Creative Use of Pecha Kucha Presentation Technique in Providing Crisis Management Skills to Nurse Managers

In this study, the objective examined the contribution of pecha kucha technique instead of standard training in providing crisis management skills to nurse managers.

102 nurse managers participated in the study conducted with a quasi-experimental structure. Nurse managers participating in the study were divided into 3 groups as experimental, standard, and control, and each group included 34 nurse managers. Crisis management training was given to the experimental group with the pecha kucha technique, and to the standard group with the classical presentation technique. A crisis management scale was applied to measure crisis management skills before and after the trainings.

It was observed that crisis management scores increased in both groups after the trainings compared to the control group. When the scores of the experimental and control groups were compared, a significant difference was found (P < 0.05). The crisis management total and sub-dimension mean scores were higher in the experimental group than in the standard education group.

In line with these findings, it can be said that using innovative training techniques such as pecha kucha instead of standard training for managers or other nurses can increase their professional development and the quality of health care services.
