Construction and Validation of a Distance Learning Module on Premedication Antisepsis for Nursing Professionals

Abstract

The aim of this descriptive study, carried out at a public university, was to design, develop, and validate a distance learning module on intramuscular premedication antisepsis. The content was introduced in the Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment, based on the Systematic Model for Web-Based Training projects. Ten nurses and information technologists at work consented to participate, in compliance with ethical guidelines, and answered a questionnaire to validate the Virtual Learning Environment. The educational aspects of the environment interface were mostly evaluated as "excellent," whereas the assessment of didactic resources indicated interactivity difficulties. It is concluded that distance learning is an important tool for the teaching of premedication antisepsis. To ensure its effectiveness, appropriate methods and interactive devices must be used.

Effectiveness of a web-based learning module on oral health promotion for nursing and allied health professionals

“…There was no specific time limit to fill the pre-and post-test questions. The scores were graded as poor (0-3), fair (4-7) and good (8)(9)(10).…”

“…7 Research has found web-based training systems to be successful in imparting continuous distance education in the fields of cytopathology, public health, premedication, antisepsis and nutrition. [7][8][9] Evidence suggests that medical nurses have limited knowledge about oral health of pregnant women and misconceptions about oral health. 10 Nurses who had clinical requirements regarding oral health assessment during nursing education had greater oral health competencies.…”
