Implication

Cross-sectional survey reveals insufficient climate change knowledge among physiotherapy students and practitioners, suggesting the need for enhanced curricula in Türkiye.

Key Points

Overall climate change knowledge among physiotherapy students and practitioners remains inadequate, pointing to significant educational gaps.
Only about 50% of participants acknowledged the relevance of climate change to their practice, indicating a misunderstanding of its impact.
Conducted a cross-sectional online survey of 388 physiotherapy students and practitioners across 15 cities in Türkiye, assessing attitudes and practices.
The findings call for integration of climate change and sustainability into physiotherapy education to improve environmentally friendly practices.
