Desenvolvimento de uma tecnologia educacional sobre o processo de enfermagem: uma abordagem voltada para técnicos de enfermagem

Abstract

This is a methodological study, through which an Educational Technology (ET) was built and validated, in terms of content, appearance and semantics, to support the literacy and practice of nursing technicians, in relation to the Nursing Process (NP). The research followed Pasquali's (2010) theoretical framework and took place between February 2023 and August 2024. The technology was organized in the form of digital didactic material, with the possibility of printing, and dealt specifically with the NP for nursing technicians and nursing technician students. Epistemologically supported by the founding concepts of integral human formation, it was made up of six thematic units: Introduction to the Nursing Process; Nursing Assessment; Nursing Diagnosis; Nursing Planning; Nursing Implementation; and Nursing Evolution. To evaluate the content, the Health Education Content Validation Tool was used, consisting of 18 items, divided into 3 domains: objectives, structure/presentation and relevance. The content judges were 6 nurses from different parts of the country, selected using criteria adapted from Fehring (1994), all of whom had a master's degree in nursing, a doctorate, teaching experience associated with the teaching of EP and researchers on the subject. Based on the experts' responses, a total Content Validity Coefficient (CVC) of 0.97 and a Content Validity Index (CVI) of 0.97 were obtained. With regard to the semantic and appearance assessment, the experts working in the field of communication and education and the target audience included 4 teachers from the technical nursing course, 2 educators and 3 social communicators, one of whom is also a specialist in instructional design, all researchers and masters in their field, and 5 nursing technicians and 6 students from different semesters of the technical nursing course. At this stage, the translated version of the American instrument called Suitability Assessment of Materials was used, and the overall CVI and total CVC achieved were 0.93 and 0.97 respectively, i.e. indices higher than 0.80. Thus, it can be concluded that the TE was considered valid in terms of its content, appearance and semantic aspects, so it is capable of supporting the literacy and practice of nursing technicians related to PE, and is therefore suitable to be made available digitally, for free printing, use and reading.
