Assessment of undergraduate students in use of hypermedia education on peripheral venous punch

Abstract

This is a qualitative study that aim s to describe the opinion of nursing students on the use of an educational hypermedia on Peripheral Venipuncture. We interviewed 16 nursing students of a private university on second semester of 2014. The interviews allowed the identification of units of meaning and categorization by content analysis and led to four categories: influence of hyper- media on learning, educational technology as support to teaching classroom, c ontribution of hypermedia for professional practice and access difficulties. Hypermedia showed positive results as most scholars reported t hat the material helped in learning and generated autonomy and int e- ractivity in the moment of studying. However some reported difficulties in access hypermedia r e- lated mainly to the server used. So hypermedia proved to be a valuable tool to use, since it favored the learning and aroused the interest and curiosity of students.
