Climate change represents a global crisis with far-reaching implications for health, including mental health. Among vulnerable populations, such as nursing students, climate change anxiety is emerging as a noteworthy concern. Recognizing the need to address this issue, our research aims to investigate the impact of a virtual-based program on climate change awareness, anxiety levels, and self-efficacy among nursing students. As future healthcare professionals, nursing students play a pivotal role in promoting sustainable health practices and addressing the health impacts of climate change. This study seeks to contribute valuable insights into the effectiveness of virtual interventions in raising awareness and enhancing the coping mechanisms of nursing students in the face of climate change challenges.
Aim:
to investigate the effect of a video-based climate change program on revitalizing eco-cognizance, emotional response, and self-efficacy among nursing students in rural communities when compared to a group who received flyers related to climate change across the globe.

Climate change perceptions
Climate change perceptions was developed to examine participants' views on the reality, causes, and outcomes of climate change. Respondents rated each 14 item on a 7-point scale, ranging from completely disagree to completely agree.
Time frame: 1 month
Environmental self-efficacy scale (ESE)
Environmental self-efficacy scale (ESE) developed by Bryton \& Alexander (2019). It is used to measure environmental self-efficacy. It consists of 20 items rated on a 11-point Likert scale, with 0 denotes cannot do at all, and 10 denotes highly certain can do, with higher scores indicating higher environmental self-efficacy.
Time frame: 1 month
Climate Change Anxiety Scale
The Climate Change Anxiety Scale, developed by Clayton and Karazsia in 2020, is a specialized instrument designed to measure the psychological distress associated with climate change. Comprising 13 items, respondents rate each item on a scale ranging from 1 (never) to 5 (almost always).
