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.

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
