INTRODUCTION

The coronavirus (Covid-19) emerged in late 2019 and caused a pandemic in March 2020, leading to several complications and many deaths11 World Health Organization (WHO). Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Situation report - 72. [Internet]. 2020 [cited in 2020 Sept. 18].Available in: https://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/331685/nCoVsitrep01Apr2020-eng.pdf.

. Pregnant and postpartum women were included in the risk group due to the physiological and immunological changes provided by pregnancy, making them more susceptible to complications and morbidity, and mortality from Covid-1922 Alves AKR, Silva BBL da, Machado LFCB, Silva GB da, Amorim Filho JV, Serejo Júnior F das C da S, et al.

According to the Brazilian Obstetric Observatory Covid-19 (OOBr Covid-19), maternal deaths accounted for 1,482 in 2021, with a high case-fatality rate of 12.5%, representing more than three times the number of deaths reported in 2020. Brazil has the highest maternal mortality rate due to the novel coronavirus infection55 Rodrigues A, Lacerda L, Francisco RP. Brazilian Obstetric Observatory. OOBr Covid-19.

.

As a result of this panorama, the routines of health services have been changed, and this has caused inconvenience to the population and health workers, making it essential to offer the best guidelines for this population to protect themselves from infection and avoid transmission of the disease77 Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG). The Royal College of Midwifes. Coronavirus (COVID-19). Infection in pregnancy. Information for healthcare professionals. Union Street [Internet]. 2020 [cited in 2020 June 22]. Available in: https://www.rcog.org.uk/globalassets/documents/guidelines/2020-07-24-coronavirus-covid-19-infection-in-pregnancy.pdf.
https://www.rcog.org.uk/globalassets/doc...
.

These changes caused difficulties and limitations in health care experienced within the Obstetric Emergency Service, among them: failures to follow the flow of care proposed by the hospital’s contingency plan; omission of respiratory symptoms by pregnant women and companions; prohibition of the companion throughout the hospitalization of the pregnant woman; and the high number of telephone calls to the sector, to obtain information from the pregnant woman, interfering in the continuity of care.

Given the need to optimize the health service and such facts in the national scenario, it is understood that educational technologies are resources that enable the construction of learning, enhancing the knowledge acquired by the users of this technology88 Martins V, Almeida J. Educação em tempos de pandemia no Brasil: saberesfazeres escolares em exposição nas redes e a educação on-line como perspectiva. Redoc. [Internet]. 2020 [cited in 2021 Dec. 01]; 4(2):215-24.

http://dx.doi.org/10.12957/redoc.2020.51...
. Therefore, they become an important tool for disseminating information to the population and can minimize the problems experienced in practice through safer information to pregnant women and their companions88 Martins V, Almeida J. Educação em tempos de pandemia no Brasil: saberesfazeres escolares em exposição nas redes e a educação on-line como perspectiva. Redoc. [Internet]. 2020 [cited in 2021 Dec. 01]; 4(2):215-24.

http://dx.doi.org/10.12957/redoc.2020.51...
. Because of this process, the importance of nurses in ensuring care through health education, reception, and guidance stands out. In the context of the coronavirus pandemic, social distancing has favored a significant increase in the use of the Internet as a source of information. Thus, it contributed to less exposure of women in health institutions, facilitated the provision of guidance, and, consequently, prevented Covid-19 99 Carvalho LM, Nascimento FA, Granato RR, Damasceno OC, Teixeira FB, Sato DA.

.

The infographic represents an important educational tool for nurses in health promotion and dissemination of guidelines; in this sense, this technology is a practical, easy, and objective resource that integrally relates images, symbols, and words and provides a better understanding of the content exposed 1313 Sato SN.

.

Given the risks for pregnant women and their families, the importance of the organization and quality of care in Obstetric Emergencies, and the efficiency of infographics as a technological resource in the teaching-learning process, the objective of this article is to describe the process of construction and validation of educational infographics with guidelines for pregnant women and companions in obstetric care in the context of Covid-19.

