Effect of Pecha Kucha-Based Education on Symptom Management and Quality of Life in Patients Receiving Chemotherapy
Sponsor: İstanbul Aydın Üniversitesi
Summary
This randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the effect of education delivered using the PechaKucha method on symptom management and quality of life in patients receiving chemotherapy. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. Participants in the intervention group will receive individual education on symptom management during chemotherapy using the PechaKucha method. The education will be delivered as a video presentation consisting of 20 visual slides and lasting 6 minutes and 40 seconds. Participants in the control group will receive routine/standard patient education. Symptom severity and quality of life will be assessed before the education and one week after the intervention using the Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS) and the EQ-5D. The study will compare changes in symptom severity and quality of life between the intervention and control groups to determine whether PechaKucha-based education is effective in supporting symptom management and quality of life among patients receiving chemotherapy.
