Proper management of non-sharp medical consumables is an important aspect of nursing practice, as appropriate handling and disposal procedures are necessary to minimize contamination risks and ensure patient and environmental safety. Nevertheless, nursing students’ knowledge of the proper management of these materials may remain inadequate, indicating the need for innovative and effective instructional approaches. This study aimed to evaluate nursing students’ knowledge before and after an educational intervention using animated visual media and to determine the intervention's effect on their knowledge of non-sharp medical consumables management. This quantitative quasi-experimental study used a one-group pretest-posttest design. The study population consisted of 121 students from the 2025 cohort, with 93 students selected through the Slovin formula and simple random sampling. The study was conducted from April 10 to 11, 2026. Data were collected using a knowledge questionnaire on non-sharp medical consumables management adapted from Pratama, with a Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient of 0.748. Data analysis included univariate and bivariate analyses. The Kolmogorov–Smirnov test showed that the data were not normally distributed (p < 0.05); consequently, the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test was applied to examine differences in knowledge scores before and after the intervention. The results indicated that the mean knowledge score increased from 8.89 at the pretest to 15.96 at the posttest. The statistical analysis produced a Z-value of −7.977 and a p-value < 0.001, demonstrating a statistically significant improvement in students’ knowledge following the intervention. The study concludes that animated visual media is an effective educational approach for improving nursing students’ knowledge of non-sharp medical consumables management. Therefore, nursing education institutions are encouraged to integrate animated visual media into instructional activities as an alternative learning strategy to strengthen students’ practical understanding and promote appropriate management of medical consumables.