METHOD

Methodological research of technological production based on Instructional System Design (ISD) guidelines. ISD assists in planning educational materials based on the identification and solution of an educational need, seeking efficiency and effectiveness in the expected learning 1414 Constancio FG, Nogueira DX, Nogueira JC. Proposta de modelo ADDIE estendido com aplicação nos cursos autoinstrucionais mediados por tecnologias na Escola Nacional de Administração Pública. Encontro Virtual de Documentação em Software Livre. Minas Gerais (BH); 2016.. This method divides the development of these educational actions into phases. It is known as the ADDIE model(Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation), which in Portuguese means Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation 1414 Constancio FG, Nogueira DX, Nogueira JC. Proposta de modelo ADDIE estendido com aplicação nos cursos autoinstrucionais mediados por tecnologias na Escola Nacional de Administração Pública. Encontro Virtual de Documentação em Software Livre. Minas Gerais (BH); 2016..

In this study, aiming at organizing the infographic production, the ADDIE methodological proposal consisted of three moments: pre-production, production, and post-production. The pre-production moment represents the initial phase of production, being formed by the Analysis phase, in which the main doubts of pregnant women and their companions were identified based on interviews with five care nurses whom they have at least one year of practice in the unit and experience before and after the Covid-19 pandemic, and work in the Obstetric Emergency of a southern hospital, one year of practice in the unit and experience before and after the Covid-19 pandemic, and work in the Obstetric Emergency of a hospital in southern Brazil, and also in the scoping review of 25 publications to map the current evidence of care for pregnant women and guidance relevant to them and their companions in the context of Covid-19. This phase was carried out in the period from January to May 2021.

The data from the scoping review were organized into two thematic categories: Recommendations to pregnant women in the face of Covid-19 and Main information to pregnant women and companions in the obstetric service in the context of Covid-19. This material was organized into a manuscript for later publication.

The interviews were transcribed in full and then read, and repeated themes were highlighted for clippings. From these clippings, coding units were chosen due to common characteristics, separated by color, and organized in a table. With the coding units chosen, the next step was the categorization that allowed gathering a greater number of information and thus correlating classes of elements to order them, resulting in three thematic categories: Information relevant to obstetric care in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic; Suggestions for improvements in the care of pregnant women; and Strategies for the guidance of pregnant women and companions. The data were analyzed using Bardin’s content analysis(1515 Bardin L. Análise de Conteúdo. Lisboa: Edições 70; 2011.) and served as subsidies for the next phase.

At the time of pre-production, the Design phase was also developed, where the selection of contents and the structuring and design of the product were contemplated through the coding and categorization of the guidelines suggested in the interviews and the categorization of the information mapped in the scoping review. The content generated the guidance covered in the infographic.

At the time of production, the third phase of the ADDIE method was contemplated, Development, with constructing the infographic by collecting relevant information on the subject. Initially, the researcher constructed the text in Microsoft Word, addressing topics with the main information that should compose the material. Subsequently, it detailed each topic through items with relevant guidelines/recommendations, always paying attention to adapting a language suitable for the target audience. With the structure of the infographic ready, the researcher also suggested ideas for interactive and attractive images that could represent key points of the technology items. After constructing and structuring the infographic outline, it was sent to a professional graphic designer, who made the product creation possible. This took place in the period from June to October 2021.

In the post-production moment, the execution of the project is carried out, consisting of Implementation and Evaluation. The Implementation is the offer of the project, and it is in this phase that the validation of the product occurs. The Evaluation phase corresponds to the evaluation of the technology produced, testing its operation from the analysis of the results of the guidelines against the proposed objectives so that the product is improved 1414 Constancio FG, Nogueira DX, Nogueira JC.

https://repositorio.ufcspa.edu.br/jspui/...
. This last evaluation step was not carried out and will be conducted in a subsequent survey.

In this research, expert validation was conducted between November 2021 and March 2022 to ensure the quality of the product before it was distributed to the target audience. For selecting this validation committee, an intentional non-probabilistic sampling was used, with a minimum number of five and a maximum of ten participants 17, selected from the curriculum in the Lattes Platform. The presence of the following criteria defined the experts: clinical experience in obstetrics, specialization course in obstetrics, master’s degree and doctorate, and publication of research and articles in the area of interest.

In total, 56 experts were invited; of these, nine participated from different regions of the country. The validation was carried out in two rounds, and the results were evaluated using the Content Validity Index 1818 Polit DF, Beck CT, Owen SV. Is the CVI an acceptable indicator of content validity? Appraisal and recommendations. Research in Nursing & Health. [Internet]. 2007 [cited in 2021 Nov. 07]; 30(4):459-67. Available in: http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/nur.20199.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/nur.20199...
.

