PechaKucha Versus PowerPoint for Parkinson's Disease Education in Nurses

This study compared the effects of PechaKucha and traditional PowerPoint presentation techniques used for Parkinson's disease education on nurses' knowledge and awareness levels. The study used a two-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design. A total of 72 nurses were assigned to the PechaKucha intervention group (n=36) or the PowerPoint control group (n=36) using 1:1 block randomization. Both groups received Parkinson's disease education with identical educational content and learning objectives. The PechaKucha presentation consisted of 20 slides automatically advancing every 20 seconds, whereas the PowerPoint presentation was delivered using a conventional flexible-paced format. Parkinson's disease knowledge and awareness were assessed before and immediately after the educational intervention. The study aimed to determine whether the presentation technique influenced nurses' knowledge and awareness following Parkinson's disease education.

Treatment and study plan

PechaKucha-Based Parkinson's Disease Education

Other

Participants received Parkinson's disease education using the PechaKucha presentation technique. The presentation consisted of 20 slides that automatically advanced every 20 seconds, resulting in a total presentation duration of 6 minutes and 40 seconds.

PowerPoint-Based Parkinson's Disease Education

Other

Participants received Parkinson's disease education using a traditional PowerPoint presentation. The presentation consisted of 23 slides, was delivered with flexible pacing, and lasted approximately 30-35 minutes. The educational content and learning objectives were identical to those used in the PechaKucha group.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in Parkinson's Disease Knowledge Score

    Time frame: Baseline and immediately after the educational intervention

    Parkinson's disease knowledge was assessed using the 20-item Parkinson's Disease Knowledge Test. Each correct answer was scored as 1 and each incorrect answer as 0, yielding a total score ranging from 0 to 20. Higher scores indicate greater knowledge of Parkinson's disease. Change in knowledge was evaluated by comparing pre-intervention and immediate post-intervention scores.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in Parkinson's Disease Awareness Score

    Time frame: Baseline and immediately after the educational intervention

    Parkinson's disease awareness was assessed using the 17-item Awareness Assessment Form. Items were rated on a 5-point Likert scale, yielding a total score ranging from 17 to 85. Higher scores indicate greater awareness of Parkinson's disease. Change in awareness was evaluated by comparing pre-intervention and immediate post-intervention scores.
