Educational animation about home care with premature newborn infants

Abstract

ABSTRACT Objective: to elaborate and validate animation on the care of premature newborn infants at home. Method: Methodological study in three stages: integrative review on home care; animation design based on Roper, Logan and Tierney’s Model named “Activities of Living” (ALs), and validation of content and appearance by neonatology specialists. The steps to develop the animation were: creation of storyboard; definition of objects; specification of keyframes; and frame generation among key frameworks. Results: Of the 53 articles selected in the review, care was extracted and grouped into the twelve activities of living. Three storyboards were created to embrace all care and validated by 22 experts. Most of the care had matches above 80%. Conclusion: The validation of the storyboards made it possible to glimpse the changes in scenes and dialogues in a clearer and more detailed way. Animation is an innovative educational technology to support teaching and learning of parents and family.
