Abstract
Over the last 30 years, climate change has gotten a lot of interest from the global health community. Climate change has long been linked to a variety of health problems, but the effects of climate change on community mental health have received less attention in public health dialogue. Climate change can have an immediate and long-term influence on mental health, contributing to depression symptoms, stress, and trauma-related illnesses. To achieve the best health outcomes for people all across the world, nursing practice must be equipped to handle climate change issues. Mental health nurses must take the lead in recognizing and tackling climate change in order to enhance people's mental health. The goal of this study is to give a broad review of the effects of climate change on mental health and to propose ways for mental health nurses to help patients cope with climate-related health issues. This is done through investigating the perspectives of mental health nurses on their role and visualize a roadmap for nursing intervention on climate change.
