Özet

Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between nursing students' future anxiety and awareness of global climate change. Method: The population of this correlational descriptive study consisted of nursing students studying at a nursing faculty. Three hundred and thirty nursing students were included in the study. The researcher collected data through google forms using a Descriptive Characteristics Form, the Awareness Scale of University Students About Global Climate Change (ASUSGCC) and the Future Anxiety Scale in University Students (FASUS) between March and May 2024. Results: The ASUSGCC total mean score of the nursing students was 3.43 +/- 0.88. Their FASUS total mean score was 61.39 +/- 12.98. There was a statistically significant positive, weak correlation between their ASUSGCC and FASUS total mean scores (p < .05). Conclusion: It was found that the nursing students had a moderate level of awareness about global climate change. It can be asserted that the participants had a moderate level of future anxiety based on their FASUS total mean score. In the study, as their level of awareness about climate change elevated, did so their level of future anxiety.
