Abstract

School environmental health is a condition of the school environment that can support the optimal growth and development of students in healthy living behavior and avoid negative influences. Clean and healthy living behavior at school is a set of behaviors practiced by students, teachers, and the school community based on awareness as a result of learning so that they can independently prevent disease, improve their health, and play an active role in creating a healthy environment. Objective to describe an understanding of the health of the school environment and clean and healthy living behavior. This research is a descriptive survey with a population of 104 students from grades 4, 5, and 6 of SDN Kunciok. The sampling technique used the total sampling method, and the research instrument used a questionnaire distributed to each respondent. The characteristics of student respondents based on the variable understanding of environmental health were in the poor category as many as 56 people (53.8%). In comparison, in the good category, there were 48 people (46.2%). Based on the PHBS variable, there were 53 people in the poor category (51.0%), while in the good category there were 51 people (49.0%). The majority of students have a poor understanding of the health of the school environment and clean and healthy living behavior. It is recommended that students who behave well must be able to maintain it, by not throwing rubbish carelessly, eradicating mosquitoes, using healthy latrines, and exercising regularly and in a measured manner, and for students who behave badly, they must be able to improve further to prevent environmental pollution that potentially cause disease.

Abstract

Background: This literature review investigates nursing interventions aimed at reducing exposure to environmental hazards. Environmental hazards, such as chemical exposure, pollution, and toxins, have significant adverse effects on both human health and ecosystems, necessitating effective intervention strategies. Method: A systematic review was conducted by searching three major databases—PubMed, Scopus, and ISI Web of Knowledge—using specific keywords related to environmental hazards, settings, health impacts, and nursing interventions. It synthesizes findings from studies published between 2020 and 2025, focusing on environmental health, exposure prevention, risk assessment, and health education.  The selection of papers adhered to the PRISMA guidelines to ensure comprehensive coverage of relevant literature. Results: The review highlights the widespread impact of environmental hazards, including pollutants like PFAS, pesticides, and microplastics, which contribute to health issues such as respiratory diseases, developmental disorders, and cancer. Additionally, studies reveal the importance of environmental nursing in managing these risks, with interventions such as admission screenings for infections like Candida auris and the integration of experiential learning in health curricula to enhance community health education. Community health nursing and health education play pivotal roles in promoting awareness and preventing diseases by targeting social and environmental determinants of health. Conclusion: This review underscores the importance of multi-faceted nursing interventions in addressing environmental health risks. Findings demonstrate the critical role of nurses in both direct healthcare and community education efforts to mitigate environmental hazards. Moving forward, comprehensive risk assessment and community-based approaches should be prioritized to reduce health disparities and enhance public health outcomes. Novelty/Originality of this article: The implications of this research suggest that enhancing nursing education on environmental health and integrating evidence-based interventions into healthcare practices will be crucial for effective mitigation of environmental risks and promotion of long-term health improvements.
