The objective of this study is to examine the relationships between green self-efficacy, environmental literacy, and environmental attitude and to investigate the mediating role of environmental literacy in the relationship between green self-efficacy and environmental attitude among student pharmacists. This research was descriptive and correlational. In total, 870 students’ questionnaires were found to be valid for analysis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the inaugural study to examine the relationship between green self-efficacy, environmental attitude, and environmental health literacy levels among student pharmacists. This study concluded that environmental health literacy plays a mediating role in the link between green self-efficacy and environmental attitude among student pharmacists. It is imperative for educators to cultivate learning environments that will enhance environmental health literacy, thereby fortifying green self-efficacy. Such initiatives have the potential to motivate students to adopt eco-friendly approaches in their pharmaceutical practices. In addition, it is imperative to integrate environmental awareness and sustainability themes into practical education processes, complementing them with theoretical knowledge.
