Individualized teaching programming for a virtual learning environment: development of content concerning nursing records

Abstract

Objective: Describe the planning of contents on nursing records for use in a virtual learning environment, based on Individualized Teaching Programming, a didactic resource that uses basic principles of behavioral analysis. Method: Final objectives were specified, after defining the intermediary components to achieve each final objective, as well as the preliminary requirements for each intermediary component. At the end of this process, teaching activities were planned and organized in steps the students need to develop. Results: By breaking up the contents into behaviors, seven action categories emerged: impartiality, organization, honesty, objectiveness, coherence, readability and discernment. Conclusion: the use of Individualized Teaching Programming as a didactic resource to plan contents on nursing records is feasible to identify the units and modules for the development of a course in a virtual learning environment for nursing professionals.

Método: fueron especificados objetivos finales, definidos los componentes intermediarios para alcanzar cada objetivo terminal, así como requisitos antecedentes para cada componente intermediario.Al final de ese proceso, fueron planeadas y organizadas las actividades de enseñanza en pasos que serán desarrollados por los aprendices. Resultados: Al desmembrar el contenido en comportamientos, siete categorías de acciones emergieron: imparcialidad, organización, honestidad, objetividad, coherencia, legibilidad y discernimiento. Conclusión: la utilización de la Programación de Enseñanza Individualizada como recurso didáctico para la planificación de contenido sobre registro de enfermería se mostró viable para el desarrollo del curso en ambiente virtual de aprendizaje para profesionales de enfermería.Descriptores: Educación en Enfermería; Enfermería; Investigación en Educación de Enfermería; Registros de Enfermería; Tecnología Educacional. IntroductionNursing records, which are used as one of the main means of communication among healthcare professionals, are flawed in that they are subject to written errors. These errors can lead to adverse events that directly influence patient safety throughout their period of hospitalization. They should explain all relevant events clearly, since these records form part of the legal responsibilities of the profession (7,(10)(11) . As such, the records can be used for a range of purposes e.g. surveys, audits, lawsuits, strategic planning etc. (11)(12) .Despite the legal importance of nursing records, in many cases we found that written communication has been overlooked by health professionals. Their failure to record information in an accura...

Evaluation of digital educational studenttechnology interaction in neonatal nursing

“…Simulations have long been used in nursing education and allow anticipation of procedures and situations of hospital practice in a very interesting and challenging way, respecting the pace of learning of each student and providing the development of an ethical stance given nursing care (11) . The advantages of using technologies that justify its use in teaching are to provide the user an easier understanding of the subject discussed (18) , respecting the pace of learning of each student, enabling them to repeat the use of technology as often as needed for better learning (19)(20)(21) , creating a safe and effective environment to simulate clinical practice in virtual environments closer to reality (22) , motivating the use due to its graphics characteristics (21) , having an immediate time response to the actions and demonstrating students performance on tasks as part of the evaluation process (23) . Other scholars point out that technology has evolved significantly and currently students are more computerized than previous generations, so the focus should be on effective ways to incorporate new methodologies in education.…”

Validation to Portuguese of the Scale of Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning

“…The use of available Information and Communication Technologies can favor the exchange of practical with updated theoretical-scientific knowledge, besides encouraging the professional to adopt new practices ( 1 ) . The use of simulation as a pedagogical strategy is an attempt to reproduce the particularities of a certain clinical situation, aiming for a better understanding and management of this condition when it happens in a real-life context.…”

Annotations of the nursing team: the (dis) appreciation of care for the information provided / Anotações da equipe de enfermagem: a (des)valorização do cuidado pelas informações fornecidas

“…4 In the pediatric hospital practice, nursing notes are still undervalued, being performed more frequently by nursing professionals of medium or fundamental level, 5 and subjective information such as the presence and participation of the accompanying family member during the hospitalization of the children are restricted. 5,6 This corroborates poor written communication, which is a frequent cause of adverse events in health care settings and results in problems ranging from delayed treatment to errors in surgeries and medication. 6 A systematic review study with the objective of exploring the quality of nursing documentation, which was carried out in Australia with quantitative and qualitative articles, published in the English language during the years 2000 to 2010, points out that nursing professionals should pay more attention to the accuracy of records were identified.…”

The scenarios investigated were hospitals that provide assistance to the adult population, primary care, school health center, mixed institutions between hospital and nursing home.…”
