SUMMARY:

Healthcare-Associated Infections are recognized as complex, multifactorial and encompass all assistance offered to patients in different healthcare settings. They present themselves as a problem of global magnitude and public health, raising growing concern among health professionals, care managers and formulators of public health policies. The health professional who works in the health care-related infection control sector, infection controllers, focuses on the maximum reduction in the incidence and severity of infections and active surveillance is the main tool for their work. The motivation to develop this study is based on the difficulty reported by infection controllers in structuring and carrying out their active surveillance and the scarcity of practical materials aimed at supporting their practice. The objective was to develop a virtual course on active surveillance for healthcare-related infection controllers. This is a methodological study, subdivided into two stages: 1) identification and mapping of the strategies used to operationalize epidemiological surveillance of infection, through active surveillance, at different levels of health care, based on scoping review; 2) Construction of the virtual infection surveillance course. To construct the virtual surveillance course, the five phases recommended by Falkembach were used, namely: Analysis and planning, modeling, implementation, and evaluation and maintenance. The results obtained were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The Scoping review resulted in a total of 92 scientific productions, produced predominantly on the European continent (23.34%) and in the English language (93.48%). The majority of studies found are observational studies (34.78%) classified at level 4.b of evidence. Regarding the strategy used to carry out active surveillance, the most frequent found is screening by culture results (89.13%), with the prospective surveillance method (73.91%) and the type of microbiological surveillance (84.78 %). The measures adopted also included hand hygiene (21.73%) and the lack of standardization available in relation to active surveillance (43.26%) was a difficulty encountered by infection controllers. By consolidating the course content, it consists of 4 modules (introduction to healthcare-related infections; active surveillance in infection; active surveillance, epidemiological surveillance and active search for healthcare-related infections; active surveillance and nurse's role), arranged in 12 classes, totaling 20 hours, hosted on the Google ClassRoom platform. In effect, the course constructed is innovative and allows infection controllers to have access to scientific content that equips their practice and provides the necessary knowledge for structuring active surveillance in the health service where they work.
