About this trial
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.

Health Nanotechnology Educational Program
BehavioralAn 8-week face-to-face educational program (24 sessions, 2 hours each, 48 total contact hours) covering nanotechnology fundamentals, applications in healthcare and nursing, and related innovation topics, delivered through interactive lectures, case-based discussions, and other participatory teaching methods.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Change in Knowledge of Health Nanotechnology
Change in nursing interns' knowledge scores related to health nanotechnology, measured using the Health Nanotechnology Knowledge Assessment Tool (NKAT), a 50-item tool with scores ranging from 0 to 50, where higher scores indicate better knowledge.
Secondary outcomes
Change in Innovation Readiness
Change in nursing interns' innovation readiness scores, measured using the Innovation Readiness Inventory, a 13-item, 5-point Likert scale with scores ranging from 13 to 65, where higher scores indicate more positive perception of innovation readiness.
