Abstract Background Climate change poses a worldwide challenge with anticipated exacerbation in the future, resulting in irreversible consequences. Nursing students may be vulnerable to experiencing psychological effects associated with climate change. Aim The current study aimed to investigate the relationship between nursing students’ knowledge and attitudes toward climate change and their psychological distress. Method This descriptive cross-sectional study recruited 377 nursing students from three universities located in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Egypt in the Middle East. Data collection was conducted using scales for assessing nursing students’ knowledge and attitudes towards climate change and their psychological distress. Correlations were assessed and multiple regression analysis was conducted to explore the predictors of students’ psychological distress. Results The current study showed that knowledge regarding climate change significantly and positively correlated to the attitude toward climate change (r = 0.213), then again, the score of psychological distress significantly and negatively correlated to the score of students’ knowledge and attitude regarding climate change (r = − 0.182 and − 0.110 respectively). Regression analyses showed that academic achievement had the strongest positive impact on students’ psychological distress, while knowledge regarding climate change and attitude toward climate change had negative impacts (β = 0.381, β=-0.205, and β=-0.045 respectively). Moreover, knowledge and attitude regarding climate change were found to be significant predictors of students’ psychological distress, collectively accounting for 18.2% of the observed variance. Conclusions/Implication for future practice The findings highlight the importance of incorporating climate change into nursing education programs. By enhancing nursing students’ knowledge and attitudes towards climate change, there is potential to reduce their psychological distress. This study underscores the need for curriculum reforms that integrate climate change topics, aiming to foster a well-informed and resilient future nursing workforce.

AbstractBackgroundThe presence of calling has been associated with beneficial outcomes for nurses, yet our understanding of these effects remains limited. Additionally, the mechanisms linking the presence of calling to these outcomes have not been well established in the nursing literature.AimThis study aimed to investigate the relationship between the presence of calling and nurses’ career success, mediated by the parallel effects of strengths use and deficit correction.DesignA cross‐sectional design was used.MethodsData were collected from December 2022 to April 2023, involving 237 nurses working in six hospitals in Port Said, Egypt. The study utilized the Demographic Information Form, the Presence of Calling Scale, the Strengths Use Scale, the Deficit Correction Scale, and the Career Success Scale. Study hypotheses were evaluated using structural equation modeling.ResultsPresence of calling positively related to nurses’ career success. Furthermore, nurses’ strengths use and deficit correction played a mediating role in the relationship between the presence of calling and career success.ConclusionNurses who view their work as a calling are more inclined to utilize their strengths and address their deficits, resulting in a heightened sense of career success.Implication for nursing policymakingEmphasising that nursing is a calling should commence during the undergraduate education of nurses, and this concept should be continually cultivated by hospital administrators throughout their professional careers. This approach empowers nurses to leverage their strengths, address their deficits, and ultimately enhance their sense of success in their nursing careers.

OBJECTIVES
Palliative care is a holistic, patient-centered approach to improving the quality of life for those with terminal diseases and their families. The main objective of the current study was to evaluate the Egyptian domestic caregivers' knowledge, attitudes, and competencies related to palliative and supportive care.
METHODS
Three hundred and thirty-five family caregivers in total were recruited. A descriptive research design was used. Four tools were used to collect data; structured interview questionnaire to collect demographic questions, palliative care knowledge questionnaire, Palliative Attitude Scale, and Competence Scale. The study was conducted in oncology outpatient and pain clinics located at the Damietta Cancer Institute in Damietta Governorate, Egypt.
RESULTS
Nearly two-thirds of the informal family caregivers are aged between 30-40 years old; 54% are female, and 83% are married. Also, sixty-seven point eight of the informal family caregivers were working (part-time). Furthermore, 65 % of them had insufficient knowledge, 68 % had a positive attitude, and 58% of the informal family caregivers had non-competency skills regarding palliative and supportive care.
CONCLUSION
Approximately two-thirds of informal care providers had insufficient total knowledge scores, more than half possessed a positive attitude, and more than half reported non-competency skills regarding palliative care of hepatocellular patients.
RECOMMENDATION
It is highly advisable to launch extensive health education programs and campaigns aimed at all of the unpaid informal family careers of patients with serious terminal illnesses, including hepatocellular carcinoma, at various governments with greater sample sizes.
