Keywords:
awareness, climate change-related disaster, patients undergoing surgical procedure, training program, nursesAbstract
Climate change is impacting human lives and health in a variety of ways. It threatens the essential ingredients of good health as; clean air, safe drinking water, nutritious food supply, and safe shelter, and has the potential to undermine decades of progress in global health. Hospitals have a very important role in responding to disasters. Patients' improvement of their knowledge and practices helps them to better outcomes in disasters. This study aimed to investigate the effect of training programs on improving awareness regarding climate change-related disasters among hospitalized patients undergoing surgical procedures. Design: To achieve the aim of the current study quasi-experimental design was used (with a pre-test post-test design on a group). Setting: The study was conducted at the surgical department at Ain Shams University Hospital. Sampling: A total of 100 hospitalized patients undergoing surgical procedures were selected from previous settings based on convenient sampling. Tool I: Structured questionnaire; composed of two parts. Part 1: Patients' data. Part 2: Patients' knowledge regarding climate change, Tool II: Patients' reported practices questionnaire, and Tool III: Patients' awareness of climate change questionnaire.
