Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of training nursing students on waste management through an educational competition method on their knowledge and satisfaction levels compared to the traditional method. During the training process, students will learn the correct classification of waste and reinforce this knowledge in a practical competition environment. The study is designed in a randomized controlled experimental design and experimental and control groups will be compared. Data collection tools will include "Student Introductory Information Form," "Knowledge Level Test" and "Student Satisfaction Evaluation Form." As a result of the study, it is expected that the educational competition method will increase the level of knowledge and satisfaction of nursing students about waste management compared to the traditional education method. This study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of educational competition as an innovative method in educational approaches for nursing students.

Educational Competition Method

This study aims to evaluate nursing students' knowledge levels, practical skills, and the effectiveness of the educational competition method regarding medical waste management. The study consisted of three phases. In the first phase, students were informed, their consent was obtained, the "Informative Information Form" was completed, and the "Knowledge Level Test" was administered as a pre-test. In the second stage, the researcher gave a two-hour interactive lecture to all students, explaining the waste classification and separation processes. In the third stage, the "Educational Competition Method" was applied in Section A. In an arrangement prepared with mock waste and color-coded bins, students placed the waste in the appropriate bins within the specified time. The winner was rewarded at the end of the competition. One week later, a final test and satisfaction form were administered to evaluate the effectiveness of the method.
