Study summary

This study aims to evaluate the impact of a multidimensional educational intervention on sustainable environment and global climate change for nursing students. The intervention consists of expert training provided by an environmental engineer, peer training provided by a senior nursing student, and an AI-generated animation with expert input. Students' attitudes towards a sustainable environment and their awareness of global climate change were assessed before, immediately after, and four weeks after the training.

Read the 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.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

Study arms

  • 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.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Sustainable Environmental Attitude

    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.

    Time frame: Baseline, immediately after the intervention, and 4 weeks after the intervention

  2. Awareness of Global Climate Change

    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.

    Time frame: Baseline, immediately after the intervention, and 4 weeks after the intervention

ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from May 2026 to primary completion in May 2026, 0 months.

Of 741 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Behavior, half reached primary completion within 14 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 32. This study's 0 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 757 studies reached it within 13 months; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 32.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 31, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
