This randomized controlled study assessed whether diabetic foot care education delivered with the Pecha Kucha (20×20) presentation method improved knowledge, self-efficacy, and self-care behavior among 125 people with type 2 diabetes. The 62 participants in the experimental group received Pecha Kucha education; 63 controls received conventional education. The experimental group had significantly higher knowledge and self-efficacy scores than controls (p < 0.001), but self-care behavior scores did not differ significantly (p > 0.05). The findings indicate gains in educational outcomes, without evidence of a corresponding behavioral difference in this study.
Key findings
- Knowledge scores were significantly higher after Pecha Kucha education than conventional education (p < 0.001).
- Self-efficacy scores were significantly higher in the experimental group than in controls (p < 0.001).
- Foot self-care behavior scores did not differ significantly between groups (p > 0.05).
Why it matters
Foot-care education is intended to support prevention, but improved knowledge and confidence do not necessarily translate into changed self-care behavior. This trial suggests that a structured, brief presentation format can improve these educational outcomes compared with conventional education, while highlighting the need to assess whether such gains lead to sustained behavioral change.
What to keep in mind
The abstract reports no significant difference in self-care behavior and calls for further research on long-term behavioral effects; long-term impact is therefore not established.
