This study was conducted using Pecha-Kucha and PowerPoint presentation methods to raise midwifery students' awareness of climate change and to integrate it into midwifery education.
Education is a social tipping intervention needed to stabilize the world's climate by 2050. Integrating sustainable health services into health professions curricula is an important action to raise awareness.
Randomized-control design was used. The setting was a midwifery department of faculty health science at a public university in Turkey.
This study was randomly assigned to either the intervention group (Pecha-Kucha method) or the control group (PowerPoint presentation method). Before the training, students completed an Introductory Information Form and the University Students' Awareness Scale for Global Climate Change (USASGCC). Following the climate change education, students' post-training awareness was again assessed with the USASGCC. To evaluate students' satisfaction with the training methods, a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was administered to both groups immediately after the training session.
A total of 210 midwifery students participated in this study. The awareness levels of students who learned about climate change with the Pecha-Kucha method were significantly higher than those who received this training with the PowerPoint presentation method (19.27 ± 1.43 vs. 13.75 ± 2.38 p ˂ 0.05, respectively). In addition, the satisfaction scores of the Pecha-Kucha group were also found to be significantly higher than those of the PowerPoint group.
The Pecha-Kucha presentation format was engaging and pleasurable for the audience. The students' climate change awareness levels were found to be quite high with the use of this method. Given its positive impact on both awareness and satisfaction, this educational model can be recommended for use in other course contents in midwifery education.
本研究采用“简洁演示”和PowerPoint演示方法，以提高助产专业学生对气候变化的认识，并将其纳入助产教育。
教育是到2050年稳定全球气候所需的一种社会关键干预措施。将可持续卫生服务纳入卫生专业课程是提高认识的一项重要行动。
采用随机对照设计。研究地点是土耳其一所公立大学健康科学学院的助产系。
本研究随机分为干预组（“简洁演示”方法）或对照组（PowerPoint演示方法）。培训前，学生填写一份入门信息表和大学生全球气候变化意识量表（USASGCC）。在气候变化教育之后，再次用USASGCC评估学生培训后的意识。为评估学生对培训方法的满意度，培训结束后立即对两组学生进行视觉模拟量表（VAS）测评。
共有210名助产专业学生参与了本研究。采用“简洁演示”方法了解气候变化的学生的意识水平显著高于采用PowerPoint演示方法接受培训的学生（分别为19.27±1.43和13.75±2.38，p＜0.05）。此外，还发现“简洁演示”组的满意度得分显著高于PowerPoint组。
“简洁演示”的展示形式对观众有吸引力且令人愉悦。使用这种方法发现学生的气候变化意识水平相当高。鉴于其对意识和满意度都有积极影响，这种教育模式可推荐用于助产教育的其他课程内容。
