change, and relationship with energy consumption.
Items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (not aware at all) to 5 (completely aware).
Total scores range from 21 to 105, with higher scores indicating greater awareness of global climate change.
The scale will be administered before the intervention, immediately after the intervention, and four weeks after the intervention.
