Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective: to develop educational technology for nurses on transcutaneous pacemaker management in older adults undergoing mobile pre-hospital assistance. Method: a methodological study developed with the Advanced Support Units of the Mobile Urgency Care Service of the 2nd Metropolitan Health Region of Paraná, Brazil, in three phases: 1) Pre-production - preparation of the video script; 2) Production - script validation by expert judges, storyboard development, voiceover recording and selection of images; and 3) Post-production - evaluation of the video by expert judges and diffusion. 51 specialist judge nurses took part in validation of the script; and 47 of them assessed the video. The data were collected between April and May 2022 using instruments with a Likert scale, via Google Forms. Descriptive statistics was applied for data analysis and a Content Validity Index of at least 0.78 was considered. Results: the judges suggested less technical language, inclusion of a scene and a correction referring to the positioning of the transcutaneous pacemaker adhesive pads. A 2D video lasting 8 minutes and 30 seconds was produced, which addressed actions and care measures in managing pacemakers in older adults. The following items were considered adequate: language, images, voiceover, duration, guidelines proposed and memorization of the messages (CVI=1.0). Conclusion: the educational technology developed was considered validated for nurses regarding the transcutaneous pacemaker management in older adults. The educational video can support decision-making in favor of patient and team safety and treatment efficacy, in order to qualify the assistance provided.
