- Construção e validação de um objeto de aprendizagem para enfermeirosPublication . Reis Santos, Margarida; Koch, Maria Cândida; Prata, Ana PaulaIn today’s societies, health care is increasingly culturally diverse due to the increasing migratory processes of the population and nurses. Therefore, it is necessary to train nurses to provide culturally competent care. Learning objects are didactic, multimedia, interactive and challenging materials that constitute relevant resources for the teaching-learning processes that go beyond the classroom. In many countries, in nursing education, they are still an innovative way of learning. The study was developed as part of the international project Developing Multimedia Learning for Cross-Cultural Collaboration and Competence in Nursing - TransCoCon, (ERASMUS + Program, contract: 2017-1-UK01-KA203-36612) and aimed to build and validate a learning object that supports the learning of transcultural competences, necessary in nursing care. The learning object developed is subordinated to the theme of admission of a client in a hospital. For its development, the following steps were followed: choice of content; analyze; conceptual map; navigational architecture; storyboard; Implementation; documentation of use; use, evaluation and maintenance. As a result of the work developed, we obtained the learning object “Admission to hospital” and its Portuguese version “Acolhimento do Cliente num Hospital”. Both versions include a set of written supportive material for cross-cultural nursing care in hospital and illustrative videos of cross-cultural communication skills. The adopted methodology proved to be effective for the construction of an attractive, interactive and meaningful learning object for nursing students, nurses and nursing teachers.
- Parents' perception of toddlers' nutritional statePublication . Marinho, Catarina; Koch, Maria Cândida; Reis Santos, MargaridaBackground: Parents’ perception of children’s body image may assume an important role in children’s development. Aims: to assess parental perception on toddlers’ nutritional status. Methods: Study conducted with toddlers’ parents who attended nurseries in the district of Viseu, Portugal. Data collection instruments: a survey which included questions for social and demographic characterisation and the ‘Toddler Silhouette Scale’. Findings: Most parents have considered that the children’s silhouette, ideal (98.4%) and real (95.8%), corresponded to the one regarding normal weight. 21.1% of the children seen by the parents as having a normal weight, had in fact excess weight, 9% suffered from obesity and 0.5% were underweight. Conclusions: The results suggest the existence of an inaccurate parental perception about their children’s weight, reinforcing the importance of nurses who inform parents about their children’s nutritional status and guide them to adopt healthy lifestyles.
