The study, planned as a parallel-group, single-blind, randomized pre-test-post-test controlled experimental design, will include a total of 80 students, with 40 students in each group. The intervention group will receive an educational program based on the Theory of Planned Behavior, in modules over four weeks. Data will be analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, version 27.0 (IBM Corp, Armonk, NY, USA).
