ABSTRACT

Objective:

to describe the process of construction and validation of an educational booklet on sexual and reproductive health of serodiscordant couples.

Method:

methodological study, developed in three stages: construction of the booklet, content validation and appearance evaluation, conducted in Recife-PE, Brazil in 2018. The content was validated by 22 judges and the appearance by six serodiscordant couples. The relevance of the items was proven in the Item-Level Content Validity Index value and the cut-off point equal or higher than 0.80 was considered for agreement and pertinence of the booklet, according to purpose, structure, presentation, and relevance.

Results:

all items obtained a percentage of agreement above 80%, as well as an overall average (91%). In content analysis, a significance value (p>0.05) was verified in all items, and the evaluation of appearance obtained 100% agreement.

Conclusion:

the use of technologies as an educational resource promotes individual empowerment and directs self-care.
