ABSTRACT
Objective
to describe the process of development, evaluation, and adaptation of educational videos on insulin application whose target audience was adult patients and caregivers.
Methods
descriptive and methodological study, carried out in three phases: development, evaluation, and adaptation. The development of the videos was based on a literature review and the municipality's protocol. The evaluation was carried out by experts by applying an instrument designed by the researchers, and the level of agreement between the experts was assessed by the content validity index, which guided the material adaptation process.
Results
the videos were developed to address the main critical points related to insulin application. The items that obtained a content validity index < 0.8 were reformulated.
Conclusion and implications for practice
two videos were made addressing insulin transport, storage, preparation and application, sharps disposal, and blood glucose monitoring. The educational videos made in the present study can be considered tools that contribute to education in diabetes mellitus and are useful for standardizing guidelines. The description of the development, evaluation, and adaptation process can encourage other professionals to develop materials that meet the needs found in their work contexts and, consequently, improve and qualify the care provided to their patients.
