Brief summary
This research will be conducted to evaluate the effects of simulation and out-of-class education activities intervention given to students using the Ecological Planet Health Model on environmental literacy, sustainability knowledge, sustainability attitudes in nursing and sustainable consumption behaviors of nursing students. The research will be conducted at Selçuk University Faculty of Nursing and Selçuk University Selçuk Pharmacy Simulation Unit located in Konya province. The study group consists of second-year students (n=204) studying and attending courses at Selçuk University Faculty of Nursing in the Spring Semester of 2024-2025 Academic Year. The sample size was determined as a total of 72 students.
Detailed description
This study includes two intervention groups (Intervention 1: Simulation Group, Intervention 2: Out-of-Class Educational Activities Group). Both groups received joint theoretical training on climate change and sustainability in the same classroom for seven weeks. A follow-up test was administered in the eighth week, and then, according to the random assignment determined at the beginning of the study, Intervention Group 1 (24 students) participated in simulation applications for three weeks, while Intervention Group 2 (24 students) participated in out-of-class educational activities for three weeks. The preparation of SWOT analyses and action plans for both groups will be determined. These courses are expected to be prepared and submitted within three weeks. The training program will be integrated into the 14-week Climate Sustainability and Sustainability curriculum.

Masking description
Since the researcher was the person who monitored the implementation of the intervention to the students in the intervention group and actively carried out the process, researcher blinding could not be applied. However, blinding will be applied by ensuring that the data collection tools are made by a faculty member who is not involved in the research. In order to prevent bias in the evaluation of the data, statistical blinding will be applied by ensuring that the statistics of the data collected as a result of the research are made by an independent statistician.
Intervention model description
This research is a parallel group pre-test-post-test randomized controlled experimental design.
