Background: One of the most important issues in today's expanding world is the issue of the environment and its protection. This study was conducted to investigate environmental literacy (knowledge, attitude, and performance of environmental protection) in nursing students of Chabehar City.
Methods: This descriptive and analytical research was conducted on 200 nursing students. The research sample was obtained using Simple random sampling. The data collection tool was a demographic questionnaire and an environmental literacy questionnaire. Data were entered into SPSS version 18 statistical software and analyzed using ANOVA and Pearson correlation tests.
Results: The results showed that 69.8% of students had good knowledge about environmental protection behaviors. And 66% of students had good environmental attitudes and 50.8% of students had poor environmental protection behavior. Also, students' environmental behavior had a statistically significant relationship with parents' education level, and gender (p < 0.05). Finally, the results showed that there is a strong positive correlation between environmental awareness, attitude, and behavior variables.
Conclusion: To promote environmental protection behaviors in students, it is possible to hold educational classes in the field of environment, and environmental activities, and use indirect education to develop environmental culture.
