As members of the community's, university students bear the weight of past and present environmental negligence. Protection motivation theory offers an effective framework for understanding pro-environmental behaviors and decisions. Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the improvement of the pro-environmental behavior of nursing students based on protection motivation theory. Design: The quasi-experimental research design was implemented. Setting: The study was carried out at Faculty of Nursing Benha University. Sample: A systematic random sample of 25% of fourth year nursing undergraduate students of academic year 2024- 2025 (250 student) Tools: Two primary instruments were implemented I: A structured interviewing questionnaire consisted of two parts: the demographic characteristics and Pro-Environmental Behavior questionnaire, II: Protection motivation theory. Results: There was highly statistically significant difference between mean scores of all items of the pro-environmental behavior of studied nursing students’ at pre and post application of protection motivational theory phases with (p- value ≤0.001). Conclusion: Using protection motivation theory is an effective method and plays a vital role at inducing a significant change for improving pro-environmental behavior. Recommendations: Integrate Environmental ethics In Nursing Education; Future researchers can utilize this theory as a foundation for examining the pro-environmental behaviors of various social groups and gaining insights into the factors that affect these behaviors.
