简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether three different instructional strategies improve learning outcomes and knowledge retention in nursing students receiving education on peritoneal dialysis catheter care. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does Pecha Kucha-based education improve students' knowledge of peritoneal dialysis catheter care compared with concept map-based education and traditional education? Do the three instructional strategies differ in terms of knowledge retention, learning satisfaction, learning experience, and perceived cognitive load? Researchers will compare Pecha Kucha-based education, concept map-based education, and traditional education to see which instructional strategy is more effective in improving students' knowledge, supporting knowledge retention, and providing a positive learning experience.
Participants will:
Complete a pre-test before the education. Receive one of three educational interventions on peritoneal dialysis catheter care: Pecha Kucha-based education, concept map-based education, or traditional education.
Complete a post-test after the education. Complete forms evaluating learning satisfaction, learning experience, and perceived cognitive load.
Complete a follow-up knowledge test to assess knowledge retention.
详细描述
Detailed Description
This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effects of three different instructional strategies on nursing students' learning outcomes and knowledge retention related to peritoneal dialysis catheter care. The instructional strategies are Pecha Kucha-based education, concept map-based education, and traditional education.
Peritoneal dialysis catheter care is an important nursing skill because appropriate care supports treatment continuity, helps prevent infection, and enables early recognition of catheter-related complications. Nursing students need to understand the purpose of the catheter, catheter exit-site care, hand hygiene, aseptic technique, dressing care, prevention of catheter trauma or blockage, signs of infection and peritonitis, risky practices, and situations requiring referral to a healthcare team.
Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups. All groups will receive education on the same content and learning objectives. The difference between groups will be the instructional strategy used to deliver the content.
The Pecha Kucha group will receive a structured, time-controlled visual micro-presentation. The concept map group will receive education through a structured concept map showing the relationships among key concepts related to peritoneal dialysis catheter care. The traditional education group will receive the same content through a standard teacher-centered presentation and verbal explanation.

研究组 & 干预措施
Arm 1: Pecha Kucha-Based Education
Participants in this arm will receive standardized education on peritoneal dialysis catheter care using a Pecha Kucha-based instructional strategy. The education will be delivered as a time-controlled visual micro-presentation consisting of 20 slides, with each slide presented for 20 seconds. The content will focus on peritoneal dialysis catheter function, catheter exit-site care, infection prevention, hand hygiene, aseptic technique, dressing care, catheter protection, complications, risky practices, and situations requiring healthcare referral.
干预措施: Pecha Kucha-Based Education (Behavioral)
Arm 2: Concept Map-Based Education
Participants in this arm will receive standardized education on peritoneal dialysis catheter care using a structured concept map-based instructional strategy. The education will present the same core content as the other groups, but the information will be organized through a concept map showing the relationships among key concepts such as catheter care, exit-site observation, infection prevention, aseptic technique, dressing care, complications, and patient safety.
干预措施: Concept Map-Based Education (Behavioral)
Arm 3: Traditional Education
Participants in this arm will receive standardized education on peritoneal dialysis catheter care using a traditional instructional strategy. The education will be delivered through a standard teacher-centered presentation and verbal explanation. The content will be the same as in the other groups and will include catheter function, exit-site care, hand hygiene, aseptic technique, dressing care, catheter protection, infection signs, complications, risky practices, and situations requiring healthcare referral.
干预措施: Traditional Education (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Knowledge Level on Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter Care
时间窗: Baseline, immediately after the educational intervention, and 4 weeks after the educational intervention
Students' knowledge level regarding peritoneal dialysis catheter care will be assessed using a researcher-developed multiple-choice knowledge test. The test includes 15 questions related to catheter exit-site care, hand hygiene, aseptic technique, dressing care, infection signs, catheter protection, risky practices, and situations requiring healthcare referral. Scores range from 0 to 15, with higher scores indicating better knowledge related to peritoneal dialysis catheter care.
次要结局
- Knowledge Retention on Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter Care(Immediately after the educational intervention and 4 weeks after the educational intervention)
- Learning Satisfaction and Learning Experience(Immediately after the educational intervention)
- Perceived Cognitive Load(Immediately after the educational intervention)
