Abstract
T
Objectives: Aims: 1) to explore the perceptions and behaviors of energy and environmental conservation in accordance with the green university policy of nursing students in Boromarajonani College of Nursing, Changwat Nonthaburi, and 2) to examine the differences between the energy and environmental conservation behaviors according to the green university policy of the nursing students among different years.
Methods: This descriptive research was conducted in the population and sample of 735 students studying in the 1st to 4th year, academic year B.E. 2562. The instruments for collecting data consisted of the perception of the green university questionnaire and the environmental conservation behaviors questionnaires. The reliabilities of the questionnaires were .72, and .72, respectively. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, one-way analysis of variance, and Least Significant Different test (LSD).
Results: The results showed that an energy aspect played a significant role in the perceptions of nursing students on green university policy and environmental conservation. The nursing students perceived electricity saving at the highest level. The knowledge of nursing students on green university policy was at a moderate level ( = 3.42, S.D. = 0.01). The mean score of energy and environmental conservation behaviors of nursing students was at a high level (
= 79.85, S.D. = 9.19). Comparing the energy and environmental conservation behaviors of nursing students in different years found that the mean scores of energy and environmental conservation behaviors of nursing students in different years were significantly different (p<.05, [F(3,731) = 6.75, p =.000]).
Conclusions: Knowledge regarding green university should be more emphasized in nursing students and management for green university within the nursing college should be further promoted for continuality and sustainability of environmental preservation.
