ABSTRACT

Objective

To describe the experience of the process of elaboration of a comic about prevention measures to combat the new coronavirus from the legacy of Florence Nightingale and the Environmental Theory.

Method

It is an experience report of a university extension action about the process of elaboration of a graphic novel that brings the concepts of Florence Nightingale’s environmental theory in the fight against the new coronavirus.

Results

From the brainstorming technique, the comic idea came up and three characters were created: Florence Nightingale, Super Sabão (Super Soap, in free translation), and Luiza. These stages were followed: creation of the script and characters and transfer of the manual drawing to digitization programs. The material produced underwent three revisions: that of nursing students; of the teacher responsible for preparing the material and; of the group of teachers whose purpose was to evaluate the materials produced in extension activities on the theme COVID-19.

Conclusion and implications for practice

The experience in the construction of didactic material such as a graphic novel was a challenge for students and teachers. Stands out the opportunity to discover new pedagogical resources and the production of technological material in times of social distancing.
