Estratégias para educação permanente de enfermeiro: ambiente virutal de aprendizagem e aplicativo de apoio a decisão clínica em feridas

Abstract

Introduction: The use of new teaching technologies has contributed to efficiently prepare nurses for clinical practice, showing improved decision-making and increased confidence. The Virtual Learning Environment becomes the means to promote experiences, scenarios and contexts related to learning, as it is necessary to create spaces that promote interaction between teachers and students in the search for the construction of knowledge, through dialogues, interactivity and intersubjectivity. Objectives: To present the extension course in the modular format of education using the virtual learning environment, on clinical practice in the evaluation of wounds for nurses who work in the context of primary care, home and hospital. Method: Developed through Applied Research, carried out by a group of researchers from the Professional Master's Degree in Health Sciences, Brasília, Federal District, Brazil. Organized in two major sequential phases, first, development, application and evaluation of the Virtual Learning Environment course for wound assessment, developed between February 2023 and November 2024, in a virtual environment, through the Moodle platform, http://escsvirtual.df.gov.br/ - domain of the School of Health Sciences; and second, adjustment and testing of the TecnoAFe App, developed between November 2022 and August 2024, at the Asa Norte Regional Hospital. The study received funding from the ESCS Research Promotion Program, with resources from the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel in partnership with the Federal Council of Nursing. Results: The course was organized with 14 modules, eight nurses participated, mostly female, aged between 20 and 29 years, with specialization between stomatherapy and urgency and emergency, and professional experience between 1 and 4 years. The evaluation of the course was organized into two dimensions 'organization' and 'content', with a higher proportion of answers linked to the category 'adequate' and 'totally adequate', with positive identification in all questions. The course received a positive evaluation from a virtual environment in which interaction took place in the space and enhanced the construction of knowledge, favoring the teaching-learning of professionals in a flexible way. In the second phase,several tests were carried out on automatic processing of the application without solutions to structural problems, due to failure in the construction of the database and in the foundation of the software. Products developed: First, Distance extension course "Virtual Learning Environment for wound assessment", belonging to the Foundation for Teaching and Research in Health Sciences (FEPECS) and School of Health Sciences (ESCS). The course provided the qualification of professionals in the care of the treatment and healing of lesions goes through knowledge from the basics of skin physiology to the varieties of coverings for treatment. Second, adjustment in the GeFe app (version 1.0 of the software), with improvements and enhancements, the new version, version 2.0, the Wound Assessment Technology, as well as improvements in the initial interface of the application, however, other problems were presented during the tests and as it was a structural problem, future adjustments needed to be made. Conclusion: The extension course was presented in the format of virtual educational learning modules, on the clinical practice of nurses in the evaluation of wounds for nurses who work in primary care, home and hospital settings. The nurses reinforced the quality of the course, in a virtual environment, by producing teaching-learning on the subject, addressed safely and materials with updated information.
