    Steve Cairns is a nurse educator who recently completed research into the lived experience of nurses who are actively engaged in planetary health initiatives. Dr. Cairns conducted a focused ethnographic study using semi-structured interviews, participant observations, and arts-informed self-reflections identified themes related to fourteen nurses’ journeys, approaches, activities, and priorities in support of planetary health. The results of this research have the potential to inform practice, policy, education, and research within the nursing profession. Additionally, this research serves to highlight an awareness that human health and well-being in relation to planetary health is essential to the role of care providers.

    Learning Objectives:

    1. Advance the understanding of nurses engaged in planetary health and how they can impact nursing practice, policy, research, and education.
    2. Enhance qualitative research skills in focused ethnography that employs a three-part methodology and a thematic analysis as outlined by Braun and Clake (2006, 2020).
    3. Support resiliency among nurses who embody planetary health within their practice.
