INTRODUCTION

Basic life support (BLS) in Cardiorespiratory Arrest (CRA) represents a set of sequential measures, also known as Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) maneuvers, adopted during primary victim care101 Tony ACC, Carbogim F da C, Motta D de S, Santos KB dos, Dias AA, Paiva A do CPC.

During a situation of CRA in out-of-hospital environment, the early performance of emergency care is crucial for optimizing the victim’s survival303 Dick-Smith F, Power T, Martinez-Maldonado R, Elliott D.

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nepr.2020.1029...
. In this sense, the CPR maneuvers in the BLS are used to reverse the situation and involve recognition, activation of the emergency service, chest compressions, ventilation, and the use of automatic external defibrillator when appropriate101 Tony ACC, Carbogim F da C, Motta D de S, Santos KB dos, Dias AA, Paiva A do CPC.

Most victims in these cases are adults and survival rates are associated with the presence of other people close by who can act on the scene, using CPR until the arrival of the specialized health team303 Dick-Smith F, Power T, Martinez-Maldonado R, Elliott D.

In health care settings, it is expected that professionals are trained to perform CPR maneuvers to apply compressions and ventilations efficiently404 Noureddine S, Avedissian T, Khatib N, Irani J.

The practical evaluation, before and after the intervention, showed a significant effect (p= 0.000) on the accuracy and speed variables for both groups, indicating the use of the mobile app as an educational possibility.

Currently, it is possible to freely access some applications on CRA care, however, there is a lack of mobile devices designed and validated for Nursing/Health education1414 Carballo-Fazanes A, Jorge-Soto C, Abelairas-Gómez C, Bello-Rodríguez J, Fernández-Méndez F, Rodríguez-Núñez A.

.

Considering that the literature still lacks applied research for the creation and validation of virtual environments to complement learning, this study is justified. Its objective is to develop and validate a multimedia application on a mobile platform to teach basic support in CRA to undergraduate health care students.

METHOD

This is a methodological study for the development and content validation of a mobile application on BLS for healthcare students. The development and validation process occurred in a remote format, involving researchers from the Graduate Nursing Program of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (UFJF) and the School of Nursing of the University of São Paulo (USP), between February 2020 and March 2021. The Equator SQUIRE 2.0 instrument was used to guide the methodology.

For validation of the application, health professionals who had scientific production on the theme in the last five years and/or at least specialization around Urgency/Emergency or Intensive Care were randomly selected by the Lattes curriculum. From the total of 23 professionals, 11 accepted and participated in the entire evaluation process. Specialists who discontinued the evaluation at some point during data collection were excluded.

The research was developed in two phases, the first related to the development of the application, and the second related to the content validation by experts1616 Filatro A. Design instrucional contextualizado: educação e tecnologia. 3. ed. São Paulo: Editora Senac, 2019..

The first phase, or the production process of the mobile application, was based on Contextualized Instructional Design (CID), following the stages of analysis, design, development, and implementation1616 Filatro A. Design instrucional contextualizado: educação e tecnologia. 3. ed. São Paulo: Editora Senac, 2019.. In the analysis stage, a survey was carried out with the target population about the educational gaps related to the theme and access to cell phones and applications on mobile devices. In this stage, 168 undergraduate nursing students from UFJF were approached. For the development of the instructional design, elements such as: educational objectives, tools, and the sketches for the pre-visualization of the contents were defined.

For the development stage and the idealized structure, the technical support of professionals around computer science and graphic design was counted on. The design matrix was used to produce the logo, graphic scenarios, menu with its icons, theoretical content, audiovisual materials, and tests. The test questions were adapted from a validated scale1717 Araujo JL, Sant’Anna HC, Lima E de FA, Fioresi M, Nascimento L de CN, Primo CC. Molbile App for nursing process in a neonatal intensive care unit. Texto contexto- enferm [Internet]. 2019 [acesso em 05 dez 2021]; 28:e20180210. Disponível em: https://doi.org/10.1590/1980-265X-TCE-2018-0210.
https://doi.org/10.1590/1980-265X-TCE-20...
. The audiovisual materials were produced by the main researcher with the use of her cell phone camera and edited using the VSDC Free Video Editor program. After edited, they were made available on a YouTube channel called SBVida. The Expo and React Native frameworks were used to configure the application, allowing the implementation step on the Android Operating System.

In the second phase, for the content validation, data were collected through an online questionnaire sent to the specialists’ e-mail, who answered about sociodemographic and application evaluation data. For the evaluation and validation of the application content in the Android Operating System, the educational aspects, the didactic resources, and the interface of the virtual environment were considered, evaluated in the following topics: theme relevance; clarity of concepts; coherence of content; amount of information; presentation of images/videos/interfaces connections (links); validity of information; navigability; accessibility, and screen design.

The application was evaluated using a five-point Likert scale, as follows: one = strongly disagree; two = disagree; three = neither disagree nor agree; four = agree; and five = strongly agree. A space for suggestions and comments was inserted after the evaluation of each item. All items that received a score of one or two in the first round of evaluation were revised and forwarded to the experts for further evaluation.

Data were entered into an Excel® spreadsheet and analyzed by relative and absolute frequencies. To calculate validity, the Content Validity Index (CVI) was used, with a minimum acceptable agreement of 0.80. The items whose CVI did not reach 0.80 were submitted to new rounds of evaluation until consensus was reached by the specialists.

The research was initiated after approval by the Ethics Committee on Human Research of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora under Opinion No. 3318209.

RESULTS

In the analysis stage, of the 168 nursing students approached, 44 agreed to answer the questionnaire. Of these, most were women (n=40, 90.9%), studying between the first and fifth year of the course, and with a mean age of 19.8 years. The elements of instructional design that made up the application matrix can be seen in chart 1.

