It also required covering their other roles, such as education and health promotion in a population that needed to be empowered in their self-care. Nursing academics with experience using puppets in health education, designed a program of online works with the purpose of promoting the health of reunited families, preventing COVID-19 and disseminating the role of nursing, supported by the Universidad Católica de la Santísima Concepción (Chile), College of Nurses of Chile and Talcahuano Health Service (Chile). The basic procedures consisted of writing and transmitting 14 original works, which were viewed by family audiences from five continents; live and in its recorded version, with national and international media coverage. During the process, the team had to overcome various limitations related to confinement and the management of technology to generate streaming. Key findings highlighted more than 27,000 views and 4,000 comments. The consulted public considered the message of the works positive, and that the university transmits knowledge using puppets. The experience was presented at academic and artistic events. It is concluded that the puppets allow health education in an entertaining way and allow to capture the attention of the public of all ages. Social networks facilitated the coverage of the works, to promote health and the role of nursing without frontiers. © 2022, Escuela de Psicologia Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile.
