The Effect of Intramuscular Injection Training Delivered via the Pecha Kucha Method on Nursing Students' Knowledge, Skill, and Satisfaction Levels: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Background: This study examined the effect of intramuscular (IM) injection training delivered using the Pecha Kucha (PK) method on nursing students' knowledge, skill, and satisfaction levels. Method: A single-blind, randomized controlled trial was conducted with 76 first-year nursing students. The intervention group received training through the PK method, while the control group was trained using a traditional PowerPoint presentation. Data were collected using a descriptive information form, the Knowledge Test for Intramuscular Injection in the Ventrogluteal Region, the Skill Test for Intramuscular Injection in the Ventrogluteal Region, and the Visual Analog Satisfaction Scale. Results: Although the PK group had higher scores, there were no statistically significant differences between the PK and traditional PowerPoint groups in terms of mean IM knowledge, skill, and satisfaction scores ( p > .05). Conclusion: The PK approach should be implemented in diverse samples and various nursing skill training sessions to broaden applicability.
