TAB-LPP: jogo educativo para prevenção de lesão por pressão

Abstract

Pressure injuries are wounds caused by reduced blood circulation for regular and repetitive periods when exerting pressure on a certain region of the body. It is an incident that requires daily preventive care and health promotion to prevent its occurrence. Develop a virtual board game with guidelines for preventing pressure injuries for nursing professionals and students. This is an applied, exploratory and descriptive study of technological development. The game was developed in stages that consist of: historical survey on the platforms, conceptual review survey, definition of game dynamics, initial board and card design, card creation and definition of components. The study stages include development, testing and validation of the platform with specialist nurses, and then making the final product available for download. There is a need for greater publication of studies on gamification and pressure injuries, as well as the production of games focused on the topic. The gamification strategy is effective in the education process. The game developed will contribute to the development and preparation of nursing professionals and students, resulting in a reduction in the incidence of pressure injuries.
