Desenvolvimento e validação de um aplicativo móvel de suporte básico de vida para estudantes de graduação em enfermagem

Abstract

The changing profile of the population's morbidity and mortality shows that, currently, chronic non-communicable diseases are responsible for most causes of death in the country, with emphasis on cardiovascular diseases. Cardiopulmonary arrest is generally associated with cardiac ischemia and in this situation health professionals are expected to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation maneuvers, such as efficient compressions and ventilations. Considering basic life support as sequential and protocol actions to be performed during primary care for the victim, the creation and validation of an application to teach the subject is justified. The aim of the study was to develop and validate a multimedia application on a mobile platform for teaching BLS for undergraduate nursing / health students. It is an applied research, in the technological production modality, in which the production process will be based on Contextualized Instructional Design, following the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation. For the application version, 23 experts was invited to evaluated the application considering the educational aspects, didactic resources and the interface of the virtual environment. In this sense, the following were evaluated: relevance of the theme; clarity of concepts; consistency of content; amount of information; presentation of images / videos / connection interfaces (links); information validity; navigability; accessibility and design of the screens. For analysis of the experts' evaluation, the Content Validity Index was applied. The mobile application named SBVida and was developed for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, for online use, on the Android platform, available free of charge for download on the Google Play Store. Eleven experts participated in the evaluation and the overall Content Validity Index for the application and its interfaces was 0.89. The SBVida mobile can be an ally of the contents taught in undergraduate courses, in view of the possibility of mediating knowledge, bringing learning autonomy to students who use it.
