Objectives: This study was conducted to examine the relationship between women's awareness of climate change and their worries about climate change in terms of women's health in Turkiye. Study design: Cross-sectional survey. Methods: The research was conducted in a descriptive study design in the relational survey model. The sample of the study consisted of 321 women.
