Prisons. Health professionals. Information Technology. Education
The Virtual Learning Object (VLO) is characterized as an interactive, reusable instrument that stimulates the student's autonomy. It is an alternative to support the teaching of subjects not explored in formal education, such as penitentiary health. The prisons issue is gaining ground following the publication of legislation specifically addressing access to and assistance to persons deprived of their liberty in Brazil, such as the National Policy on Integral Attention to the Health of Persons Deprived of Liberty in the Prison System, which reaffirms the insertion of health professionals in Brazilian prisons, with the objective of guaranteeing full and resolute assistance to persons deprived of their liberty throughout their prison itinerary. Thus, this study has as a general objective to construct and validate an VLO to subsidize teaching on penitentiary health to professionals and students in the health area. For this, the specific objectives are: to identify the necessary items to compose the virtual object of learning to subsidize the teaching on penitentiary health; develop the virtual learning object to subsidize prison health education for professionals and students in the health area; validate content, appearance, and use of the virtual learning object. This is a methodological study, which presents a mixed approach, whose stages follow the model proposed by Pasquali, consisting of three stages: theoretical, empirical or experimental procedures, and analytical or statistical procedures, involving individual interviews with professionals prison health and a scoping review in order to recognize the information necessary for the composition of VLO. Subsequently, after the selection of the structure and layout, the VLO will be developed, with an improvement based on the content and appearance validation process by specialists, using the Delphi Technique, which consists of successive rounds of application of the questionnaires for VLO evaluation by judges. For the selection of judges, the eligibility criteria proposed by Fehring will be adopted. Finally, usability validation will be developed, also developed from the Delphi Technique, whose judges will be undergraduates and professionals in the health area. The ethical principles established by Resolution No. 466 of December 12, 2012 will be respected.
