Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify factors that influence pro-environmental behaviors of nursing students. Data were collected from May 11 to May 25, 2022 from 152 nursing college students. Collected data analysis were performed using SPSS Win 25.0 program. There was a significant difference in environmental perception(F=3.209, p=.043), environmental sensitivity(F=10.218, p<.001), and pro-environmental behaviors (F=6.668, p=.002) according to grades. There was a significant difference in sensitivity according to gender(t=2.378, p=.019). Perception showed a significant positive correlation with sensitivity(r=.62, p<.001) and pro-environmental behaviors(r=.27, p=.001). A significant positive correlation was also found between sensitivity and pro-environmental behaviors(r=.39, p<.001). The factors affecting pro-environmental behaviors were grades(t=3.259, p=.001) and sensitivity(t=3.635, p<.001), and the explanatory power of these variables was 20%. It is necessary to prepare a plan to induce pro-environmental behaviors by activating an environmental education program that can increase environmental perceptions and sensitivity for nursing students.
