Estratégias para a Educação à Distância no Ensino Sobre Feridas Crônicas: Revisão de Escopo

Abstract

ABSTRACT
Objective: To map the available scientific evidence on the use of Distance Education (DE) as a training strategy for health professionals in the care of chronic wounds, with emphasis on quality, inclusion, and accessibility. Method: A scoping review developed according to the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis and reported following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). Searches were carried out in the following databases: Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), Nursing Database (BDENF), PubMed, and Google Scholar. After duplicate removal using EndNote, studies were screened and selected in Rayyan according to eligibility criteria. Results: 11 studies, published between 2015 and 2025, were included. The most recurrent strategies were asynchronous online courses, virtual learning environments, and the use of active methodologies, with increasing emphasis on accessibility resources and digital inclusion. Conclusion: The findings reinforce the need for investments in educational technologies adapted to the diversity of health professionals and in policies that consolidate DE as an integral part of continuing education.
