Objective: to analyze the effect on the knowledge of therapeutic communication by Nursing students through the use of applications. Method: a randomized and controlled clinical trial conducted with 60 nursing students. In the topic Groups and therapeutic communication techniques, the intervention-IG group (n=30) used the application and the control-CG group (n=30) was submitted to the traditional class. The pre- (Zero Test -0) and post-test knowledge (immediate-Test 1 and after 30 day-Test 2) of those involved were evaluated. Results: Test 1, performed immediately after the intervention, showed a mean of 11 hits in the control group and 13 in the intervention, with statistical significance (p=0.036). Test 2 showed a decrease in hits in both groups (IG=10.87 and CG=9.3), but maintained the difference between IG and CG in the post-test (p<0.01). Conclusion: the use of the application on therapeutic communication favored the knowledge of the students, when compared to the traditional teaching method. REBEC RBR-4TF6MR Registration.

Objetivo: Elaborar um protocolo para assistência ao paciente pediátrico em Parada Cardiorrespiratória em hospital pediátrico de Fortaleza. Metodologia: estudo metodológico. Na primeira etapa foi realizada revisão integrativa com busca nas bases de dados Pubmed/Medline, Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS); Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO) e Google Schoolar com os descritores “reanimação cardiopulmonar”, “pediatria” e “time de resposta rápida”, com amostra final de 08 artigos científicos. A segunda etapa foi a elaboração da proposta de protocolo. Resultados: amostra evidenciou que o público pediátrico, antes de evoluir para um evento de parada cardiorrespiratória começa a apresentar alterações de sinais vitais e aviso de declínio fisiológico algumas horas antes do evento propriamente dito, em torno de 3 a 11 horas, e entre as principais habilidades/características positivas, citadas como necessárias aos profissionais envolvidos em uma reanimação cardiopulmonar, são: comunicação (41%), experiência (25%), proatividade (17%) e confiança (17%). Conclusão: o estudo traz implicações para a prática clínica, como, definir funções específicas aos profissionais envolvidos na reanimação cardiopulmonar, fora do ambiente intensivista e emergencista, ressalta os principais pontos problemáticos, apontando assim, oportunidades de aperfeiçoamento e alinhamento da atuação de todos os profissionais.

Background Many educational technologies have been used to promote the health of the population. Thus, the objective was to assess the effect of using an individual educational primer along with the Brief Motivational Interviewing (BMI) for increasing maternal self-efficacy for preventing childhood diarrhoea. Methods Randomized clinical trial, conducted in Fortaleza/Ceará—Brazil, composed of 181 mothers and/or guardians of children under five years, who were randomized into three groups: experimental group A (EG A)—who read the primer, experimental group B (EG B)—application of the primer and BMI and the control group (CG). The participants’ assessment was based on the Maternal Self-Efficacy Scale for Preventing Childhood Diarrhoea and the diarrhoea Investigation Form at the beginning of the intervention and then 30 and 60 days after the first contact with the participants. Results There were 60 participants in EG A and CG and 61 in EG B. It was noted a greater incidence of participants with high self-efficacy in EG B after applying the technologies. All groups manifested diarrhoea among children after the interventions, although with a lower number in EG B, one-month post-intervention (P = 0.025). Conclusions The combined use of the primer and the BMI contributed significantly over time to increase maternal self-efficacy in preventing childhood diarrhoea and reduce cases of this disease.
