About this study
Official title: The Effect of Preoperative Education Delivered Using the Pecha Kucha Method on the Quality of Recovery in Individuals Undergoing Cataract Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Study
Objective: The aim of this research is to determine the effect of the Pecha Kucha training method on the quality of patient recovery in patient education.
Methods: This study was conducted at the ophthalmology clinic of a training and research hospital in Türkiye. A total of 61 patients scheduled for cataract surgery were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (n = 31) or the control group (n = 30). The study group received preoperative education using the Pecha Kucha method. Data were collected face-to-face using a sociodemographic data form and the Quality of Healing-15 (QoR-15) questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and appropriate parametric and non-parametric tests, with a statistical significance level of p < 0.05.
Read the detailed description
this study was conducted to determine the effect of preoperative education delivered using the Pecha Kucha method on recovery in patients undergoing cataract surgery. Additionally, the study aims to highlight the importance of using alternative educational methods to enhance the effectiveness of preoperative education.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Education with Pecha KuchaOther
After obtaining the necessary approvals, participants were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (n = 31) or the control group (n = 30) using randomization. On the morning of surgery, both groups completed the sociodemographic data form and the QoR-15 questionnaire through face-to-face interviews conducted by the researchers. Following data collection, patients in the intervention group received preoperative education using the Pecha Kucha technique. This education consisted of a 6-minute and 40-second presentation delivered via a smartphone, comprising 20 slides with intensive visual content and minimal text.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15)
The original scale was developed by Myles et al. (2000) to assess postoperative recovery quality¹⁷, and a shortened 15-item version was later developed by Stark et al.¹⁸. The Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted by Kara et al. in 2022. The scale consists of five subdimensions: pain, physical comfort, physical independence, psychological support, and emotional state. Each item is scored on a scale from 0 to 10, with total scores ranging from 0 to 150. Scores between 136-150 indicate excellent recovery, 122-135 good recovery, 90-121 moderate recovery, and 0-89 poor recovery¹⁹.
Measured: the morning of the surgery day, 24 hours after the surgery
