Comparing Pecha Kucha and Traditional Teaching Methods for Nursing Students Learning Foley Catheterization Skills

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating new teaching methods to improve nursing students skills in urinary catheterization, a common but complex procedure that can lead to serious infections if done incorrectly. This study compares the Pecha Kucha presentation style, known for its concise and timed slides, with traditional demonstration and no additional training to see which method better enhances students knowledge and practical abilities. All participating students first attend a theoretical course that includes a lecture and an educational video on catheterization. Afterward, they study materials independently at home. One week later, before their lab practice, they are randomly assigned to one of three groups one receives a Pecha Kucha presentation, another a traditional instructor-led demonstration on a mannequin, and the last group receives no extra training before performing the procedure. Participants skill performance is assessed immediately after the training, including the time taken to complete the procedure and their satisfaction with the educational experience. The study aims to identify which teaching approach offers the most effective learning and skill development during nursing education, with all activities and evaluations completed within a short timeframe after the interventions.
