Data were collected using the Descriptive Information Form, the HPV Knowledge Scale and the HPV Awareness and Concern Level Scale (HPV-ACS) Students who volunteered to participate were randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups. In the first week of the study, the Descriptive Information Form, the HPV Knowledge Scale and the HPV Awareness and Concern Scale (HPV-ACS) were administered to both groups as pre-tests. Subsequently, over a four-week period, only the intervention group received a podcast-based educational program, while no intervention was applied to the control group. In the final week, post-tests were administered to both groups, thereby completing the data collection process. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 22.0, employing frequency and percentage distributions, mean and standard deviation values, skewness and kurtosis statistics, the chi-square test, independent samples t-test and paired samples t-test.

Regarding total HPV-ACS scores, no significant difference was observed between the groups at the pre-test stage and the scores were found to be highly comparable (p > 0.05). Similarly, no statistically significant difference was identified between the groups in terms of total HPV-ACS scores at the post-test stage (p > 0.05). Nevertheless, when changes in HPV knowledge scores were examined, the mean difference score was 3.56 (SD 4.08) in the intervention group and 0.19 (SD 2.34) in the control group, with this difference being statistically significant (p < 0.001). In contrast, the total change score on the HPV-FE did not show a significant difference between the groups (p = 0.216).
