Abstract
The objective was to validate an educational hypermedia about peripheral venipuncture. This is a methodological study, conducted from January to October 2012, among nursing specialists and students. Binomial and paired t-tests were used for the analysis, where values of p<0.05 were considered statistically significant. The hypermedia content was considered effective by the specialists, because the values of the proportion among the specialists were greater than 85%. The hypermedia was classified as "very good" and "good" by 92.3% and 7.7% of students, respectively. It was deemed to be a resource that facilitates and complements the teaching-learning process. The hypermedia will assist the practice of nursing in the area of peripheral venipuncture, providing opportunities for future nurses to be qualified and able to promote health among the patients in their care.
Highlights
Peripheral venipuncture (PVP) is one of the most frequently performed nursing procedures in hospitals, because 80% of patients admitted to hospitals will use a venous catheter at some point
After the first version of the hypermedia was completed, the study moved into the second stage, at which time it was submitted for analysis by specialists in the area of nursing and information technology
Given the reality of the use of technology in education, especially in the nursing field, this tool is important for disseminating information on the subject of PVP, in addition to providing support to nursing education through the use of information and communication technology (ICT) within the academic environment, assisting the professor in the teaching of students and providing new strategies to complement classroom learning
Summary
Peripheral venipuncture (PVP) is one of the most frequently performed nursing procedures in hospitals, because 80% of patients admitted to hospitals will use a venous catheter at some point. The training of students and professionals is extremely important for reducing risks during the administration of drugs by the parenteral route,[2] and in promoting the safety of patients in clinical practice, which can be obtained through educational technologies.[3]. In this context, it was found that the use of information and communication technology (ICT) that seeks to foster distance education, making it collaborative and flexible for training nursing students in a relevant area of health, namely PVP, is important.[4] In order to use ICT, it is necessary to have a virtual learning environment (VLE) that can receive this technology. VLE corresponds to a technological environment in virtual space that enables the development of the teaching-learning process, mediated by ICT available on the Internet.[5]
