Abstract: (7 Views)
Introduction: Climate change has led to damage to agricultural products and widespread anxiety among farmers regarding the destruction of their livelihoods. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of climate change on the mental health of farmers in the southern region of Kerman Province.
Methods: The present study is a cross-sectional research study with a descriptive-analytical design. The statistical population included 126,394 farmers in southern Kerman, from which 391 individuals were selected based on Morgan’s table using convenience sampling. Data were collected using the Climate Change Anxiety Scale (Clayton, 2020) and the General Health Questionnaire (Goldberg, 1972). Data analysis was performed using SPSS-26 software, employing the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression.
Results: Findings indicated a significant relationship between climate change anxiety and the mental health of farmers (p<0.05). Specifically, 47.5% of the variance in mental health was explained by climate change anxiety. Conclusion: Climate change anxiety plays a significant role in the increased incidence of mental health disorders among farmers. Therefore, it is essential to implement community-based psychological education programs to help manage and mitigate this form of anxiety. |
