“…It prevents pollution and advocates clean and productive ecosystems and promotes the sustainable use of natural resources (Association of Perioperative Nurses [AORN], 2020; Topf, 2005). Environmental responsibility is value‐based and linked to nurses' professional ethics (AORN, 2020; Harris, Pisa, Talioaga, & Vezeau, 2009; Kangasniemi et al, 2014) and their social responsibility to protect the environment (ICN, 2018; Peres et al., 2014) that humankind is dependent on (American Association of Colleges of Nursing, 2014; Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 2019). In nurses' clinical practice, environmental responsibility focuses on optimal, effective material and energy use processes (Kallio et al., 2018; Kangasniemi et al., 2014).…”

“…These include the knowledge and skills needed to plan and optimise the use of products and energy (Álvarez‐Nieto et al., 2018; Schenk, Butterfield, Postma, Barbosa‐Leiker, & Corbett, 2015). In addition, studies have reported that pro‐environmental attitudes have been crucial when developing responsible practices (Griggs, Fernandez, & Callanan, 2017; Peres et al., 2014; Topf, 2005). However, nurses' awareness of environmental responsibility in nursing and health care has been reported to be relatively low (Álvarez‐Nieto et al., 2018; Richardson, Grose, Doman, & Kelsey, 2014).…”

Objectives: To identify nurses' views on environmentally responsible clinical practices, and to examine their consensus regarding the stakeholders and their roles and tools needed to promote, and enable, environmental responsibility in clinical practice. Background: Using materials and energy in hospitals has a negative impact on the environment and people's environmental health. Research on decreasing this burden in clinical practice is sparse. Design: A modified Delphi method with two rounds. Methods: Data were collected from 35 nursing staff in five Finnish university hospitals in 2019. The first-round data were collected with semi-structured interviews in small groups and subjected to content analysis. The second-round data were collected with an Internet-based questionnaire from 27 of those participants and statistically analysed. The CREDES checklist was used. Results: According to nurses, environmentally responsible clinical practices focus on effective material and energy use. Material use focused on sustainable and cooperative purchasing, considerate use of products and minimising waste and idle electricity and reducing water and transport use. The tools needed to promote, and enable, environmental responsibility in clinical practice were staff inducements and training and certain resources and guidance. All the hospital health and support service staff needed to commit to collaboration. Conclusions: It is important to address stakeholders' roles in environmental responsibility in hospitals. Environmental aims should be firm and visible, and nurses should have the relevant competencies. They also need sufficient time to develop environmental initiatives and proper facilities to carry out their work with a minimal environmental burden. Providing staff feedback and rewards for their environmental efforts is beneficial for engagement. Relevance to clinical practice: This study will help nurses to identify their needs and opportunities to realise and develop environmental responsibility in their practice. It can also inform hospital leaders to develop corporate environmental responsibility, including in-service training.

RESUMOA relação saúde e meio ambiente faz parte do cotidiano das pessoas e, assim, as ações de saúde devem permear esta relação. Diante disto, o presente estudo tem por objetivo conhecer a produção científica sobre saúde e meio ambiente na atenção primária e na Estratégia Saúde da Família. Assim, trata-se de uma revisão narrativa da literatura. O levantamento dos artigos foi realizado nas seguintes bases de dados: Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), SCOPUS e WEB OF SCIENCE. No total, 311 artigos foram encontrados e 17 foram selecionados para análise de conteúdo temática, de acordo com os critérios de inclusão e exclusão. Como resultado, emergiu uma categoria temática denominada Território: o ambiente para as práticas em saúde, e uma subcategoria: Resíduos no cotidiano da atenção primária em saúde. Os resultados demonstram a importância do reconhecimento do território para as práticas em saúde, e que a geração e a destinação de resíduos vêm sendo reconhecidas como um problema emergente na saúde. ABSTRACTThe relationship between health and the environment is part of daily life and thus health actions must permeate this relationship. In view of this, this study aims to survey the scientific literature on health and environment in primary care and in the Family Health Strategy. Thus, it is a narrative review of the literature. The survey of the articles was done in the following databases: Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences (LILACS), SCOPUS, and WEB OF SCIENCE. In total, 311 articles were found and 17 were selected for thematic content analysis, according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. As a result, a thematic category emerged, called Territory: the environment for health practices, and a sub-category: Waste in the day-to-day routine of primary healthcare. The results demonstrate the importance of recognizing the territory for health practices, and that the generation and the disposal of waste are being recognized as an emerging problem in health.
