Blended learning program for the development of skills in the aspiration of artificial airways*

OBJECTIVE: to develop and validate a blended learning program, of the inverted classroom type, on the aspiration of artificial airways. METHOD: applied and methodological research that involved technological production for teaching a Nursing Intervention, based on Vygotsky’s theoretical frameworks and on the Nursing Process. For elaboration and validation, a classic instructional design model was followed. The general and pedagogical requirements were validated, as well as those for videos and interface. For the analysis, the Content Validity Index and the First-order agreement coefficient were used. RESULTS: 34 experts participated, 27 of whom were nurses and seven were professionals in Information Technology. In the nurses’ opinion, the general and pedagogical requirements obtained a Content Validity Index of 0.99 and 0.98 was obtained for the videos and for the interface. The interface for the IT professionals was 0.94. All requirements showed almost perfect agreement. CONCLUSION: the teaching program was elaborated and validated by experts and constitutes an innovative proposal to train nurses. The mediation of teaching by means of duly validated technologies can favor learning and reaching positive results in the development of skills in the practice of aspiration of artificial airways.
