Simulação realística como estratégia de ensino-aprendizagem no processo transfusional

Continuing education in nursing services guiding transfusion practices greatly reduces the number of events due to errors and complications. Knowledge has to be provided to the professionals the way they can understand the significance and impact of learning in your professional practice. To do this, using active methodologies, such as a realistic simulation, can be an alternative in order to make the process more interactive and efficient. The objective of the study is to evaluate the realistic simulation as a teaching-learning strategy in the acquisition of knowledge in the transfusion process for nursing professionals. Pre-and-after quasi-experimental study performed in the hospitals belonging to the Federal University o Rio Grande do Norte (Hospital Universitário Onofre Lopes- HUOL, Maternidade Escola Januário Cicco e Hospital Ana Bezerra), in four stages: 1) Construction and validation of the instrument for the evaluation of the knowledge about the transfusion process with the judges of the research; 2) elaboration of the realistic simulation roadmap and organization of the scenarios; 3)Evaluation of the knowledge of professionals before and after the realistic simulation; 4)Evaluation of nursing professionals' satisfaction with the teaching strategy realistic simulation. It was appreciated by the Ethics and Research Committee of HUOL, with number CAAE: 58511516.0.0000.5292. For data analysis, descriptive and inferential analyzes were performed, adopting the statistical significance of p-value <0.05. The elaborated questionnaire, composed of ten multiple choice questions, presented evidence of satisfactory validity (IVC - 0.95; Kappa - 0.83). The total of 202 nursing professionals participated in the intervention, and cognitive learning increased significantly after a realistic simulation performance. Improved the gap of knowledge between pre-and post-test was evidenced in all questions and steps of the process, but mainly in those that dealt with the maximum time of infusion, storage and handling of ...
