Simulador de ventilação mecânica como instrumento no processo de ensino-aprendizagem de acadêmicos de Fisioterapia

Abstract

Mechanical ventilation is a widely used resource in intensive care units worldwide and its monitoring and management has now been part of the physiotherapeutic process. Thus, the use of technologies and computers in classrooms as resources to support learning and pedagogical practice, is notorious, growing and has a tendency to become essential, approaching virtual scenarios, such as mechanical ventilation simulators with experienced real scenarios. in professional practice. The objective of this research was to improve the teaching-learning process, with the implementation of a simulator adapted to mechanical ventilation with Physiotherapy students. This study had as target population, physiotherapy students regularly enrolled in public and private universities in the city of Campina Grande (PB). The study had a descriptive and quantitative character, being divided into three stages. The first stage consisted of adapting a didactic mechanical ventilation simulator (SDVM). The second stage took place with the use of the simulator in the classroom with the academics from the respective universities mentioned above, with the help of notebooks and computers and during the third stage, a questionnaire was conducted with 106 participants, where they evaluated the previous theoretical knowledge. and practical in mechanical ventilation applied to SDVM as an auxiliary tool in the teaching-learning process in mechanical ventilation. With the analysis of the results, tables with frequency and measures of description of the categorical variables were obtained, in which the students' experiences were visualized before and after the use of the mechanical ventilation simulator, observing that the theoretical classes presented little practice and contact reduced with mechanical ventilation devices, making the theory-practical association of the subject difficult, it was also identified that the use of SDVM was well accepted by users and contributed as an auxiliary tool in supporting the learning of mechanical ventilation, making the subject more interesting, providing a better theoretical-practical context and a better operational understanding of mechanical ventilation, contributing to teaching and professional training.
