Encephalic Vascular Accident (EVA) occurs when the vessels that carry blood to the brain become clogged or ruptured, causing a palsy in the cerebral region that is deprived of blood circulation. The material includes a case study of Mr. Paul.

Type of Material:

Open Learning Respository

Recommended Uses:

This can be used for all caregivers, health care professionals, in class - both individually or in groups.

Technical Requirements:

Internet Access
Web browser

Identify Major Learning Goals:

Learners will

Describe the context of health care for the elderly person with disability who suffered an Encephalic Vascular Accident.

Target Student Population:

This is appropriate for professional medical students, including first-year nursing students and students in alternative health professions.

Prerequisite Knowledge or Skills:

Must be familiar with computers and online resources.
This OER can be used in either a community health or medical-surgical nursing course, probably early in the nursing journey. It could also be used in a fundamentals or foundation course as it introduces the singular therapeutic project.

Content Quality

Rating:

Strengths:

This is a good basic case study that learners can use to understand the steps and purpose of the STP.
The feedback provided is also useful for learners to follow up if they have further questions about the process.

Concerns:

Some wording is confusing to understand. The family, being very preoccupied with the EVA’s sequelae, decided to seek instructions regarding ways to help him during the multidisciplinary rehabilitation process and to ensure his quality of life as an elderly person, from that moment on.
The phrasing "preoccupied with EVA's sequelae" would need to be better explained using objective observations.
No link to evidence-based practice or reference page noted. This is concerning for educational materials.

Potential Effectiveness as a Teaching Tool

Rating:

Strengths:

The feedback is clear and can promote learning.
The material is a good basic case study that learners can use to understand the steps and purpose of the Singular Therapeutic Project (STP).
The feedback provided is also useful for learners to follow up if they have further questions about the process.

Concerns:

Again, scholarly citations and references are highly recommended.

Ease of Use for Both Students and Faculty

Rating:

Strengths:

Technical navigation is easy to use.
The wording is clear.
Font is appropriate and clear.
Text is selectable.

Concerns:

Images do not include alt text.

Other Issues and Comments:

Consider providing clarity in phrases.
For example, As we can see on Mr. Paul’s case, being an elderly person with disability requires health care according to his demands and needs related to the Encephalic Vascular Accident, in order to provide more quality to his life.
This sentence is unclear. Would recommend rephrasing.
This is a good introductory case study that can be used in several areas of a nursing curriculum or in a home health/community health setting. It allows the learner to demonstrate understanding of the Singular Therapeutic Project (STP) and encourages further discussion of the issue.
