Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to examine the effects of PechaKucha and TeachBack teaching techniques, used in the instruction of the "Discharge Education" course for nursing students, on students' knowledge levels and self-efficacy regarding discharge education, as well as their satisfaction with the teaching method.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study was conducted as a randomized trial. Permission was obtained from the Gülhane Faculty of Nursing, Health Sciences University, and the Gülhane Scientific Research Ethics Committee, Health Sciences University. The study sample consisted of 180 students enrolled in the Surgical Diseases Nursing course at the Gülhane Faculty of Nursing, Health Sciences University, during the 2024-2025 Fall Semester. The students were randomized into two groups based on their first-year cumulative grade point averages. The first group received the "Discharge Education" course using the PechaKucha teaching technique, while the second group received it using the TeachBack teaching technique.

Data were collected using the Descriptive Characteristics Form, Discharge Education Knowledge Test, General Self-Efficacy Scale, and Adult Education Satisfaction Scale. Statistical analyses were performed using Shapiro-Wilk, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, and Mann-Whitney U tests, as well as Friedman Test Dunn-Bonferroni, Pearson Chi-Square, Fisher's Exact, and Fisher-Freeman-Halton tests. A p-value of \<0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Investigators Outcome Assessors
A total of 180 nursing students enrolled in the 2nd-year Surgical Diseases Nursing course were randomized into two groups based on their 1st-year cumulative academic grade point average by an independent statistician, separate from the study and the data obtained was analyzed by a statistician who was independent of the study and not involved in its implementation.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group 1. PechaKucha

The students in Group 1 were taught the Discharge Education course using the PechaKucha teaching technique.

PechaKucha, which translates to "chatter" or "chit-chat" in Japanese, was first introduced in 2003 in Tokyo within the field of architecture. It was initially used by architects to present new projects and structures and to exchange ideas. This method is a fast-paced, innovative teaching and presentation technique that consists of 20 slides, each containing minimal text and authentic visual metaphors. Each slide is displayed for 20 seconds using an automatic timer, making the total presentation 6 minutes and 40 seconds long.

In Power Point presentations, this timing can be set by selecting the Transitions tab and adjusting the duration to 20 seconds for all slides. The goal of this method is to make presentations more dynamic, engaging, and enjoyable.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

PechaKucha technique

Intervention Type OTHER

The Discharge Education course was taught using the PechaKucha technique.

Group 2. TeachBack

The students in Group 2 were taught the Discharge Education course using the TeachBack teaching technique.

The TeachBack method, also known as the "Tell Me What You Learned" technique, is a dynamic and interactive learning and teaching process. The primary goal of the TeachBack method is to ensure that the given education is correctly understood by having participants explain it back to the educator in their own words. If the purpose of the education is to teach a specific skill, the goal is to observe whether the learner can correctly perform the intended skill.

This method helps eliminate communication barriers by allowing for immediate feedback on misunderstood or incomplete information while reinforcing correct knowledge. It serves as an effective teaching strategy to evaluate the extent of understanding, ensuring that learners fully grasp the subject matter.
