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.