The data collection instrument for the evaluation was a questionnaire in Google Forms, distributed in blocks, containing questions related to the identification data of the experts, evaluation of the content from the analysis of the clarity and relevance of the guidelines, and are understandable and adequate to achieve the proposed objectives and appearance of the illustrative images and structure of the educational technology.

To determine the validity of the infographic, the Content Validity Index (CVI) was used as a reference. To calculate the CVI, the content of each item was judged individually, as well as the overall content and, finally, the appearance of the infographic. The experts judged each statement through the Likert scale, with a score of one to four: 1- fully adequate; 2- adequate; 3- partially adequate; and 4- inadequate. The calculation was given by the sum of answers 1 and 2 assigned by the experts. The result is divided by the total number of answers.

In the first round, the desirable CVI was greater than or equal to 0.7, and items with CVI less than 0.7 were reviewed and reformulated according to the experts’ suggestions. In the second round, only the items that had changed were validated. The overall CVI of the instrument was calculated by summing all the separately calculated CVIs and dividing by the number of variables 1818 Polit DF, Beck CT, Owen SV. Is the CVI an acceptable indicator of content validity? Appraisal and recommendations. Research in Nursing & Health. [Internet]. 2007 [cited in 2021 Nov. 07]; 30(4):459-67. Available in: http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/nur.20199.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/nur.20199...
.

The study was approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), according to Opinion Number: 4.583.205.

RESULTS

The infographic contains six topics, addressing care for the prevention of Covid-19 infection, guidance on the prodromal signs of labor and when to seek maternity care, guidance on what to bring to the maternity ward, guidance on hospitalization, and the necessary care for pregnant women and their companions.

The educational technology was developed based on the scoping review and themes reported in the interviews with the nurses. The contents described by the nurses were: suggestions for information regarding the presence and participation of the companion; information for pregnant women and their families about the signs of alarm and labor; what personal belongings the woman needs to take to the maternity hospital; hospitalization time; coronavirus prevention measures; the flow of care during the pandemic; and educational strategies for disseminating this information to the target audience.

The scoping review selected 25 studies and presented the main guidelines and information for pregnant women and their companions in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, such as correct use of masks; hand hygiene; respiratory etiquette; avoiding close contact with other people; the companion should not present flu symptoms; should avoid movement around the hospital; and not to change companions, culminating in content that contributed to the construction of the infographic. The researcher built the infographic’s content with texts and images to facilitate understanding and contemplate all the necessary information.

The validation stage took place in two rounds, and the 38 items had their contents validated by experts. The group had nine experts in the first round and eight in the second round, most of whom were female (88.9%), aged 29 to 56 years, with an average age of 44 years, living in the Southeast region (43.9%), followed by the South region (33.3%) and the Midwest region (22.8%). All had a doctorate, and five were university professors (55.6%), three obstetric nurses (33.3%), and one doctor (11.1%). It was observed that the length of service ranged from six to 35 years, with an average of 18 years.

After the experts’ evaluation, the CVI was calculated for each item. In the first round, 27 items (66%) achieved satisfactory agreement (≥ 70%). Items that did not achieve the expected CVI were adjusted according to the experts’ suggestions.

To calculate the CVI, the content of each item was judged individually, as well as the overall content and, finally, the appearance of the infographic. At first, the clarity and relevance of the content of each topic were assessed, validating all the items of the six topics that make up the material. Next, the structure of the educational technology and the content, in general, were checked. Finally, the appearance, evaluating lines, shapes, colors, and images of the infographic, and whether these harmonized with the information content.

The experts were asked to judge each statement using a Likert scale, with a score of one to four, being 1- totally adequate, 2- adequate, 3- partially adequate, and 4- inadequate. The calculation was given by the sum of the answers 1 and 2 attributed by the experts for each item. The result is divided by the total of answers.

The desirable CVI was greater than or equal to 0.7 in the first round. When the CVI was lower than 0.7 for any criterion analyzed, the items’ contents were revised and reformulated according to the experts’ suggestions. Some items received suggestions from only one expert. However, regardless of the number of suggestions, these were analyzed and sometimes accepted, given the relevance of the suggestion. The decision to accept or not accept the suggestions was based on the relevant literature.

