Self-directed Learning by E-book for the Control and Prevention of HCAI

Abstract

[EN]A teaching experience related to the evaluation of self-learning in the control and prevention of Healthcare-Related Infections (HCAI) in healthcare settings is presented. For this purpose, we have con sidered the measurement of self-learning through the pedagogical E-book designed for this reason. The measurement procedure aims to determine the assessment made by nursing students, since they are the ones to whom this training support is addressed. The pro cedure initially poses to the students the completion of different tasks that are managed in the training support. Subsequently, an individual evaluation of its use is made by means of a structured questionnaire and another group evaluation by means of a focus group. The results show the functionality of the E-book to transfer the training contents on control and prevention of HCAI in health care settings in an autonomous way, as well as to acquire and develop key competencies in the professional practice of nursing.
