This episode of the NLN Nursing EDge Unscripted Scholarship track features Roxanne Calabria. The discussion centers on the inclusion of climate change content in nursing programs, highlighting the findings from Calabria's research on nursing faculty's perceptions of climate change and sustainability. The study revealed that a significant number of nursing faculty do not include climate change or sustainability content in their courses, with political affiliation influencing these attitudes. Calabria emphasizes the importance of integrating climate change education throughout the nursing curriculum and suggests resources and strategies for faculty to enhance their knowledge and teaching practices. The episode underscores the need for nursing educators to lead in addressing climate change and sustainability in healthcare education.
