Brief Summary

Nursing's climate action position may shift from a white and wealthy world to a more inclusive one. Nurses in Egypt and elsewhere have found resonance with this method of campaigning, pressing their employers to implement ambitious environmental regulations (Jones-Berry, 2019). Nursing should be open to utilizing its voice to effect change. Even when nurses recognize their obligation to assist in solving climatic and environmental challenges, many view it as secondary to other parts of their profession (Anker et al., 2015). Nurses who are concerned about sustainability must have the confidence to speak out, since actions such as modelling sustainable practices, pushing for change, advocating for community health, or criticizing prominent organizations may make nurses unpopular (Rogers, 2012). It is critical to have advocacy skills and credibility (Joyce et al., 2014). Nurses have individual as well as group identities and ideals. The purpose of this research was to see how an interactive digital-based training program affected primary healthcare rural nurses' understanding, self-efficacy, and environmental activism in the context of climate change.
