Abstract
To develop an educational program aimed at the qualification of the nursing technicians that makes possible the understanding of Adverse Events (AE), aiming to adapt the data records; to elaborate tools for the records of the AE in hemodialysis patients; and to assess the knowledge before and after the educational program. An educational intervention was conducted through a classroom and online course on how to recognize and record AE in hemodialysis. The effectiveness of the program was assessed through the gain of knowledge measured through online record of the AE in fictitious problem cases before and after the course. Sixteen nursing technicians participated in the study. In the initial test, the mean score was 3.7 ± 0.3 points and in the final assessment was 4.2 ± 0.3 points (p=0.0002). It was possible to verify that the educational intervention contributed to increase the knowledge of the participants and that the training of these can be achieved with classroom and online learning courses.
Highlights
The emergence in the mid-20th century of efficient methods of extrakidney clearance, especially hemodialysis, allowed early death to cease to be the inevitable destination of patients who lost function of their kidneys
Based on the relationship between the need for continuous learning for the hemodialysis technician and the need for better understanding and better recording of Adverse Events in hemodialysis, we developed a work where we created a record of Adverse Events and an educational program aimed at understanding this subject for nursing technicians

Summary
The emergence in the mid-20th century of efficient methods of extrakidney clearance, especially hemodialysis, allowed early death to cease to be the inevitable destination of patients who lost function (partial or total) of their kidneys. There is no clear research attesting to the possibility that the quality of the dialysis may be influenced by the caregiver team, the inverse correlation of the quality of the team with the survival and with the decrease of the morbidity should not be neglected[13] In this way, the professionals involved with dialysis therapy are expected to be extremely well prepared for their task. Concern about quality has been increasing due to the high rate of occurrence of AE during care, resulting in often serious and irreversible consequences for everyone involved[21,22] For these reasons, it is important that the patient under hemodialysis be continuously observed. Based on the relationship between the need for continuous learning for the hemodialysis technician and the need for better understanding and better recording of Adverse Events in hemodialysis, we developed a work where we created a record of Adverse Events and an educational program aimed at understanding this subject for nursing technicians
