Tecnologia educativa em saúde para usuários do serviço de hemodinâmica submetidos à cineangiocoronariografia

This research addressed the educational practice of nurses in the nursing care provided in the Hemodynamics Service to users submitted to the coronary cineangiography examination, taking as object the social representations of these users about coronary cineangiography (cardiac catheterization). Objectives: to characterize the profile of the users of the Hemodynamics Service submitted to coronary cineangiography; to describe the social representations of users about the coronary cineangiography examination and develop a educational leaflet about the aforementioned procedure, in such a way as to contribute to quality care, with basis on the needs for information on the part of users, resulting in actual adherence to the preparation of the examination. Theoretical benchmark grounded on the Social Representations Theory. Method: Exploratory and descriptive study with a qualitative approach, taking as scenario the Hemodynamics Service of a university hospital in the state of Rio de Janeiro, during the period between August 2012 and July 2014. The subjects were 20 users who sought the Hemodynamics Service for scheduling and accomplishment of procedures of coronary cineangiography. The stages of development of the research consisted of: signature of the Free and Informed Consent Form (FICF); the data collection was performed through the technique of semi-structured interview, with open and closed questions, where the socio-cultural profile of the study subjects was identified, as well there was the construction of the elected educational technology, in which case it is leaflet. The data were analyzed and interpreted from the triangulation of findings, in the light of the thematic content analysis. Results and discussion: The data were grouped into three categories: 1- Purpose of coronary cineangiography: diagnosis or treatment; 2- Coronary cineangiography as a felt/perceived risk; 3 - The nurse and needs for information about coronary cineangiography. The results have revealed that users are unaware of the purpose of the examination and its usability; but they have some information about it. Although they clearly do not reveal, they make association between such examination and death. Furthermore, the results denotes that this association is not always linked to the finiteness of life, but to changes that may arise from the outcome of the examination. Conclusion: The educational technologies are tools that, when used by nurses, will be able to complement their praxis. The guidelines can be performed by nurses through strategies that promote adherence, reduction of fear, stress and anxiety, in order to encourage the user-nurse interaction. One should provide a space to promote the therapeutic process of care in which health professionals contribute effectively in the process of care, in such a way as to prevent that they only make use of their scientific knowledge and skills
