Brief Summary

This study will be conducted to measure the effect of podcast use on waste management on nursing students' knowledge and satisfaction. The study was planned as a randomized controlled pretest-posttest study. The study sample will consist of 100 first-year students (50: Control; 50: Intervention) enrolled in the 2025-2026 Spring semester at Necmettin Erbakan University Faculty of Nursing. The study is planned to be conducted in February-March 2026 during the Spring semester of the 2025-2026 academic year. Data will be collected from first-year nursing students in a face-to-face classroom setting. Data will be collected using a "Personal Information Form," a "Waste Management Knowledge Test," and a "Satisfaction with Teaching Methods Survey." The data obtained from the study will be analyzed in a computer environment using SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) version 22.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). Data will be evaluated using descriptive statistics. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test will be used to assess data for normal distribution. If data are normally distributed, the Independent Samples t-test will be used to compare two independent groups, the Paired Samples t-test will be used to compare two dependent groups, and the Pearson correlation will be used to compare the relationships between scales. If data are not normally distributed, the Mann-Whitney U test will be used to compare two groups.
