Home intravenous infusion: educational technologies for the care of people with hemophilia

Abstract

Objective

To develop and validate educational technologies for home care of people with hemophilia on intravenous infusion of clotting factor.

Method

This is a methodological study, developed in three stages: development of educational technologies, content and appearance assessment by judges, and appraisal by people with hemophilia. The educational technologies – a booklet and an infographic - were developed through a literature review. In the assessment stage with judges, the Delphi technique was used in two rounds, through Content Validity Index, agreement greater than 0.80 in regarding clarity of language, practical relevance, and theoretical relevance. In the assessment with the target audience, the level of agreement of positive responses greater than or equal to 80% in the items of organization, writing style, appearance and motivation for reading was considered.

Results

The booklet presented a global content validity index of 0.88 in the first round and 0.98 in the second; and the infographic, 0.88 in the first round and 0.97 in the second. In the assessment of educational technologies by the target audience, the level of agreement of positive responses was higher than 80%.

Conclusion

This study developed educational technologies, a booklet and an infographic, which could contribute to adherence to treatment and promotion of care, by standardizing the guidelines for people with hemophilia in intravenous infusion at home.
