Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Climate change (CC) is a global public health issue, and the role of health professionals in addressing its impact is crucial. However, to what extent health professionals are prepared to deal with CC-related health problems is unclear. We aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of health students about the CC.
METHODS: We conducted a scoping review through systematic searches in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Proquest, and EBSCO. We included original scientific research with no language or time restrictions. Two authors independently reviewed and decided on the eligibility of the studies, then performed data extraction.
RESULTS: 21 studies were included, with a total of 9205 undergraduate nursing, medical, pharmacy, and public health students mainly. Most health science students (> 75%) recognized human activities as the main cause of CC. However, they perceived a lack of knowledge on how to address CC. Moreover, we found inadequate coverage or limited development of CC in related curricula that may contribute to incomplete learning or low confidence in the theoretical and practical concepts of students.
CONCLUSIONS: The findings of our scoping review suggest that while health sciences students possess a general understanding of CC, there is a significant gap in their knowledge regarding its specific health impacts. To address this gap, there is a need for targeted education and training for future health care professionals that emphasizes the health effects of CC.
摘要:
背景:气候变化(CC)是一个全球性的公共卫生问题,卫生专业人员在解决其影响方面的作用至关重要。然而,卫生专业人员准备在多大程度上处理与CC相关的健康问题尚不清楚。我们的目标是评估知识,态度,和健康学生关于CC的做法。
方法:我们通过PubMed中的系统搜索进行了范围审查,Scopus,WebofScience,Proquest,和EBSCO。我们包括没有语言或时间限制的原始科学研究。两位作者独立审查并决定研究的资格,然后进行数据提取。
结果:纳入21项研究,共有9205名护理本科生,medical,药房,主要是公共卫生学生。大多数健康科学学生(>75%)认为人类活动是CC的主要原因。然而,他们认为缺乏如何解决CC的知识。此外,我们发现CC在相关课程中的覆盖面不足或发展有限,这可能导致学生学习不完整或对理论和实践概念的信心不足。
结论:我们的范围审查结果表明,尽管健康科学专业的学生对CC有大致的了解,他们对其特定健康影响的知识存在很大差距。为了解决这个差距,需要对未来的卫生保健专业人员进行有针对性的教育和培训,强调CC对健康的影响。
