Towards a greener future: nursing students' climate consciousness and green purchasing intentions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hospitals generate significant amounts of waste that can harm the environment. Nurses' awareness and positive attitude towards green products drive them to maintain a clean environment and reduce climate change by purchasing eco-friendly products. This study assesses nursing students' awareness and attitudes toward climate change and their correlation with the inclination to purchase green products.

Method

A descriptive correlational design was used for the study, covering five geographic areas in Egypt. A total of 1,400 nursing students from public universities were included in a convenience sample. Data were collected using three instruments: awareness towards climate change, attitude towards climate change, and green purchasing intentions.
