Summary:
Cancer; It is defined as a large group of diseases that can start in any organ or tissue
of the body, occur with the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells, and occur when these
abnormal cells go beyond their normal limits and spread to neighboring tissues and other
organs.
The leading goal of cancer treatment is to eradicate the cancer. Cancer treatments are
divided into two basic groups as local and systemic.Systemic treatments include
chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted molecular therapy, and immunotherapy.
The use of drugs that slow down, control, stop and destroy cancer cells in the treatment
are called chemotherapy, and the drugs used for this purpose are called chemotherapeutics
(cytostatics) or antineoplastic drugs.
Quality of life is personal well-being and is an expression of subjective satisfaction in
different areas of life. This concept includes family, work life and socio-economic
conditions. It includes the difference between the ideals, expectations and dreams of
individuals and the reality, that is, the perception of satisfaction and well-being that
the individual receives from his daily life. In the medical field, it is the expression
of the individual's physical, emotional and social well-being.
The symptoms that cancer patients encounter both in cancer and in the treatment process
affect the quality of life of the patient and cause the treatment to be interrupted.
Therefore, symptom management is very important in order not to hinder treatment and to
stop the risk of morbidity and mortality. Most of the symptoms of advanced cancer
patients can be managed with pharmacological or non-pharmacological methods, and this
management is an expected skill for all clinicians who take care of patients with cancer.
Pecha Kucha (PK), meaning "chat voice" or "chat" in Japanese, refers to a well-crafted,
fast and concise presentation format. In a PK presentation, each presenter is only
allowed to show 20 PowerPoint slides for 20 seconds each on a timer. In other words, the
presenter has only 20 seconds to discuss each slide before the next slide appears, and
the presentation time is limited to 6 minutes and 40 seconds. Ideas are explained
visually with pictures and graphics, and there is little text on the slides.
Detailed description:
The patients in the experimental group will be trained by the pecha kucha method using a
computer with powepoint presentation. Those in the control group will be trained with
classical lessons. The training content will be composed of information that will help in
the diagnosis and management of symptoms of cancer patients and increase their quality of
life. Symptom diagnosis and quality of life scales will be used as data collection tools
in education. All patients in the groups will be trained without changing the content of
the training. Only the training method will be different. Data will be collected from
cancer patients in both experimental and control groups before, immediately after, and 3
months after training. Both face-to-face theoretical explanation and question-answer
method will be used as training techniques for the control group. Pecha kucha
presentation will be used as a training technique for the experimental group. The
training will be prepared in visual density and minimal text in accordance with the pecha
kucha technique and will be composed of 20 slides with a powerpoint presentation. The
presentation will last 6 minutes and 40 seconds. After the training, a feedback and
question-answer session will be held for both the experimental and control groups.
