About this study
Official title: Video-Based Climate Change Program on Revitalizing Eco-Cognizance, Emotional Response, and Self-efficacy Among Nursing Students in Rural Communities: A Randomized Controlled Study
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.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
video-based climate change programBehavioural
The participants in this group received a series of short videos, ranging between 30- 45 minutes/ each video revolved around five core themes including The road start to green planet, The ripple effect climate change on Health, Climate Change Literacy, Strengthen resilience to overcome climate related- psychological impacts, and Sustaining phase: closing session.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
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.
Measured: 1 month
Secondary outcomes (2)
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.
Measured: 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).
Measured: 1 month
