Abstract

The objective of the present study was to analyze the effectiveness of educational interventions for health professionals. The research was developed by a descriptive-exploratory approach, a cross-sectional study using the collection of information on the knowledge of health professionals about hypertension and diabetes care. Data collection was carried out during educational workshops through the application of a pre- and post-intervention assessment instrument for health professionals in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Statistical analysis was performed using a Likert scale, applying the Shapiro-Wilk test for data normality, the Mann-Whitney U test for comparison at the two intervention points, and Fisher's Exact Test to analyze the frequency of responses. All analysis was performed using the free software Jamovi 2.6.26. The study showed a trend of improvement in the distribution of responses, suggesting that the intervention impacted the self-assessment of participants' knowledge. In summary, the research denotes a positive impact on the effectiveness of the actions carried out, with potential stimulation of self-perception, considered an important strategy for professional updating in health care. It is recommended that future interventions use an approach focused on the professional's daily routine for greater effectiveness of actions.
