Abstract

Introduction: This study provides the PRE-VIOGEN educational program developed by seven Mexican public educational institutions with multimedia technology in distance mode, designed to prevent gender-based violence in nursing. Objective: Design an educational intervention to prevent gender violence in nursing students. Methodology: Descriptive design based on basic methodological recommendations from INSALUD, gender theories, feminism, Bourdieu, Ausubel, and Bandura. First, an analysis of the situation was carried out, the problem was defined, a diagnosis of the student's situation and contextualization of the conditions for educational intervention. For the systematization and integration of the content, a format was created and the themes were distributed. For implementation, the application method was systematized, piloting was carried out with a sample of convenience. For the selection, students from the 4th-10th semester with availability of a computer and internet were invited. On the Moodle platform, they were given informed consent, aspects of their participation and resolution time: distance, self-administered and asynchronous modality. For the evaluation, a satisfaction survey was applied. Results: Sample made up of 54 students, mostly women, heterosexuals, interns, with a partner between 20 and 28 years old. The interactive PRE-VIOGEN educational program consists of 18 mixed pedagogy themes that are addressed from a gender perspective around equality, social justice, respect for diversity and exercise of human rights, distributed in 5 units. Includes guided readings, infographics, discussion forums, interactive videos, learning activities, and self-assessments. The duration is 20 hours, approximately 2 weeks. In the satisfaction survey applied, the students reported feeling very satisfied. Conclusions: The design of the PRE-VIOGEN study program is a contribution to nursing education. It is taken in the short term, offers an emotional, social and humanities learning experience in a tele-educational-interactive mode, with the capacity to offer combined pedagogical materials: texts, sound, gamification, animation, and videos, which can be taken in the students' free time.
