BOARD GAME AS AN INFORMATION DEVICE ON HIV/AIDS FOR AGED INDIVIDUALS

ABSTRACT

Objective:

to validate the board game called “Mural do Risco” (“Risk Wall”) on the prevention of Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome among aged individuals attending Youth and Adults Education.

Method:

a methodological study developed in the state of Recife, Brazil, which validated the content of the game and its user’s guide from September to November 2020 via e-mail. The participants were 27 evaluators from the health area and another 18 from other fields. The data were analyzed by means of descriptive statistics to obtain the Content Validity Index and the Suitability Assessment of Materials score.

Results:

both obtained a Content Validity Index of 0.90; and the Suitability Assessment of Materials score was 22 points for the game and 24 for the guide. The images were restructured, prioritizing clarity, size and relationships with aged individuals.

Conclusion:

the game and the guide are adequate and, after registration, they will be able to mediate educational practices to prevent Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome among aged individuals in the school context.
