“…Sangervo et al found climate anxiety and climate hope to be strongly related to each other [ 36 ]. Experts have recently begun exploring ways to transform the helplessness created by climate change into hope and to enhance individuals’ awareness of climate change in order to support environmentally friendly behaviors [ 37 ]. In a study conducted with young people in Australia, participants mentioned feeling hopeless and powerless because they believed they were not in a position to mitigate the effects of climate change [ 38 ].…”

Aim This research aimed to determine nurses’ climate change worry, their level of hope for climate change prevention, and the relationship between climate change worry and hope for climate change. Background Nurses are healthcare professionals actively involved in the fight against climate change. However, their close involvement with the issue can also increase their own climate change worry. Therefore, it is important to maintain high levels of hope among nurses in preventing climate change. Methods This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with nurses working at a university hospital. Results The average score on the Climate Change Worry Scale for nurses was 29.22 ± 9.33, with sub-dimensions scores as follows: personal-sphere will and way 10.96 ± 2.09; collective sphere will 18.36 ± 3.39; lack of will and way dimensions 10.40 ± 2.48. The average score on the climate change hope scale was 39.73 ± 5.52. A statistically significant positive relationship was found between age and the climate change worry scale (r = 0.169, p = 0.020) as well as climate change hope (r = 0.148, p = 0.041). Conclusion The research findings indicate that nurses have a high level of climate change worry, but they also have a high level of hope in preventing climate change. It is considered essential to address the concerns of nurses who are actively combating the climate crisis.
