Objectives: to develop educational hypermedia to support the care of people with epidermolysis bullosa; and validate its content, functionality, usability, and efficiency., Methods: methodological study, based on five phases: analysis and planning; modeling; implementation; evaluation; and distribution. Hypermedia was evaluated by expert judges, using the content validity index, index of agreement, and exact binomial distribution test, considering p > 0.05 and 0.80 agreement ratio to estimate the statistical reliability of CVI and IOA., Results: in the validation with the judges, hypermedia presented excellent indices of total content validity (CVIt=0.99) and agreement for functionality, usability, and efficiency (IOA=100%), with p > 0.05 in all evaluated items., Conclusions: the developed hypermedia was considered adequate, with good screens, descriptions, and animations, presenting itself clearly and objectively to be used by patients with epidermolysis bullosa and their family members/caregivers.

Objectives: to build and validate educational technology, of the video type, aimed at teaching about the perioperative period of robotic surgery., Methods: methodological development study, following the integrative review phases: pre-production, production, post-production, and validation. The video was evaluated for content and appearance by 14 judges. Content validity (CVI) and appearance (AVI) and agreement (CI) indices were calculated, and the exact binomial test was applied, considering p>0.05 and a proportion of 0.80 of agreement., Results: the video included 13 themes, with a duration of seven minutes and 33 seconds. The items of the three dimensions evaluated presented excellent CVI, ranging between 0.86 and 1.00 (p>0.05), with a total CVI of 0.95, VAT of 0.94 and CI equal to 61.5%., Conclusions: the video included 13 themes, with a duration of seven minutes and 33 seconds. The items of the three dimensions evaluated presented excellent CVI, ranging between 0.86 and 1.00 (p>0.05), with a total CVI of 0.95, VAT of 0.94 and CI equal to 61.5%.

Objective: To build and validate an educational technology in the form of a booklet, aimed at the family members of people with venous ulcers to assist them in their care., Methods: A methodological study, which went through the stages of bibliographic survey and situational diagnosis for the construction of the booklet and validation of content, appearance, and adequacy with judges and the target audience. The Content Validity Index, the Suitability Assessment of Materials, and the Concordance Index were used., Results: In the validation with the content and appearance judges, the booklet showed an excellent overall Content Validity Index (tCVI=0.92). The technical judges evaluated the booklet as "superior" (average of 91%). The booklet underwent adjustments, and validation was performed with the target population, reaching an agreement rate higher than 75%., Conclusion: The educational booklet developed was validated for content and appearance and considered suitable for use by family members of people with venous ulcers.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of training on intravenous medication administration in pediatric patients on nursing staff 's learning and response., Method: This is a quasi-experimental study (pre- and post-test), with 38 nursing professionals who participated in training on administration of intravenous (IV) medication in pediatric patients with heart disease. For data collection, a questionnaire with 19 items was applied to evaluate participants' learning before (pre-test) and after (post-test) training. Data were analyzed by descriptive and analytical statistics (binomial and Friedman tests)., Results: Nurses predominated (52.6%), mean age 41.2 years and 9.8 years of professional experience in pediatrics. For learning evaluation, there was an increase in the rate of hits from the pre-test to the post-test in 13 items, with a significant difference (p < 0.05) in the items: removing adornments to sanitize hands; wearing gloves when administering medication; administering medication with gloves, mask and goggles; and checking patient name by asking their companion., Conclusion: Training had positive effects on nursing professionals' learning and reaction.

Objectives: to evaluate the effect of a training program on the administration of intravenous drugs in pediatric patients on the observed and self-reported behavior of the nursing team., Methods: evaluation study carried out with 38 professionals during three phases: Assessment of the behavior observed in the actions performed before training; Training implementation; and Assessment of observed and self-reported behaviors (immediately and six months after training)., Results: in the observed behavior, there was an improvement in six (6/12) hand hygiene actions; five (5/14) pertaining to environment Organization, selection, and preparation of materials; and in seven (7/10) referring to the Orientation of the procedure, administration and monitoring of the patient's reactions.
