NASBINE-RABEH, Soraia Assad et al. Topical therapy for chronic wounds: contributions of a distance learning unit to the knowledge of nursing students. Enferm. glob. [online]. 2017, vol.16, n.45, pp.69-101.  Epub 14-Dic-2020. ISSN 1695-6141.  https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/eglobal.16.1.237361.

The purpose of this quasi-experimental research was to assess the performance of nursing students on a knowledge test before and after their participation in a distance learning unit on topical therapy for chronic wounds using a virtual learning environment (VLE Moodle). The study was conducted in three stages: application of a pretest, implementation of the intervention in the VLE Moodle, and application of a post-test. The participants were 37 students from the last year of a nursing undergraduate course in a public higher education institution in the state of São Paulo. There was a statistically significant increase in the mean number of correct answers obtained on the knowledge test after the intervention in all fields and items assessed in the test. The use of the VLE Moodle may represent a supporting strategy to strengthen and broaden the access of nursing undergraduates to knowledge on relevant topics for nursing care.
