The Effect of Preoperative Education Delivered Using the Pecha Kucha Method on the Quality of Recovery

Objective: The aim of this research is to determine the effect of the Pecha Kucha training method on the quality of patient recovery in patient education.

Methods: This study was conducted at the ophthalmology clinic of a training and research hospital in Türkiye. A total of 61 patients scheduled for cataract surgery were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (n = 31) or the control group (n = 30). The study group received preoperative education using the Pecha Kucha method. Data were collected face-to-face using a sociodemographic data form and the Quality of Healing-15 (QoR-15) questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and appropriate parametric and non-parametric tests, with a statistical significance level of p < 0.05.

Other

After obtaining the necessary approvals, participants were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (n = 31) or the control group (n = 30) using randomization. On the morning of surgery, both groups completed the sociodemographic data form and the QoR-15 questionnaire through face-to-face interviews conducted by the researchers. Following data collection, patients in the intervention group received preoperative education using the Pecha Kucha technique. This education consisted of a 6-minute and 40-second presentation delivered via a smartphone, comprising 20 slides with intensive visual content and minimal text.

Primary outcomes

Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15)

Time frame: the morning of the surgery day, 24 hours after the surgery

The original scale was developed by Myles et al. (2000) to assess postoperative recovery quality¹⁷, and a shortened 15-item version was later developed by Stark et al.¹⁸. The Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted by Kara et al. in 2022. The scale consists of five subdimensions: pain, physical comfort, physical independence, psychological support, and emotional state. Each item is scored on a scale from 0 to 10, with total scores ranging from 0 to 150. Scores between 136-150 indicate excellent recovery, 122-135 good recovery, 90-121 moderate recovery, and 0-89 poor recovery¹⁹.
