The Effect of Intramuscular Ventrogluteal Injection Training Given by Pecha Kucha Method

The Effect of Intramuscular Ventrogluteal Injection Training Given by Pecha Kucha Method on Nursing Students' Knowledge, Skills and Satisfaction Levels: Randomized Controlled Trial

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of intramuscular Ventrogluteal injection training given with the Pecha Kucha method on the knowledge, skill and satisfaction levels of nursing students.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Injection Site
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: Experimental group (Pecha Kucha training)

Detailed Description

Intramuscular injection is a very important intervention among basic nursing skills. Intramuscular injection technique to the ventrogluteal region is one of the safest injection techniques. In teaching this technique, both the knowledge and skills of the students can be increased by using different education methods. This research will be carried out to determine the effect of intramuscular ventrogluteal injection training given with the Pecha Kucha method on the knowledge, skill and satisfaction levels of nursing students.

Method: Data will be collected with the Introductory Information Form, Knowledge Test for Intramuscular Injection to the Ventrogluteal Region, Skill Test for Intramuscular Injection to the Ventrogluteal Region, Satisfaction Visual Analog (VAS) Scale. Data will be collected face to face between March 2025 and May 2025.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Experimental group (Pecha Kucha training); Students will be given training on intramuscular injection for the Ventrogluteal region(VGR) using the Pecha Kucha training method. The 20-slide powerpoint presentation will last approximately 7 minutes. After the training, students will ; Complete the Knowledge Test for Intramuscular Injection to the VGR( 15 minutes after training). Students will complete the satisfaction scale after the training(15 minutes after training) . Afterwards, students will be taken to the Nursing Skills laboratory and will perform VG injection on a low-level intramuscular injection simulator(2 hour after training). The Skill Test for Intramuscular Injection to the VGR will be completed by an independent observer who is not a researcher while the student is performing the VG injection on simulator. Students' knowledge, skills and satisfaction will be measured again 30 days after the training with the same measurement tools.	Other: Experimental group (Pecha Kucha training); Ventrogluteal injection training given to students using the Pecha Kucha training method
No Intervention: Control group (Standard Training Method); Students assigned to the control group will be given intramuscular injection training for the Ventrogluteal region(VGR) with the Standard training method. The 30-slide powerpoint presentation will last approximately 20 minutes. After the training, students will ; Complete the Knowledge Test for Intramuscular Injection to the VGR( 15 minutes after training). Students will complete the satisfaction scale after the training(15 minutes after training) . Afterwards, students will be taken to the Nursing Skills laboratory and will perform VG injection on a low-level intramuscular injection simulator(2 hour after training). The Skill Test for Intramuscular Injection to the VGR will be completed by an independent observer who is not a researcher while the student is performing the VG injection on simulator. Students' knowledge, skills and satisfaction will be measured again 30 days after the training with the same measurement tools.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Knowledge Test for Intramuscular Injection to the Ventrogluteal Region	It is a test with 24 propositions about VG injection. Propositions are answered as true, false and I have no idea. 1 point is given for each correct answer. The form was developed by the research team	15 minutes after training, 1 month after training

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Skill Test for Intramuscular Injection to the Ventrogluteal Region	It was prepared to measure the skill levels of students regarding VG injection application. It is a test that includes 33 application steps about VG injection and is evaluated out of 100 points in total. The student who performs each application step receives the score given in the test in return. The test is evaluated based on the total score. The form was developed by the research team	2 hours later after training, 1 month after training
Satisfaction Visual Analog (VAS) Scale:	The scale consists of a horizontal or vertical line, scaled as 10 cm/100 mm. In this study, a form scored between 0-10 points in the horizontal feature will be used. In the satisfaction assessment, a score of 0 on the scale indicates no satisfaction, and a score of 10 indicates very satisfied	15 minutes after training
