Abstract

This descriptive qualitative study aimed to
identify the opinion of students in relation to the use of
educational hypermedia on Peripheral Venipuncture in
the teaching of nursing. Interviews were held with 12
students of nursing from a public university, during the
first semester of 2013. The interviews, through content
analysis, allowed the identification of the nuclei of meaning
and categorization, and gave rise to four categories:
Influence of the hypermedia course on the learning,
Educational technology as support for proximate teaching,
Hypermedia’s relationship with professional practice, and
Difficulties in access. Hypermedia presented positive
results, as the majority of the students reported that the
material helped in the learning and led to autonomy
and interactivity at the time of studying. However, some
mentioned difficulty in accessing the hypermedia, mainly
related to the server used. Thus, hypermedia was shown to
be a valid tool for use, as it promoted learning and awoke
the interest and curiosity of the students.
