Abstract

This chapter delves into the complex relationship between nursing practices and environment, aiming to illuminate the interconnectedness and challenges within this dynamic field. Improved practice environments are pivotal in attaining optimal outcomes for nurses. Healthcare can participate positively or negatively on the environmental quality, it can contribute to the cycle of harm through mishandling waste and water pollution, or to preservation of environment. Therefore, incorporating practical measures for environmental protection within hospitals presents a valuable opportunity to elevate the quality of patient care, reducing the occurrence of illness and to enhance the environmental health. Nurses can incorporate environmental sustainability and protection considerations into the diagnosis and treatment. They play a crucial role in observing the effects of lifestyles, social vulnerability, pollution and heatwaves. They hold considerable societal esteem for the quality of information they provide, influencing patient behavior towards health and the environment.
