Study Overview
Status
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
his randomized controlled trial investigates the effectiveness of financial literacy education on improving financial literacy levels and reducing future anxiety among final-year nursing students. The intervention is designed to provide students with essential knowledge and skills related to budgeting, saving, opportunity cost, and financial planning, aiming to improve their confidence in managing personal finances and reducing anxiety about their future economic well-being.
Participants will be randomly assigned to either an experimental group receiving the educational intervention or a control group receiving no intervention during the main study period. Both groups will complete baseline (pre-test) and follow-up (post-test) assessments three weeks apart using the Financial Literacy Behavior and Attitude Scale and the Future Anxiety Scale for University Students. To ensure ethical equity, the control group will receive the same financial literacy education after the final assessments.
The study aims to provide evidence-based recommendations for incorporating financial literacy training into nursing curricula to better prepare students for their future professional and personal lives.

Change in financial literacy scores
Time Frame: Baseline and 3 weeks post-intervention

Financial literacy will be measured using the Financial Literacy Behavior and Attitude Scale (FODTÖ), which includes subdimensions such as spending, attitude, perception, and interest.
Higher scores indicate greater financial literacy.
As the score on the scale increases, future anxiety increases; as the score decreases, future anxiety decreases.
