Official title: The Effect of Pre-Laboratory Information Using the Pecha Kucha Technique on Students' Knowledge Level, Skill Performance, Application Time in Foley Catheterization Training: A Randomized Controlled Study
Run by Saglik Bilimleri Universitesi · NCT07464496 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether a short, structured Pecha Kucha presentation helps second-year nursing students learn to insert a urinary (Foley) catheter safely and correctly.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Second-year nursing students aged 18 or older enrolled in the Fundamentals of Nursing course with regular attendance and no prior formal training or clinical experience in urinary catheterization who agree to participate.
✕Probably not a fit
Students who already have formal training or clinical experience with urinary catheterization, graduate-level nurses, or those who decline participation are unlikely to benefit from this intervention.

What this trial studies
All participants first attended a theoretical session with a lecture and an instructional video, and were given reference materials to review at home. One week later, students were randomized into three laboratory preparation groups: a Pecha Kucha presentation, a traditional mannequin demonstration, or no additional demonstration. After the preparatory intervention, students performed catheterization in the lab and their procedural skills were measured. The design compares short, structured pre-lab teaching against conventional demonstration and no extra instruction to see which better improves student performance.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this teaching method could produce better-trained nurses who make fewer catheterization errors, potentially reducing catheter-associated urinary tract infections and related complications.
How similar studies have gone: Concise, structured teaching formats have shown benefits for skill learning in some educational research, but using Pecha Kucha specifically for catheterization training is relatively novel and not widely tested.
