The second phase developed the educational intervention (the visit of the teacher) and in the third phase again the same tool was applied by direct observation of the procedure. The impact was measured up comparing the proportion of good technique realized slides before the study and the ones realized 3 months after the educational intervention
Results: there were evaluated a total of 89 nurses finding before the training an average of successes of 6 slides, and after the training an average of 11, with a value of p minor of 0.05. As for the impact of the training on the program, we find that in 2009 from June to September, the inadequate technique realized slides samples were 208, in 2010 in the same period of time, after the educational strategy they were 151, with a value of p of 0.001.
Conclusion: the Health Sector has documents that indicate about coverage and Impact in the population but very few ones which speak about the quality of the process, which seems reflected in the rates of mortality. The educational strategy of teacher’s visit improves the quality of the specimen collection, decreasing the number of inadequate specimen collection and increasing the detection of injuries, as well as it improves the knowledge in the pupils.
