Towards a greener future: nursing students' climate consciousness and green purchasing intentions.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundHospitals generate significant amounts of waste that can harm the environment. Nurses' awareness and positive attitude towards green products drive them to maintain a clean environment and reduce climate change by purchasing eco-friendly products. This study assesses nursing students' awareness and attitudes toward climate change and their correlation with the inclination to purchase green products.
methodA descriptive correlational design was used for the study, covering five geographic areas in Egypt. A total of 1,400 nursing students from public universities were included in a convenience sample. Data were collected using three instruments: awareness towards climate change, attitude towards climate change, and green purchasing intentions.
resultsParticipants demonstrated high mean scores for climate change awareness, positive attitudes, and green purchasing intentions. Geographic area and education significantly impacted participants' climate change awareness and attitudes. Climate awareness was the strongest predictor of green purchasing intentions, with attitudes serving as a mediating factor.
conclusionA significant positive correlation exists linking climate change awareness, attitudes, and green purchasing intentions. Awareness and attitudes significantly predict green purchasing intentions. Integrating climate change education into nursing curricula can enhance awareness and sustainability behaviours, contributing to broader environmental sustainability efforts in healthcare. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: Regular awareness campaigns and the integration of climate change into the university curriculum are essential. Healthcare providers, especially nurses, should promote eco-friendly behaviours, address health effects related to climate change, and educate their patients, families, and communities about climate change and green purchasing intentions.
