Environmentally focused service-learning for nursing students

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This randomized controlled trial compares two parallel service-learning experiences within a required nursing course. All participants complete the same 14-week, structured service-learning process, but the field of activity differs: environmental sustainability versus health and social NGOs. Outcomes are measured at baseline, at the end of Week 14, and 10 weeks post-intervention to see if the environmental focus translates into lasting changes in sustainable consumption behaviors and attitudes. The study uses computer-generated randomization with allocation concealment and groups of roughly 30–32 students per arm. Eligible participants are fourth-year Turkish nursing students enrolled in the Community Awareness Project Course during the 2026–2027 academic year.
