Mitigation of the occurrence of adverse drug events is addressed as a priority on the World Health Organization (WHO) policy agenda, which recommends including patient safety knowledge in health professions' curricula and lifelong education as measures to reduce risks and avoid harm to patients. In this context, a curricular component was developed on safety in the medication process in a virtual learning environment for the health professions. Aim: To evaluate the consistency, quality and effects of a distance education intervention, structured by open educational resources, to improve knowledge about safe medication in health professionals and students. Method: A study with an uncontrolled quasi-experimental design with the development and evaluation of a massive open online course (MOOC) in Moodle platform, with a workload of 30 hours. Two evaluation questionnaires were applied, respectively, one of satisfaction with six questions and knowledge tests (pre and post) containing seven multiple choice questions. Results: The module was made made available in the AVASUS - Virtual Learning Environment of the Brazilian Unified Health System, in February 2018, being offered to professionals and students in the health area. Of the 2,256 participants enrolled, 731 (64.7%) were included for the evaluation of the reaction and learning, answering the satisfaction questionnaire and the tests (pre and post). The questionnaire used for satisfaction assessment presented Cronbach's alpha of 0.8, which showed a good internal consistency. The satisfaction evaluation presented a median of 1.0, that is, 100% of the score, demonstrating that the method and resources used in the course were well evaluated as an educational strategy. Regarding the level of learning, after the application of the pre- and post-tests, the increase in grades from 8.2 to 8.9 (p <0.05) was observed. The relative improvement was approximately 40%, which demonstrated significant learning of participants. Pharmacy was the professional category that presented better performance in the tests, with a relative improvement of approximately 65%, (p <0.05). Conclusions: The strategy used in this MOOC, with the use of open educational resources, proved to be effective for teaching patient safety in the medication process at the levels of satisfaction and learning.Acesso AbertoSegurança do pacienteEducação continuadaEducação à distânciaErros de medicaçãomasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE: ENSINO NA SAÚDE
