RESUMO

An updating course on indirect blood pressure measurement, using mobile technology, was offered to nursing professionals from three Basic Health Units of the Western District of the city of Ribeirão Preto. This exploratory and descriptive study had the participation of 11 nursing auxiliaries. These professionals were evaluated in four different phases: diagnostic, processual and summative assessments and use of mobile technology and theory and practice evaluation. Results indicate gaps in knowledge related to aspects that involve indirect blood pressure measurement, when evaluating the educational activities in the processual phase. Most professionals had a good performance on accomplishing the procedure after the course. All 11 (100.0%) positively evaluated the use of the mobile device (Tablet) in continuing education at service, indicating they would like to participate in other activities using the resource. It was concluded that this study has limitations due to the small number of participants and the rules established by the service as to the custody of equipments. Thus, further studies should be proposed in order to better scale the aspects identified by this study.
