This study aimed to identify the synthesis of scientific knowledge about the contribution of educational technologies in the care of children with type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. This is an integrative review conducted in June and July 2020 in the MEDLINE, LILACS, and BDENF databases of articles from 2015 to 2019. After adopting the inclusion and exclusion criteria, eight articles were selected. The educational technologies used were digital platforms, educational workshops, case simulations, poster, and educational booklet. We identified limitations of studies with validation of technologies that addressed themes such as physical activity, healthy eating, and coping with psychosocial situations. The importance of the nursing team's performance was identified in educational interventions run in a playful and creative way, including parents and caregivers during the process.

Percepção dos acadêmicos de saúde sobre atividades de extensão

Extension activities allow learners to consolidate learning and encourage the construction of critical citizens capable of facing and solving individual and social issues. The objective was to apprehend the perception by extension students of educational actions in the health area. This is an exploratory descriptive study with a qualitative approach. Fifteen extension students of a higher education institution located in Curitiba-PR participated in the study. To support the research, preparatory activities on healthy eating were developed in August and September, 2018, and, in the following month, the educational action was presented by the students to a partner community. The collection of information was accomplished through individual, audiorecorded interviews. The coverage of the extension course shall be considered in several areas, with conciliation of theory and practice, allowing views about different worlds to be rethought and valued.