Chart 1
SBVida Mobile Application Instructional Design Matrix. Juiz de Fora, MG, Brazil, 2020-2021

For the development of the SBVida mobile application, following the steps of design, development and implementation, a main page was created, called home, where the application is presented to the user. The home screen aims to direct the user to the central interface of the application, where the user will find the main menu that will allow navigation by icons. After the first access to the application, there is an automatic programming that directs the user to perform the pre-test, entitled Basic Life Support. If the user is unable or does not want to do it at that moment, he or she can choose to access the application through the main menu at any time (Figure 1).

Figure 1
Access menu navigated by icons. Juiz de Fora, MG, Brazil, 2020-2021

After global exploration of the application and assimilation of the theme, the user can take the post-test. At the end, a comparative chart will be generated, which makes it possible to evaluate the level of prior knowledge and the acquired knowledge. It should be noted that the post-test has the same questions as the pre-test, and can be used to measure, by means of simple frequency, the impact of user learning.

It should be noted that the application presented here is the final version validated by 11 specialists. Of these, six (54.6%) were female, aged between 30 and 40 years, with master or doctoral degrees, seven (63.7%) worked in intensive care or urgency/emergency units, five (45.5%) had professional experience between 11 and 20 years and eight (78.3%) lived in the Southeast region of Brazil. Some specialists made suggestions to improve the application, which were incorporated into the final version, such as the creation of a logo and manuals.

Two rounds were carried out among the experts to obtain the degree of agreement higher than 0.80. The overall CVI of the scale resulted in 0.87 as can be seen in table 1.

highlights that, in health, educational applications can streamline and complement teaching. These applications can be used in a face-to-face or remote interface through theoretical content, tests, videos, animations, and interactive games.

Experimental research conducted in Korea with 66 undergraduate nursing students assessed knowledge, skills, and self-efficacy in clinical practice through the prior use of an application with and without interactivity. The experimental group, which used the interactive application, showed significantly higher results (p<0.001) in knowledge, skills, and perceived self-efficacy in procedures such as vital signs, intravenous medication, gastric gavage, and endotracheal suction2424 Kim H, Suh EE. The Effects of an Interactive Nursing Skills Mobile Application on Nursing Students’ Knowledge, Self-efficacy, and Skills Performance: A Randomized Controlled Trial. Asian Nurs Res [Internet]. 2018 [acesso em 09 dez 2021]; 12(1):17-25. Disponível em: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anr.2018.01.001.

.

In the field of undergraduate nursing education, the possibility of accessing an educational application at any time, reviewing and training knowledge can stimulate the development of cognitive skills essential to care1313 Wirawan CA, Arsa SAW.

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nedt.2021.1049...
. It is inferred, therefore, that the integration of educational applications to clinical practice and teaching can mobilize cognitive skills such as critical thinking, clinical judgment, and decision-making in health505 Carbogim F da C, Luiz FS, Oliveira LB de, Braz PR, Santos KB dos, Püschel VA de A.

A study used the application Cuidar Tech Neo (“ Care Tech Neo”) with the objective of stimulating the clinical judgment and decision-making of neonatology nurses. From the study, it was identified that the professionals considered the device as an auxiliary tool in the Nursing process through the crossing of clinical indicators 1717 Araujo JL, Sant’Anna HC, Lima E de FA, Fioresi M, Nascimento L de CN, Primo CC.

.

Regarding BLS, a study tracked the existence of 3,890 apps on the subject from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. However, only five of these apps were validated with sufficient usability and medical accuracy related to international guidelines for the care of CRA2727 Metelmann B, Metelmann C, Schuffert L, Hahnenkamp K, Brinkrolf P.

.

Applications that teach interventions in situations involving imminent risk of death should be based on the best available evidence. In addition, rigorous validation of content by experts and ensuring usability standards are indispensable2727 Metelmann B, Metelmann C, Schuffert L, Hahnenkamp K, Brinkrolf P.

. As for the usability, it provides information and indicators that guide conducts for the identification of a possible victim in CRA and directs to the CPR procedures until the implementation of more complex conducts in a specialized care unit.

It is noteworthy that the content validity achieved by the application was adequate, elucidating the utility as relevant, clear in its concepts, consistent in content and information, in addition to appropriate interface, access, navigability, and design. In the field of cardiac emergencies, other studies on the development and validation of multimedia applications have reached adequate scores and valid contents1111 Gutiérrez-Puertas L, García-Viola A, Márquez-Hernández VV, Garrido-Molina JM, Granados-Gámez G, Aguilera-Manrique G.

. The literature has established a minimum score of 0.8 as ideally adequate to validate the specific and general contents of an instrument or prototype3030 Souza AC de, Alexandre NMC, Guirardello E de B.

https://doi.org/10.5123/S1679-4974201700...
.

It is noteworthy that the study was limited to the creation and content validation of the application through expert evaluation, lacking application in a representative sample of the target population for appearance validation. In addition, the application requires a web-based platform, which may restrict its use by people with limited computer skills and no internet access.

CONCLUSION

Through DIC and content analysis, the SBVida application was, respectively, developed and validated. According to the specialists, the application is relevant, clear in its concepts, coherent in its contents and information, with adequate interface, access, navigability, and design.

It is considered that the SBVida app is suitable for studies assessing the validity of appearance among the population of interest and contributes as an innovative digital tool for teaching BLS to Nursing and Health students.

The SBVida mobile application may contribute to the dissemination of knowledge about BLS and to the further training of students and health professionals in a practical and interactive way. Furthermore, it may be used in research with the objective of comparing knowledge before and after an educational intervention on BLS.
