Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the repercussion of an educational
intervention on the theoretical knowledge of the Nursing team regarding the use of
external ventricular drains in Pediatrics. This is an uncontrolled intervention study,
with a before and after study design. Method: A pre- and post-test was applied to
collect information on the nurses’ knowledge regarding the care of pediatric patients
with external ventricular drains. Between the pre- and post-test, an educational
intervention was performed using clinical simulation as a teaching strategy. 41 nursing
professionals participated in the study. The professionals were more assertive after
the educational intervention, especially regarding the use of an aseptic technique for
emptying the collection bag (p=0.021). Correlation analyses in the pre-test revealed
that the greatest number of errors was not correlated to any of the socio-demographic
variables. However, in the post-test, a significant correlation was identified between
the number of errors and the participants’ age (rho=0.340; p=0.015); years since
graduation (rho=0.414; p=0.004); and years of professional experience in the unit
(rho=0.428; p=0.004). Therefore, the result shows that older professionals, with more years of professional experience in the unit did not take that much
advantage of the educational intervention, presenting greater number
of errors. The educational intervention using the clinical simulation
strategy enabled an increase in the knowledge of the participants, and
can be used in continuing education, improving assistance quality.
