Development of WebQuest to prevent incidents related to medication administration.

Abstract

Objective: To develop an educational WebQuest to prevent incidents related to medication administration.

Method: Methodological study of construction and evaluation, developed in two stages: Construction of technology with identification of domains and generation of items for the Assessment Instrument. The technology assessment involved three phases: Content Assessment by Experts; Review and Reformulation; Pilot test. 15 experts participated in the content evaluation, and 35 nursing professionals participated in the pilot test. In data analysis, the Content Validity Ratio was applied, considered valid when the index reached > 0.600 in the first round and > 0.778 in the second.

Results: The WebQuest presented adequate indexes regarding technical aspects (> 0.87) and pedagogical aspects (1.0) in the first round of evaluation, while the Instrument was considered adequate (> 0.78) after the second round. The proportion of correct answers was significantly higher after browsing the WebQuest (p-value <0.001), increasing from 31.63% in the pre-test to 87.76% in the post-test.

Conclusion: The WebQuest and the Knowledge Verification Instrument had their contents considered adequate by experts. The WebQuest proved to be an effective educational tool to expand the nursing team's knowledge on preventing incidents in medication administration.
