Abstract
Objectives
to describe the process of development and evaluation of an educational technology aimed at promoting the care of children with diabetes.
Method
a methodological research developed in two phases: elaboration and evaluation. The elaboration phase comprises: literature review; situational diagnosis and elaboration of illustrations; layout; design and texts. A Likert scale was applied for content evaluation. The data were analyzed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient, Content Validity Index, and level of agreement.
Results
The definition of the theme was based on the demands perceived in the situational diagnosis and literature review. The selection of images was made through photographs, image banks, and Illustrator. The information was built as a comic book with the help of a graphic designer. The technology, evaluated by 12 health professionals, showed a satisfactory level of reliability according to Cronbach's alpha coefficient (0.7121). The Content Validity Index (0.875) and the level of agreement (91.67) were classified as high.
Conclusion
this study presented relevant considerations in promoting care and increasing the scope of possibilities of health professional interventions from the perspective of child- and family-centered care.
