Uso de simulação digital no Ensino Técnico de Enfermagem para prevenção de lesões por pressão

Abstract

Aim: to report the experience of use a virtual simulation with a mobile app in technical nursing education. METHODS: it is a descriptive study with experience report. The simulation activity was applied with students of the Nursing technical course in a complementary pressure injuries course. The activity was in two stages. In the first one: a class on the pressure injuries prevention. The second stage: a virtual simulation activity practical using the APP was carried out. RESULTS: the activity was under two tutors coordination. In the first stage, an expository and dialogued class on "Prevention of pressure injuries" was given and in the second there was the application of the practical activity with virtual simulation. The "UpCare" APP focuses on risk assessment for developing pressure injuries and have preventive care recommendations. The students were organized in small groups of three to five members, each small group received a patient case study. After evaluating each simulated patient, the system provides a recommendations list for preventing pressure injuries based on the patient's profile. Each small group discussed the case, in order to carry out the evaluation and develop critical thinking and decision making in relation to the pertinent or not relevant care for the context. Finally, the tutors asked the students about their interest in carrying out the activity. They reported being satisfied with the use of simulation practice, which makes more dynamic and fun teaching. CONCLUSION: the insertion of virtual simulation proved to be a current and innovative way of a Digital Educational Technologies use, contributing positively to the teaching of a pressure injuries prevention, as well as stimulating a critical thinking and decision making safely in a simulated environment.

Enfermagem e emergências oncológicas: avaliação do conhecimento / Nursing and oncological emergencies: knowledge assessment

“…Percebe-se que, no Brasil, durante os últimos anos, muito se tem investido em tecnologia, treinamentos e programas de qualidade na área da oncologia. Porém, a formação e o treinamento em serviço dos profissionais que se responsabilizam pelo cuidado têm sido deixados em segundo plano, o que constitui uma lacuna do conhecimento considerável na capacitação da enfermagem em oncologia, cuja base é centrada na graduação (16) . O Instituto Nacional do Câncer (INCA), através de um estudo realizado com enfermeiros de todo o Brasil, concluiu que os enfermeiros atuantes no sistema público de saúde revelam escassez de profissionais qualificados com conhecimentos voltados ao ensino e prática de cuidados em oncologia, desde os processos de trabalho menos complexos aos de maior complexidade (17) .…”
