Abstract：
BACKGROUND: This study assesses a geriatric nursing-led sustainable heat prevention program for elderly agricultural workers. It targets those aged 60 and above, addressing the heightened risk of heat strain in the era of climate change.
METHODS: A community-based quasi-experimental design involved 120 elderly agricultural workers, divided into intervention and control groups. The program, spanning three months, included education on hydration, rest, protective clothing, and recognition of heat-related illnesses.
RESULTS: The intervention led by geriatric nursing professionals showed significant improvements in heat strain metrics. The Heat Strain Score Index (HSSI) and the Observational-Perceptual Heat Strain Risk Assessment (OPHSRA) Index indicated increased safety levels and reduced risk categories among participants.
CONCLUSIONS: The study demonstrates the effectiveness of a geriatric nursing-led, tailored prevention program in reducing heat strain among elderly agricultural workers. It highlights the crucial role of nursing in adapting healthcare practices to the challenges posed by climate change.

摘要：
背景：本研究评估了一项由老年护理主导的针对老年农业工人的可持续防热计划。它针对60岁及以上的人，解决气候变化时代高温应变的风险。
方法：基于社区的准实验设计，涉及120名老年农业工人，分为干预组和对照组。程序,跨越三个月,包括水合教育，休息,防护服,和识别与热有关的疾病。
结果：由老年护理专业人员领导的干预措施显示，热应变指标显着改善。热应变评分指数（HSSI）和观察-感知热应变风险评估（OPHSRA）指数表明参与者的安全水平提高，风险类别降低。
结论：该研究证明了老年护理主导的有效性，量身定做的预防计划，以减少老年农业工人的热压力。它强调了护理在使医疗保健实践适应气候变化带来的挑战方面的关键作用。
