Health Nanotechnology Education for Nursing Interns

The study follows a single-group pretest-posttest design conducted in four phases: Assessment, Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation. In the Assessment phase, baseline knowledge and innovation readiness are measured using two validated tools. In the Planning phase, an educational program is developed based on the pretest results and a review of relevant literature. In the Implementation phase, the program is delivered face-to-face over 8 weeks (24 sessions, 2 hours each, totaling 48 contact hours) using interactive lectures, case-based discussions, and other participatory teaching methods across six content areas related to health nanotechnology. In the Evaluation phase, a posttest is administered two months after program completion to assess changes in knowledge and innovation readiness compared to baseline.
