BOARD GAME ON SYPHILIS PREVENTION FOR WOMEN IN DETENTION

methodological study conducted in three stages: 1) Board game development by means of a theoretical-bibliographical foundation and game design; 2) Content validation by 22 health specialist judges, 10 education specialists and a graphic designer; 3) Appearance evaluation by the target audience of 10 women deprived of their liberty. Data was collected between March 2021 and January 2022, and the psychometric analysis was based on the Likert scale to calculate the Content Validity Coefficient and Intraclass Correlation Coefficient.

Results:

the board game developed was called “Race against Syphilis” and consisted of 50 squares and 34 question cards. When it came to content validation, the judges from the health sector agreed on 13 items, while those from the education and graphic design sectors agreed satisfactorily on all items. After the adjustments, the second version of the board game was sent to the 22 health judges, seven of whom responded, reinforcing the judges' agreement, which was satisfactory in all items. In the appearance assessment with the target audience, all items received 100% agreement.

Conclusion:

the game that has been developed shows evidence of validity, being attractive, dynamic and playful, so that it can help build the knowledge of women in prison about the prevention and syphilis control.
