Abstract:
Climate-health literacy is the ability to find, access, understand, interpret, evaluate, and communicate information about the impact of climate change on human health and to make decisions and act accordingly to that information. Climate change affects people\'s health in numerous ways, both directly and indirectly, e.g., by increasing the risks of cardiovascular disease, infections, depression, anxiety disorders, and trauma. It is important for health professionals to understand the complex interaction between climate change and health. A teaching concept is presented that incorporates the core elements of climate-health literacy. On a first level, physical and climatological basics are taught, direct and indirect impacts of climate change on human health, climate protective measures, the psychological background of climate-protective behavior, and professional ethics. Furthermore, via self-awareness and self-reflection, the impact of climate change on the student\'s mental health should be evaluated. In an advanced level, the direct and indirect impacts of climate change on mental health are taught, coping strategies, resilience, and vulnerability, as well as the role of health-care professionals in the climate crisis. In expert-level lectures, the knowledge can be deepened, and special content like activist burnout can be addressed.
摘要:
气候健康素养是发现,access,理解,解释,评估,并传达有关气候变化对人类健康影响的信息,并根据这些信息做出决策并采取行动。气候变化以多种方式影响人们的健康,直接和间接,例如,通过增加心血管疾病的风险,感染,抑郁症,焦虑症,和创伤。对于卫生专业人员来说,了解气候变化与健康之间的复杂相互作用非常重要。提出了一种包含气候健康素养核心要素的教学概念。在第一层,物理和气候基础知识被教授,气候变化对人类健康的直接和间接影响,气候保护措施,气候保护行为的心理背景,和职业道德。此外,通过自我意识和自我反省,应评估气候变化对学生心理健康的影响。在一个先进的水平,气候变化对心理健康的直接和间接影响,应对策略,弹性,和脆弱性,以及卫生保健专业人员在气候危机中的作用。在专家级讲座中,知识可以加深,可以解决诸如激进主义者倦怠之类的特殊内容。
