Can podcasts make waste management lessons stick? nursing students put to the test
NCT ID NCT07242794
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether listening to a podcast could help nursing students learn about waste management better than traditional methods. About 91 first-year nursing students took part, with half listening to a podcast and the other half learning as usual. Researchers measured their knowledge and satisfaction to see if the podcast made a difference.
