School of Nursing Climate Commitment: Nursing Faculty Bring Climate to the Classroom.

In 2021, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) added "the impact of climate change on environmental and population health" into The Essentials: Core Competencies for Professional Nursing Education. Presently, little guidance exists for nursing faculty new to climate education. The year prior, the Nurses Climate Challenge (NCC)-a campaign to educate 50,000 health professionals about health impacts of climate change-launched the School of Nursing Commitment through a series of focus groups and collaborative content development.

Climate, Health, and Nursing Tool (CHANT): A confirmatory factor analysis.

Objective: To confirm the factor structure of the Climate, Health, and Nursing Tool (CHANT) tool via confirmatory factor analysis.

Design And Sample: This is a cross-sectional analysis of voluntary, anonymous responses collected online in 2019, from a non-representative sample of 489 nurses from 12 nations with 95% of the respondents from the United States.

Measurements: A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted to test a five-factor measurement model of the 22-item CHANT.

How Should We Respond to Health Care Generating Environmental Harm?

Clinicians and organizations in the health sector have healing missions, and physicians, specifically, take oaths to "do no harm." Yet, paradoxically, health care operations contribute to pollution and exacerbate environmental disease burden. This article offers a view of how health sector actions exacerbate climate warming and iatrogenically harm global public health and argues that clinicians and organizations have ethical responsibilities to respond.

How Should Clinicians and Health Care Organizations Respond When Civic Planning Concentrates Waste Processing in Minoritized Communities?

US health care is responsible for 8.5% of the country's greenhouse gas emissions, contributes to nearly 30 pounds of waste per patient per day, and uses a vast array of toxic chemicals and pharmaceuticals that pollute our air and water. Communities are not affected equally by the volume and location of this waste: historically marginalized populations are hurt first and worst.

Climate, Health, and Nursing Tool (CHANT): Initial survey results.

Objectives: This study measured nurses' awareness, motivation, concern, self-reported behaviors at work, and self-reported behaviors at home regarding climate change and health.

Design: Descriptive study using an anonymous and voluntary web-based survey.

Sample: A nonrepresentative sample recruited from nurses.

CHANT: Climate, Health, and Nursing Tool: Item Development and Exploratory Factor Analysis.

Climate change poses significant health risks. Nurses assess, treat, and educate patients about health risks. However, nurses' level of awareness, motivation, and behaviors related to climate change and health is not known.

Mitigating a Nursing School's Impact on Climate Change: A Quality Improvement Project.

Background: Mitigation is one approach to addressing climate change, which focuses on reducing carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emissions. Nurses play a critical role in mitigation to prevent the health impacts of climate change. Recommendations to mitigate climate change in higher education institutions reflect four themes: policy, people, process, and practice.

The Nurses Climate Challenge: A National Campaign to Engage 5,000 Health Professionals Around Climate Change.

Climate change poses significant threats to human health and worsens existing inequities. The health sector is a significant contributor to climate change, making up approximately 10% of U.S.

Testing a modified perceived exertion scale for Alzheimer's disease.

Standardized methods for prescribing and monitoring exercise intensity are needed to advance exercise research in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the concurrent validity of a modified 1-10 Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) scale against heart rate (HR) in older adults with mild-to-moderate AD (N = 8, age 77-87 years). RPE and HR were assessed every 5 min during each exercise session with 3,988 data pairs.
