15. RELATED RESEARCH ARTICLE
• Title: Nursing Action Towards Sustainable Development Goals: Barriers and
Opportunities
• A study by Lorraine Fields, Bonnie Amelia Dean, Stephanie Perkiss, and Tracey
Moroney explored the role of nursing in achieving Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs). Thirteen graduate nurses reflected on SDGs after completing undergraduate
education. Barriers such as systemic challenges and feelings of powerlessness were
identified. However, opportunities like waste reduction and leadership were
recognized. Despite limited impact on immediate action, nurses acknowledged the
importance of SDGs and suggested future collaborative efforts between education
providers and healthcare for sustainability.
