Serious game development as a strategy for health promotion and tackling childhood obesity

Objetivos: desenvolver e avaliar um serious game (Jogo serio) sobre alimentacao saudavel e exercicio fisico para promocao da saude e auxilio ao enfrentamento da obesidade infantil. Metodo: estudo descritivo, aplicado e metodologico. Para o desenvolvimento do jogo, foram percorridas as seguintes etapas: conceituacao, pre-producao com desenvolvimento da documentacao do jogo, prototipagem, producao e avaliacao de especialistas de computacao e saude. Resultados: desenvolveu-se um prototipo ate a versao beta. O jogo foi avaliado positivamente tanto em relacao a jogabilidade e mecânica, quanto em relacao ao conteudo apresentado, destacando-se como uma estrategia potente para a promocao de saude. As informacoes oriundas da fase de avaliacao serviram de subsidio para adequacoes no software com a finalidade de disponibiliza-lo futuramente a populacao alvo da pesquisa. O grande diferencial do jogo proposto e o fato do mesmo ser um recurso educacional aberto. Conclusoes: as avaliacoes com especialistas demonstraram que o jogo tem grande potencial educacional e considerado adequado para a aplicacao futura com o publico-alvo. O serious game pode ser um recurso didatico tecnologico acessivel para uso em escolas e unidades de saude, alem de poder ser reutilizado para a producao de outros jogos educacionais atraves do acesso de seu codigo fonte.ABSTRACT Objectives: to develop and assess a serious game on healthy eating and physical activity to promote health and tackle childhood obesity. Method: a descriptive, applied and methodological study.For the development of the game, the following steps were taken: conceptualization, pre-production with the development of the game documentation, prototyping, production and assessment of thecomputer and health experts. Results: a prototype has been developed up to beta version. The game was positively assessed both in terms of gameplay and mechanics, and in relation to the content presented, standing out as a powerful strategy for health promotion. The information from the assessment phase contributed to the settings in the software in order to make it available in the future for the target population of this research. The greatest advantage of the proposed game is the fact that it is an open educational resource. Conclusions: the expert assessments showed that the game has great educational potential and it is considered suitable for future application to the target audience.The serious game can become a technological teaching resource available for use in schools and health facilities, and can also be reused for the production of other educational games by accessing its source code.

Compreensão de enfermeiros sobre segurança do paciente e erros de medicação

This study aimed to verify the understanding of nurses from basic and hospital care units about patient safety and medication errors, as well as identifying the behavior and strategies used in the occurrence of medication errors. It is a qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive research. The sample consisted of 20 nurses from Sao Paulo state. The theoretical reference of thematic analysis was used for data analysis. There was a good understanding of the concept of patient safety and the participants identified that the nurse has a fundamental role in the propagation of safety. An absence of uniformity about the understanding of medication errors was observed among nurses. The main factors identified as contributing to the occurrence of errors were work overload and lack of attention. Employee orientation was the most reported conduct to deal with medication errors. Capacitation and trainings emerged as the most used strategies for improving medication safety. It was noted that there is concern about patient safety; however, a culture of punishment regarding medication errors is still present.This study aimed to verify the understanding of nurses from basic and hospital care units about patient safety and medication errors, as well as identifying the behavior and strategies used in the occurrence of medication errors.

English/Portuguese J Nurs UFPE on line., Recife, 11(Suppl. 3):1326-34, Mar, 2017 1327 ISSN: 1981-8963 DOI: 10.5205/reuol.10263-91568-1-RV.1103sup201702 The growing accumulation of knowledge has boosted education to a fragmented, highly specialized formation and seeking technical efficiency. However, the transformations of a contemporary society have put in perspective the aspects related to professional training, such as the inseparability between theory and practice, the need for an integral vision and a broader conception of care. Faced with the gaps in university education, in responding to these social demands, there is an urgent need for changes in the education of health professionals, as well as new ways of working on knowledge. Such a demand gives rise to a growing tendency to seek more innovative teaching methods that allow a critical, reflexive and transformative pedagogical practice, beyond the limits of purely technical training, to effectively achieve the care and apprehension of what one wants to teach. In order to respond to the constant changes in society, more and more students and nursing professionals are being asked to demonstrate new skills, in addition to those required for daily professional activities. In this sense, professional education can help to promote the development of new Nursing practices and the implementation of new resources provided by the technologies. Initiatives to use technology for the teaching of students and health professionals are increasingly being incorporated and considered important to dynamize teaching, develop active learning projects and skills of future nurses. In addition, these technological resources represent immediate access to content and information available in virtual electronic environments, as well as, student greater autonomy and responsibilities are delegated to the student. Thus, in this research, we chose to use the Webquest methodology, because it is an activity based on guided research practice, developed through a problem or challenge, requiring higher levels of thinking, critical sense, analytical capacity, problem solving, and creativity. The information for solving this challenge/problem is available on the web and students will analyze and reflect on them, and in consensus, find the solution. In this scope, this research proposed to develop educational resources using the WebQuest methodology to assist in the teaching and learning process of students and nursing professionals. The thematic axes chosen to be addressed were: child health, adult safety, and health service management. Applied research for the development of digital educational resources that use the WebQuest methodology. Applied research refers to the elaboration of new products or improvement of existing ones, supplying the need for a place to solve a specific problem, ie, uses the knowledge generated by basic research for the practical application with products, against an existing and known demand. Educational resources were developed at two public universities in the interior of the State of São Paulo. To reach the objectives of this study, some thematic axes were chosen to be addressed: child health, adult safety and health services management. These axes were chosen because they are extremely important for the formation of a Nursing professional and because it is possible to work with students of different stages/years of the Nursing course. Within each axis, a theme was selected to be worked on educational resources. They are:  Child health: prevention of childhood
