Use of lives as a health education tool during the covid-19 pandemic

Abstract

The objective was to understand the training experience carried out through online live videos called lives with the theme “health education”, during the social confinement imposed by COVID-19. A qualitative research-action was developed, which used lives as a vehicle for formative action. Nine lives were held: most of the educational content conveyed came from the demand of the hospital and dealt with coping with COVID-19. It is concluded that lives are presented as important tools to operationalize permanent health education, especially in the context of a pandemic. However, they excluded users of the public health system of greatest social vulnerability, who do not have access to mobile technology connected to the Internet.