In the second round, only the items that underwent modifications were validated, of which 13 (54.2%) reached a CVI of 100%, seven (29.2%) reached a CVI of 83.3%, and four items (16.6%) were excluded with a CVI of 66.7%, according to the contributions of the expert committee. The instrument received an average CVI of 83.3%.

The infographic (Figure 1) consists of six topics, namely: care for coronavirus prevention; information on when to look for the maternity hospital, indicating which signs pregnant women should be alert to and seek care; guidelines on when to arrive at the maternity hospital; information on what items are needed to take to the maternity hospital; information pertinent to the pregnant woman and her companion about hospitalization; and information about discharge during the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition to addressing the guidance needs identified in nurses’ practice, the infographic presents information dynamically and attractively, facilitating the understanding of pregnant women and their companions.

The infographic is intended for pregnant women and their companions who seek care in the Obstetric Emergency of the institution where the research was developed. It will be implemented and evaluated during the post-production stage, on the institution’s website and social networks, in the Basic Health Units of the municipality, to be disseminated and used by the target audience and health professionals.

DISCUSSION

The infographic with guidelines for pregnant women and their companions in obstetric care was designed to conduct the care process and the nurse’s health education work concerning pregnant women’s and family members’ doubts identified from the nurses’ perceptions. In their care practice, nurses must welcome, care for, and guide clients and their families based on effective health education to provide quality of life to service users 1919 Farias DL, Nery RN, Santana ME.

https://doi.org/10.21675/2357-707X.2019....
.

Thus, the educational technology developed aims to offer differentiated assistance, with implications for nursing practice and obstetric health, showing that health education carried out by nurses is fundamental for the construction of knowledge by pregnant women 2020 Pereira VD, Andrade EA, Silva WA, Silverio ML, Correia JM. A atuação do enfermeiro obstetra e sua efetividade na educação em saúde às gestantes. Braz. J. Dev. [Internet]. 2020 [cited in 2021 Nov. 07]; 6(8):62890-901. Available in: http://dx.doi.org/10.34117/bjdv6n8-646.
http://dx.doi.org/10.34117/bjdv6n8-646...
. To promote further dissemination of this knowledge, it is important to include the accompanying persons in this education process 2121 Conceição JF. Atuação do enfermeiro na consulta de pré-natal na atenção primária em saúde. Encontro Científico EMESCAM. Espírito Santo: Vitória; 2018.. In this sense, the infographic guides the presence of companions at different stages of care for pregnant women/parturients.

The development of educational technologies allows nurses to act as mediators of activities in the health area, affirming their feasibility and applicability in practice 1919 Farias DL, Nery RN, Santana ME. O enfermeiro como educador em saúde da pessoa estomizada com câncer colorretal. Enferm. Foco. [Internet]. 2019 [cited in 2021 Nov. 07]; 10(1):35-9.

https://doi.org/10.21675/2357-707X.2019....
. Thus, the infographic was designed to assist the work of nurses in Obstetric Emergencies, being a tool to assist in effective, humane, and safe care. Through health education, it is possible to prioritize health demands, foster the creation of bonds between patients and professionals, and favor reception and humanized care 2222 Quental LL, Nascimento LC, Leal LC, Davim RM, Cunha IC.

https://doi.org/10.1590/2176-457323502...
. Studies have identified that learning through infographics is 6.5 times greater than reading text2424 Scott H, Fawkner S, Oliver C, Murray A.

.

The instrument presents content and appearance validity, gathering potential to be used by pregnant women and their companions, and this ratifies the importance of validation by experts by ensuring the improvement of the content of the technology, the use of reliable information, easy to understand, ensuring credibility, reliability, practicality, and responsiveness, making it reliable, accurate and consistent.

As a limitation of the study, we highlight the fact that a stage of data collection was not carried out in the presence of pregnant women since the study took place in the middle of the pandemic, avoiding close contact with them and prolonging their exposure in a hospital environment, however, the interviews with nurses aimed to identify the doubts presented by women when seeking care in the Obstetric Emergency.

CONCLUSION

The construction and validation of the infographic made it possible to identify the main doubts of pregnant women and their companions during their obstetric care, intending to minimize the discomforts generated by the pandemic moment and make available to the population an educational technology that can contribute to the dissemination of current and evidence-based information, which can have a positive impact on the care provided.

Therefore, the educational technology presented is expected to be an important technological resource in disseminating information among pregnant women and their families. It will also help health professionals in health promotion and prevention of injuries to the obstetric population.
