Abstract
Context: One of the biggest challenges the world is dealing with right now is climate change, whose
detrimental effects could be catastrophic and endanger human survival. For this reasonIt's crucial for
everyone, in especially the academic community, to fully grasp the nature of climate change and the
range of solutions that are now being considered. Aim: To assess how different educational
approaches impact people's understanding, views, and attitudes about changing of climate and its
health special effects. Methods: To achieve these aims, the study used a quasi-experimental design
with pre- and post-group evaluations. . Setting: A college of nursing at Benha University in Egypt's
Qalyubia region was the site of this research. Subjects: During the data collecting phase, 303 male
and female second-year students were recruited to participate in the study. Study Tool: 3 tools for
collection of data were used as follow: (1) Structured interviewing questionnaire. (2) Perception scale
regarding climate change. (3) Attitudes scale regarding climate change. Results: The studied nursing
students had good knowledge level post educational strategies implementation than pre, as regard to
total perception level found that improved post educational strategies implementation with high
perception level, also, total attitude level improved to positive attitude post education strategies
implementation. Conclusion: Improved knowledge, perception, and attitude were attained by
nursing students through the use of educational strategies initiatives about changing of climate and its
effect on health. Attitude and Perception. Recommendation: To better generalize the results, A
bigger sample size and more sites should be used to conduct a comparable study.
