ELABORATION OF INFOGRAPHICS FOR TRAINING NURSES IN ULTRASOUND-ASSISTED EPICUTANEOUS CATHETERIZATION IN NEWBORNS

Abstract

Infographics, defined in Communication as multimodal texts, are examples of instructional material whose use in various areas, including health, has grown proportionally to technological development because they allow, from a detailed presentation, an easy understanding of the processes that involve technological innovation. This study aimed to develop instructional material for the training/qualification of nurses in ultrasound-assisted neonatal epicutaneous catheterization. A qualitative approach was chosen, applying the instructional design development method. The choice for infographics was motivated by the ease of understanding and dissemination in an electronic environment. The scripting of the contents was based on evidence mapped in a scoping review. In the modeling phase, three software were used.  As a result, four infographics were produced, contemplating current recommendations on the technique studied, didactically divided into know-how-to-manage and know-how-to-care, obeying the stages of catheter insertion and maintenance. The material was later condensed into an animated version, a product capable of fostering the practice of using educational resources in the teaching-learning processes of nurses in the qualified care of critically ill neonates. Further research is suggested in the field of the development of evidence-based instructional materials, valuable even for those who manage permanent education practices.
