Study summary

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of diabetic foot care training delivered using the Pecha Kucha (20*20) presentation method on the knowledge, self-efficacy, and behavior levels of patients with Type 2 diabetes. Conducted between December 10, 2023, and October 7, 2024, this randomized controlled experimental study included 125 diabetic individuals, with 62 in the experimental group and 63 in the control group. The experimental group received diabetic foot care education using the Pecha Kucha method, while the control group received conventional education. Data were collected using the Patient Assessment Form, Diabetes Foot Knowledge Questionnaire, Diabetic Foot Care Self-Efficacy Scale, and Foot Self-Care Behavior Scale.

Interventions

  • BehavioralDiabetic foot care education delivered using the Pecha Kucha method

    The study commenced after obtaining ethical approval and written consent from the relevant institution. The Pecha Kucha presentation was prepared by the researcher, adhering to established literature and the specific requirements of the technique. The education covered six key topics: 1) Diabetes and Foot Problems, 2) Daily Foot Care, 3) Appropriate Socks, 4) Appropriate Footwear, 5) Nail Care, and 6) Daily Life Precautions. Expert opinions were sought from four academics (S.Ö; K.L; Z.Z; G.F) with expertise in the field to establish content validity for the final version of the Pecha Kucha diabetic foot care presentation. Following expert approval, a pilot study was conducted with 10 diabetic patients who met the sample group criteria. Feedback from these patients regarding system functionality, clarity, and flow was incorporated to finalize the presentation. Afterward, the finalized "Pecha Kucha Information" training was delivered to the experimental group. The presentations were cond

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Dec 2023 to primary completion in Jun 2024, 5 months.

Of 240 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Diabetic Foot, half reached primary completion within 20 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 35. This study's 5 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 340 studies reached it within 22 months; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 36.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 10, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
