Introduction: Healthcare-Associated Infections are one of the most frequent adverse events in the provision of care in health services, representing a threat to patient safety and an important public health problem, with a significant impact on morbidity and mortality and quality of life. Among the Healthcare-Related Infections, Bloodstream Infections associated with the use of Central Venous Catheters stand out, devices widely used in hospital environments for drug administration, parenteral nutrition and hemodynamic monitoring. The correct insertion, maintenance and manipulation of the Central Catheter are fundamental for the prevention of these infections, reinforcing the need for educational strategies that promote safe and evidence-based practices. Objective: To develop an educational and interactive audiovisual resource on Central Venous Catheter insertion and maintenance bundles, based on the best scientific evidence, aimed at health professionals, students and residents in a university hospital. Method: This is a methodological study, with a quantitative approach and focus on technological production. The study will be underpinned by the Design-Based Research methodology and will be carried out in stages, starting with problem identification, context analysis, and literature review on evidence-based practices. This will be followed by the planning and creation of the prototype of the audiovisual resource, which will include videos and educational interactions. The prototype will be tested with the target audience for adjustments and improvements, and after final implementation, the feature will be monitored and evaluated for its impact on the prevention of CVC-associated infections. The goal is to improve safety practices and provide effective and interactive education for the health team. The construction of the audiovisual material will be systematized based on principles of critical pedagogy and educational technologies applied to health, aiming to promote significant learning by health professionals regarding the prevention of IPCS. Expected results: It is expected that the realization of this research will result in the elaboration and validation of an educational audiovisual material, built based on updated scientific evidence and in accordance with the institutional protocols for the prevention of Primary Bloodstream Infection.
