Effect of a Health Nanotechnology Educational Program on Nursing Interns' Knowledge and Innovation Readiness: A Quasi-Experimental Study
Effect of a Health Nanotechnology Educational Program on Nursing Interns' Knowledge and Innovation Readiness: A Quasi-Experimental Study
This quasi-experimental study evaluates the effect of a health nanotechnology educational program on nursing interns' knowledge and self-perceived innovation readiness. Approximately 356 nursing interns at the Faculty of Nursing, Mansoura University, will complete a pretest assessment before participating in an 8-week educational program covering nanotechnology fundamentals, applications in healthcare and nursing, and related innovation topics. A posttest will be administered two months after program completion to assess changes in knowledge and innovation readiness.
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.
