About this study

The study was conducted as a randomized trial. Permission was obtained from the Gülhane Faculty of Nursing, Health Sciences University, and the Gülhane Scientific Research Ethics Committee, Health Sciences University. The study sample consisted of 180 students enrolled in the Surgical Diseases Nursing course at the Gülhane Faculty of Nursing, Health Sciences University, during the 2024-2025 Fall Semester. The students were randomized into two groups based on their first-year cumulative grade point averages. The first group received the "Discharge Education" course using the PechaKucha teaching technique, while the second group received it using the TeachBack teaching technique.

Data were collected using the Descriptive Characteristics Form, Discharge Education Knowledge Test, General Self-Efficacy Scale, and Adult Education Satisfaction Scale. Statistical analyses were performed using Shapiro-Wilk, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, and Mann-Whitney U tests, as well as Friedman Test Dunn-Bonferroni, Pearson Chi-Square, Fisher's Exact, and Fisher-Freeman-Halton tests. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Primary outcomes

  1. Self-efficacy level

    Time frame: The scale was administered to students before and after the Discharge Education course. It takes approximately 10 minutes to complete.

    To determine students' self-efficacy, the General Self-Efficacy Scale was used. This scale was developed by Sherer et al. (1982), and its Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted by Yıldırım and İlhan (2010). The scale follows a 5-point Likert format (1: Not at all, 5: Very well) and consists of 17 items. As the score obtained from the scale increases, general self-efficacy also increases. The minimum possible score is 17, while the maximum is 85. The internal consistency coefficient (Cronbach's alpha) of the scale was calculated as 0.80. Necessary permissions were obtained for the use of the General Self-Efficacy Scale.

  2. Satisfaction level

    Time frame: The scale was administered to students after the completion of the Discharge Education course. It took approximately 10 minutes to complete.

    To determine students' satisfaction levels, the Adult Education Satisfaction Scale was used. This scale was developed and its validity and reliability study conducted by Yüksekbilgili et al. (2016). It consists of 30 items and includes six sub-dimensions: "Instructor's Presentation Skills, Instructor's Communication Skills, Learning Environment, Training Organization, Training Objectives, Training Outcomes, and General Evaluation."

    The scale uses a 5-point Likert format (1 = Strongly Disagree, 5 = Strongly Agree). As the score obtained from the scale increases, satisfaction levels also increase. The minimum possible score is 30, while the maximum is 150. The internal consistency coefficient (Cronbach's alpha) of the scale was calculated as 0.94. Necessary permissions were obtained before using the Adult Education Satisfaction Scale

  3. Knowledge level

    Time frame: The test was administered to students before and after the Discharge Education course. It takes approximately 15 minutes to complete.

    To assess students' knowledge level regarding "Discharge Education," a multiple-choice test (with five options) consisting of 10 questions was developed by the researcher. The test is evaluated on a 100-point scale, with each correct answer worth 10 points.

    Before administering the Discharge Education Knowledge Test, expert opinions were obtained from five faculty members using the DAVIS method.
