Abstract
To describe the process of construction and assessment of the content of a Virtual Learning Object on preventing bloodstream infections associated with infusion therapy. Methodological study carried out in three stages: elaborating the technical, scientific content; assessing theoretical content; and constructing the Virtual Learning Object. We produced the theoretical content of the Virtual Learning Object. Such content obtained an 85% agreement in assessment, which was adequate. The final product comprised 39 content screens, which integrate the main recommendations and contain images, hypertexts, videos, case studies, and quiz, through an exclusive platform. This study made it possible to portray the method for constructing and assessing the content of a Virtual Learning Object, enabling am easy application to health professionals, aiming at guiding them to quality care.
Highlights
Study type and target audienceThe control and prevention of Health Care Related Infections (HAIs) are one of the main concerns related to patient safety since they are the prevalent adverse events in health care[1]
Preventive measures should be focused on care for the insertion and maintenance of central venous access and peripheral venous access, as both are susceptible to attributable comorbidities and mortality[4]
The theoretical content of the Virtual Learning Object was divided into five major themes, in addition to the presentation and conclusion modules (Chart 1)
Summary
Study type and target audienceThe control and prevention of Health Care Related Infections (HAIs) are one of the main concerns related to patient safety since they are the prevalent adverse events in health care[1]. Among the HAIs that affect hospitalized patients, bloodstream infection is one of the most frequent[2] It is considered a severe infectious disease caused by the invasion of microorganisms in the circulating blood, which leads to the risk of carrying microorganisms to other organs[3]. Infusion therapy is performed through central and peripheral venous accesses, and it includes the administration of solutions, medications, nutritional products, blood, and blood products. It is applied in 50% or more of hospitalized patients, mainly through the peripheral catheter[5]. 1) Programmatic Content of the Virtual Object 2) Concepts related to bloodstream infection (BSI) 3) Physiopathogeny of infections associated with intravascular catheter 4) Risk factors for HAIs
