RESUMO

Advances in information technology have been widely used in teaching health care professionals; however, we are not aware of any previous study reporting its use in the instruction of respiratory therapists. The objectives of the present study were to develop materials for teaching bronchial hygiene techniques (BHT), lung expansion techniques (LET) and oxygen therapy (OT) using Web based technology and to evaluate the learning among undergraduate physical therapist students. Each material was divided in physiological principles; physiopathology; and the physical therapy technique itself (BHT, LET and OT). Each division was composed by a theoretical component and audiovisual resources aimed the instruction of BHT, LET and OT. Fifty students from two distinct universities (UA and UB) were invited to participate in the study and 38 accepted (UA: 22 and UB: 16). After taking the first on-line test, students from each university were divided into two groups: control (without on-line access) and online (with on-line access). All of the students performed a second test 15 days after the period of access. The test was developed by five senior physical therapists from large hospitals that did not have access to the material. Our results show that, in the first test, students from the UA had better performance than students of the UB. The online group of the UB had better performance than the control group on the second test (7.75 ± 1.28 and 5.93 ± 0.72 score; p <0.05). On contrary, the performance of the online group of the UA and both controls groups of the UA and UB in the second test was similar to the first test. Our results suggest that respiratory therapy teaching using Web based technology can improve studentslearning.
