Nurses' educational needs regarding climate change and health by type of institutions: A descriptive cross-sectional study

To identify and compare nurses' climate-change-related health education needs based on institution type and provide foundational data for developing tailored educational programs.

Nurses are well-positioned to respond to the health effects of climate change, with roles varying by workplace settings. However, evidence on how their needs for climate-change-related health education differ by institutional context remains limited.

Nurses' climate-change-related health education needs are shaped by their institutional roles and contexts. These findings highlight the necessity for role-specific and context-sensitive education beyond standardised approaches. Moreover, expanding climate-change-related nursing competency requires targeted educational strategies, institutional support, and attention to equity in both content and implementation.
