Abstract
OBJECTIVES to report an educational technology construction on nursing professionals' rights. METHODS an experience report on educational technology construction during the crediting of university extension hours in an undergraduate nursing course at a Brazilian public university, between March and June 2023. The Deming cycle was used as a procedural method. RESULTS four meetings were held between students and extension workers. Eight comic books were produced based on the Code of Ethics for Nurses, addressing professional autonomy, fair remuneration, risk-free work, denial of exposure in the media and others. The Deming cycle proved to be an important strategy for constructing products. CONCLUSIONS nursing professionals' rights must be discussed and improved. Educational technologies, such as comic books, provide playful and reflective learning.

Abstract
Healthcare research is traditionally published in academic papers, coded in scientific language, and locked behind paywalls - an inaccessible form for many. Sharing research results with participants and the public in an appropriate, accessible manner, is an ethical practice directed in research guidance. Evidence-based recommendations for the medium used are scant, but science communication advice advocates principles which may be fulfilled well by the medium of comics. We report a randomised crossover study conducted online, comparing participant preferences for research results shared in the medium of a comic, a traditional lay text summary, and the control approach of a scientific abstract. 1236 respondents read all three summaries and ranked their most and least preferred formats. For the most preferred summary, the comic was chosen by 716 (57.9%), lay summary by 321 (26.0%), and scientific abstract by 199 (16.1%) respondents. For the least preferred summary the scientific abstract was chosen by 614 (49.7%), lay summary by 380 (30.7%) and comic by 242 (19.6%). Review of free-text responses identified key reasons for the majority preferring the comic over the others, which included finding this easier to read and understand, more enjoyable to consume, and more satisfactory as a medium of communication.

Abstract
'Public engagement' describes a collaborative relationship between scientists and the public we serve. This has the potential to improve clinical research and is encouraged by key research funding bodies, however the objective evidence base for effective approaches remains limited. Social media algorithms determine what content users see and are known to weight post media differently. While visual content is understood to improve reach and engagement broadly, less is known about which kinds of visuals are most effective for engaging people with clinical research. We present a five year retrospective analysis of public engagement with Facebook posts made by an independent medical research institute, classified by their visual media content. Inclusion of visual post media was associated with positive effects on both reach and engagement. We present medium and strong evidence that this effect was most pronounced for comics compared to other visual media types. This data evidences objective value of using comics and other visual media for public engagement with clinical research. The metrics evaluated are easily accessible on many social media platforms meaning this approach could readily be applied by other researchers to measure the impact of their public engagement efforts, and inform science communication strategies and resource allocation.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the positive and negative coping mechanisms practiced by parents of paediatric inpatients and outpatients in order to prepare a health educational comic aimed at improving these response mechanisms. Data were collected from parents visiting general paediatric outpatient clinics or hospitalisation units, at a children's hospital in a metropolitan city. Data analysis was based on 258 completed surveys received from 308 (83.77%) respondents. Each parent completed a survey that included the Brief-COPE-Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced questionnaire that encompassed 14 subscales of positive and negative coping mechanisms. Parents used both positive and negative coping mechanisms in outpatient clinics and hospitalisation units. Scores involving negative coping mechanisms were increased and associated with the severity of a child's reason for visiting a children's hospital. The lowest scores were reported by parents whose children were seen at outpatient clinics, whereas the highest scores were reported by parents whose children were treated in critical care units. Learning about parents' coping mechanisms provided key information for preparing an electronic health education comic book (electronically distributed free of charge) and can be used to teach and promote the reinforcement of positive rather than negative coping mechanisms.

Abstract
This article reports an effective strategy for recruiting patients with asthma to a qualitative study using an animated comic advertised on social media. An ad spend of NZ$432 on Facebook resulted in 101 study enquiries, and 27 participants taking part in the focus groups, of which 16 (56%) were Māori, the Indigenous Peoples of New Zealand. Representation of Māori amongst participants was over five times higher than their proportion in the local population (9.7%), resulting in data fulfilling the principle of equal explanatory power, an approach to research which can help advance Māori health development and address inequity. The success of this campaign is of particular interest for health researchers in New Zealand where Māori continue to be disproportionately affected by poorer health outcomes compared with non-Māori, particularly those with asthma. Approaches that better engage and support participation of under-represented communities in clinical research are of wider global interest. We reflect on the recruitment strategy and outcomes within a Kaupapa Māori framework, explore how this can be applied more widely in healthcare, and suggest direction for future study and implementation. Lay summary We designed an animated comic to advertise a study for patients with asthma. This was shared locally with a Facebook ad. The approach was highly engaging with the public, and resulted in rapid recruitment. Interestingly, participation of Māori (the Indigenous People of New Zealand) was over five times higher than their proportion in the local population. Māori have poorer health outcomes and increased barriers to healthcare access compared with non-Māori, particularly those with asthma. Approaches which can engage and support under-represented communities to participate in clinical research are of wider global interest. In this article, we reflect on the recruitment strategy and outcomes, and suggest direction for future study and implementation.
