CONSTRUCTION AND VALIDATION OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY ON POST-LIVER TRANSPLANT FOR FAMILY CAREGIVERS

CONSTRUCCIÓN Y VALIDACIÓN DE TECNOLOGÍA EDUCATIVA SOBRE EL PERÍODO POSTERIOR A TRASPLANTES HEPÁTICOS DESTINADA A CUIDADORES FAMILIARES

ABSTRACT

Objective:

to construct and validate an educational booklet on post-liver transplant for family caregivers.

Method:

a methodological study carried out in two stages from August 2021 to July 2023: 1) Construction of the educational booklet aimed at liver transplant patient's family caregivers; and 2) Content and face validation by expert judges and semantic validity with the target audience. For the experts to analyze the validity data, the Content Validity Index was used (≥0.78 per item and ≥0.80 in total), as well as the Exact Binomial Distribution test (p>0.05 and 0.80) and the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (95%) for greater reliability. In the semantic evaluation, the IRaMuTeQ software was used to guide the analysis of the interviews, using Descending Hierarchical Classification and Word Cloud.

Results:

after the bibliographic survey, four axes guided the construction of the booklet. The total Content Validity Index was 0.99 (p>0.05), with excellent reliability (ICC=0.946). The total Face Validity Index was 0.93 (p>0.05), with good reliability (ICC=0.766). In terms of semantics, the analytical categories pointed to a satisfactory level of perception and understanding of the booklet by the target audience.

Conclusion:

the technology is innovative, including caregivers in the education process, and is relevant to post-transplant care. The validation process shows the feasibility of understanding the booklet and the need to use it to improve home care.
