<![CDATA[Students as prospective healthcare professionals are expected to possess basic knowledge towards the proper use of solid and liquid Medical Consumables (BMHP) from the early stages of their education. Improper use of these materials may pose various health and environmental risks. One of the approaches to improve students' knowledge is through education using flip chart. This study aims to determine the effect of flip chart-based education on students' knowledge regarding the use of solid and liquid medical consumables among the 2025 cohort of the Diploma III Nursing Program at Ahulyatama University. This study employed a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design, using a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The population consisted of 120 students, with a sample of 30 respondents selected using a purposive random sampling technique. The data were collected from April 27 to May 2, 2026, using a knowledge questionnaire, with the treatment administered before and after the flip chart educational intervention. The data were then analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The statistical analysis showed a p-value of 0.001 (p<0.05), indicating a statistically significant effect of flip chart education on improving students' knowledge regarding the use of solid and liquid medical consumables in the Diploma III Nursing Program at Abulyatama University. Based on the findings, this study concludes that flip chart-based education has a significant effect on improving students' knowledge of the use of solid and liquid medical consumables. The findings are expected to serve as a consideration for educational institutions in utilizing flip charts as a learning medium and as a reference for future researchers to develop studies using different educational methods and media.]]>
