This study aimed to evaluate the results of the application of a virtual learning object for the simulated evaluation of acute pain in the learning of undergraduate nursing students and to verify the opinions of the students regarding the quality of the technology. This was a quasi-experimental, non-randomized, before and after study performed with 14 students in the seventh phase of the undergraduate nursing course of the Federal University of Santa Catarina. The pre (8.84) and post-test (9.31) means revealed significant differences in learning after the intervention (p=0.03). In the qualitative evaluation the flexibility of access, access independent of time/place, freedom to decide the best learning route and the similarity with reality were highlighted. It constitutes a promising educational tool, an interactive experience, similar to reality, dynamic and constructive learning. The application of the technology has brought positive results for learning about pain evaluation, contributing to fill the gap in the teaching of the thematic.

BACKGROUND Worldwide, patient safety has been a widely discussed topic and has currently become one of the greatest challenges for health institutions. This concern is heightened when referring to children. OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to develop a virtual learning environment for medication administration, as a tool to facilitate the training process of undergraduate nursing students. METHODS Descriptive research and methodological development with a quantitative and qualitative approach were used with stages of design-based research as methodological strategies. For the development of the virtual environment, 5 themes were selected: rights of medication administration, medication administration steps, medication administration routes, medication calculation, and nonpharmacological actions for pain relief. After development, 2 groups—expert judges in the field of pediatrics and neonatology for environment validation and undergraduate nursing students for the assessment—were used to assess the virtual learning environment. For the validation of the virtual learning environment by expert judges, the content validity index was used, and for the evaluation of the students, the percentage of agreement was calculated. RESULTS The study included 13 experts who positively validated the virtual environment with a content validity index of 0.97, and 26 students who considered the content suitable for nursing students, although some adjustments are necessary. CONCLUSIONS The results show the benefit of the virtual learning environment to the training of nursing students and professional nurses who work in health care. It is an effective educational tool for teaching medication administration in pediatrics and neonatology and converges with the conjectures of active methodologies.

Abstract Objective: To evaluate, from the perspective of Nursing students, a virtual learning environment about educational actions for people with diabetes mellitus. Method: A cross-sectional and descriptive study with qualitative data analysis and a sample of 71 nursing students. A questionnaire was used to collect data that includes pedagogical and theoretical aspects of the virtual learning environment: content, interaction, activities, response time and interface quality. Results: The results showed that there was a good evaluation of the parameters in most of the evaluated items, except for the figures and sound of the VLE interface domain, which evaluates the quality of the platform design. Conclusion and implications for practice: In the students’ evaluation, the virtual learning environment was a potential tool for the technical and complementary development of nursing, in addition the inclusion in the virtual world of learning.

AbstractComputer-based virtual learning environments (CBVLEs) are potentially useful teaching tools for training nursing students in professional duties such as the mathematical tasks associated with medication processes. In this study, a CBVLE was designed with well-structured instructional activities such as interleaved practice and feedback. Mathematical medication scenarios and basic arithmetic exercises were integrated into the CBVLE. Four training conditions were used in the CBVLE to facilitate extra support for mathematical medication learning: (1) learning without worked examples, (2) learning with worked examples involving domain-specific knowledge, (3) learning with worked examples involving regular thinking strategies, and (4) learning with combined worked examples. This study was conducted with 118 nursing students enrolled in post-secondary nursing education and Bachelor’s nursing programmes. Students were pre-tested and post-tested on their mathematical medication learning. Training in the CBVLE improved mathematical medication learning for all students from pre-test to the post-test stages, but no differences were found among the four different conditions. Nursing students’ prior knowledge, non-verbal intelligence, and number of correct tasks predicted mathematical medication learning outcomes. When controlling for non-verbal intelligence, students in the condition 1 benefited more than students in condition 3 in terms of their mathematical medication learning outcomes. The same accounted for the support of the low-achieving students in the CBVLE. The support conditions for the high-achieving group appeared to be unimportant for mathematical medication learning. It seems that technology is taken over some of the capacity of working memory, which accounts for the benefits to the low-achieving learners.

Introduction: In India, about 80% of the cardiac arrest occurs out of hospital and requires emergency interventions for the survival of victim. Basic Life Support (BLS) is the vital procedure in condition of out of hospital Cardiac arrest before the arrival of Emergency Medical Services. Nurses are the frontline members to provide emergency aid services and should stands first to provide BLS. Aim and objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of virtual Learning Programme on Adult BLS regarding knowledge and attitude among nursing students in selected colleges, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. Material & Methods: A one group pretest posttest design was used among 150 nursing students selected through convenience sampling from selected Nursing Colleges of Bhopal Madhya Pradesh. After taking informed consent, pretest was administered online through Google Form. Virtual Learning Programme was administered with the structured PPT through Google Meet app to the group of nursing students after administration of pretest. Demographic data sheet, knowledge questionnaire, Attitude scale were used for data collection. Post test was conducted after 7 days. Results: The majority of nursing students belonged to age group of 21-25 years. Majority of them were female and married. The result revealed that the post test knowledge and attitude mean score was significantly higher (p<0.05) than the pre test knowledge and attitude mean score. There was a significant association between pretest score of knowledge and attitude with educational level and marital status. Conclusion: Virtual Learning Programme proved to be effective in improving the knowledge and attitude regarding Adult BLS among nursing students. Key words: Virtual Learning Programme, Basic life support, nursing students.

The potential use of computer technology in teaching and continuous education for nursing motivated the development of this study to evaluate the virtual learning object, "Diagnostic Reasoning in Nursing Applied to Preterm Newborns" at an intermediate neonatal care unit. This descriptive study evaluates the appearance and content of the virtual object concerning aspects related to presentation, organization, usability and overall impression. Experts from the fields of computer technology (12) and nursing (31) participated in the evaluation process. Each sub-item of the instrument was assessed on a Likert scale and blank space was provided for comments/suggestions. All items were positively evaluated by over 80% of the experts, except for the 'informational density' criterion in the evaluation performed by computer technology experts. The developed product is considered adequate to be used for teaching for nursing students and in continuous education of diagnostic reasoning in the development of Nursing Diagnoses for preterm newborns, in the problem-posing pedagogical framework.
