The Effect of Pressure Ulcer Prevention Training Delivered to Nursing Students Using the Pecha Kucha Technique on Stage Identification, Knowledge, and Satisfaction With the Teaching Method

This study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of pressure injury prevention training delivered to nursing students using the Pecha Kucha technique on their levels of satisfaction with stage identification, knowledge, and training methods.

Detailed Description

Pressure injuries, which are quite common worldwide, are localized damage to the skin or subcutaneous tissue often developing over bony prominences caused by pressure and/or friction and shear forces, and serve as an important indicator of the quality of nursing care. Since prevention is more cost-effective than treatment, it is crucial for nurses to possess sufficient knowledge and skills in this area and to conduct effective risk assessments.

The Pecha Kucha presentation technique, whose name means "chat" in Japanese, consists of a total of 20 slides; each slide is displayed for 20 seconds, and the entire presentation lasts 6 minutes and 40 seconds. This innovative presentation technique, which summarizes information and presents it in a visually engaging format, has helped address fundamental issues such as the cognitive load and distraction caused by information overload commonly encountered in traditional presentation methods. The literature indicates that the Pecha Kucha presentation technique, when applied to nursing students, increases satisfaction and skill scores and reduces social anxiety levels compared to traditional presentation methods; however, no difference was found regarding anxiety about practical exams, and in the vast majority of studies, no significant difference was observed in knowledge levels.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of training on the prevention of pressure injuries delivered to nursing students using PowerPoint and Pecha Kucha presentation techniques on their levels of satisfaction with stage identification, knowledge, and educational methods.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Intervention
Students will first complete the Sociodemographic Information Form, the Modified Pieper Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test, and the Pressure Injury Staging Record Form. Students will then receive training on pressure injury prevention using the Pecha Kucha presentation technique, lasting 6 minutes and 40 seconds.Immediately following the training, the Modified Pieper Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test and the Visual Analog Scale will be administered to assess satisfaction with the training method. Finally, students will be admitted to the laboratory one at a time and will complete the Pressure Injury Staging Record Form. One month after the training, the Modified Pieper Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test and the Pressure Injury Staging Record Form will be administered to reassess their knowledge and staging assessment skills.

Students will first complete the Sociodemographic Information Form, the Modified Pieper Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test, and the Pressure Injury Staging Record Form. They will then receive a 50-minute training session on pressure injury prevention using PowerPoint presentation techniques. Immediately following the training, the Modified Pieper Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test and the Visual Analog Scale will be administered to assess satisfaction with the training method. Finally, students will be admitted to the laboratory one at a time and will complete the Pressure Injury Staging Record Form. One month after the training, the Modified Pieper Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test and the Pressure Injury Staging Record Form will be administered to reassess their knowledge and staging assessment skills.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
information levels
Time Frame: In the study, the scale will be administered to students before the training, immediately after the training, and one month after the training.

The Pieper Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test (PUKT) is a 47-item test developed in 1995 by Pieper and Mott to assess knowledge regarding the prevention, risk assessment, staging, and identification of pressure ulcers. Lawrence and colleagues created a 49-item modified version by removing one question from the original test and adding three new questions.

Correct answers are worth 1 point, while incorrect answers, "I don't know" responses, and blank (missing) answers are worth 0 points. The minimum score possible on the test is 0, and the maximum is 49.
In the study, the scale will be administered to students before the training, immediately after the training, and one month after the training.
Information on the staging of pressure injuries
Time Frame: In the study, the form will be administered to students before the training, immediately after the training, and one month after the training.
Pressure Ulcer Staging Record Form: This record form is designed to help students determine the stage of pressure ulcers. This form consists of 36 photographs, including 6 Stage 1, 6 Stage 2, 6 Stage 3, 6 Stage 4, 6 unclassified, and 6 deep tissue pressure injuries.
In the study, the form will be administered to students before the training, immediately after the training, and one month after the training.
