Abstract

Objective:to make and validate an educational video about the management of pediatric cardiopulmonary arrest caused by respiratory failure.Method:methodological study developed in three stages: preparation and validation of a clinical case; production; and validation of educational video. To build the educational video, the Fleming, Reynolds and Wallace methodological framework was used.Results:the clinical case was validated by ten expert referees, who worked as nurses in different regions in Brazil, by completing an online form, with one round of evaluation and calculation of the content validity index. The educational video was validated by three expert judges and 25 nursing students in an evaluation round and contains six scenes, with duration of nine minutes and 56 seconds. An agreement over 80% was reached for most of the items in both the clinical case and the educational video.Conclusion:the educational video proved valid regarding face and content. This educational technology has the potential to meet the demands of students, who are digital natives, related to teaching of management of pediatric cardiopulmonary arrest caused by respiratory failure.

Highlights

Cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) is a phenomenon described as the abrupt cessation of circulatory, respiratory, and cerebral activities, which directly interferes with blood circulation and efficacy of the pulmonary system to promote gas exchanges[1].In pediatrics, the main causes of CPA are shock and respiratory failure
The clinical case was split into nine paragraphs and 36 questions, which covered care to the child and their mother since arrival at the health service until completion of care actions oriented toward the recovery of the child after CPA caused by respiratory failure
The literature addresses CPA approach and use of active and/or educational methodologies to be applied to health professionals with studies on the use of these tools to teach the subject to medical students[17,18], the importance of the present study, which is focused on the learning process of nursing students

Summary

Introduction

Cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) is a phenomenon described as the abrupt cessation of circulatory, respiratory, and cerebral activities, which directly interferes with blood circulation and efficacy of the pulmonary system to promote gas exchanges[1].In pediatrics, the main causes of CPA are shock and respiratory failure. When the management of pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation is considered, preparation and technical and scientific knowledge of nurses is important to reverse the clinical condition shown and help patients get a better prognosis in this emergency situation[3]. This preparation can be offered during training of these professionals over undergraduate courses. There is widespread availability of contents on the internet, and authors identified that undergraduate students access knowledge by means of different learning methods, especially those involving technological resources, and have decreasing interest in classes given the traditional way[4]. Born in an era of great availability and access to digital media, these students are known as digital natives[5]
