Three Teaching Strategies in Nursing Education: Effects on Learning and Knowledge Retention

13 de mayo de 2026 actualizado por: Zehra Aydin, Atlas University

The Effect of Three Different Instructional Strategies on Learning Outcomes and Knowledge Retention in Nursing Education: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether three different instructional strategies improve learning outcomes and knowledge retention in nursing students receiving education on peritoneal dialysis catheter care. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does Pecha Kucha-based education improve students' knowledge of peritoneal dialysis catheter care compared with concept map-based education and traditional education? Do the three instructional strategies differ in terms of knowledge retention, learning satisfaction, learning experience, and perceived cognitive load? Researchers will compare Pecha Kucha-based education, concept map-based education, and traditional education to see which instructional strategy is more effective in improving students' knowledge, supporting knowledge retention, and providing a positive learning experience.

Participants will:

Complete a pre-test before the education. Receive one of three educational interventions on peritoneal dialysis catheter care: Pecha Kucha-based education, concept map-based education, or traditional education.

Complete a post-test after the education. Complete forms evaluating learning satisfaction, learning experience, and perceived cognitive load.

Complete a follow-up knowledge test to assess knowledge retention.

Detailed Description

This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effects of three different instructional strategies on nursing students' learning outcomes and knowledge retention related to peritoneal dialysis catheter care. The instructional strategies are Pecha Kucha-based education, concept map-based education, and traditional education.

Peritoneal dialysis catheter care is an important nursing skill because appropriate care supports treatment continuity, helps prevent infection, and enables early recognition of catheter-related complications. Nursing students need to understand the purpose of the catheter, catheter exit-site care, hand hygiene, aseptic technique, dressing care, prevention of catheter trauma or blockage, signs of infection and peritonitis, risky practices, and situations requiring referral to a healthcare team.

Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups. All groups will receive education on the same content and learning objectives. The difference between groups will be the instructional strategy used to deliver the content.

The Pecha Kucha group will receive a structured, time-controlled visual micro-presentation. The concept map group will receive education through a structured concept map showing the relationships among key concepts related to peritoneal dialysis catheter care. The traditional education group will receive the same content through a standard teacher-centered presentation and verbal explanation.

The educational content will include the role of renal replacement therapy, the place of peritoneal dialysis among renal replacement therapy options, the definition and function of the peritoneal dialysis catheter, catheter exit-site care, infection prevention, hand hygiene, aseptic technique, daily observation, dressing care, catheter stabilization, prevention of catheter blockage, signs of exit-site infection and peritonitis, catheter-related complications, risky practices, patient education, and when to seek healthcare support.

Before the educational intervention, participants will complete a knowledge test on peritoneal dialysis catheter care. After the education, participants will complete the same or equivalent knowledge test to evaluate immediate learning. They will also complete forms assessing learning satisfaction, learning experience, and perceived cognitive load. A follow-up knowledge test will be administered later to evaluate knowledge retention.

The primary outcome of the study is students' knowledge level related to peritoneal dialysis catheter care. Secondary outcomes include knowledge retention, learning satisfaction, learning experience, and perceived cognitive load. The study will compare the three instructional strategies to determine which method is more effective in improving learning outcomes and supporting retention of knowledge in nursing education.
