Evaluating the Effectiveness of Print Based Environmental Health Intervention Education Among School Going Adolescents of Karachi, A Quasi Study

This study investigates the impact of school-based educational interventions on adolescents' knowledge and practices related to environmental health in Karachi, Pakistan. The methodology opted for this research is quasi experiment with three months intervention period. The research will begin with a baseline survey to assess adolescents' understanding of environmental health, green spaces, waste management, and associated health impacts. Schools are then engaged in creating and maintaining green spaces and adopting waste management practices. Two intervention arms are implemented: Arm 1 receives educational content through posters, while Arm 2 receives pamphlets. In March, schools are revisited to evaluate the maintenance of cleanliness and green spaces. Finally, in April, a post-intervention survey will be conducted to measure changes in knowledge and eco-friendly practices. The study aims to determine the effectiveness of posters versus pamphlets in enhancing knowledge and sustaining environmental practices among adolescents, thereby contributing to evidence-based strategies for promoting environmental health education in urban school settings.

Educational Competition for Waste Management in Nursing Students

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.
