Abstract

Objective:

to construe and validate a podcast for teen sexual and reproductive health education.

Method:

a methodological study was conducted based on Freire’s perspective. The podcast was construed based on the Knowledge about Sexuality Questionnaire applied to 60 adolescents and an integrative literature review. Eleven experts conducted the validation process. Internal consistency was evaluated using Item-level Content Validity Index ≥0.78 and Cronbach’s alpha ≥0.700.

Results:

four podcast episodes were produced with the adolescents’ participation using the radio play format, addressing sex and sexuality, contraceptive methods, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and other sexually transmitted infections. The podcast episodes last between 8 and 11 minutes and was validated with Item-level Content Validity Index = 0.87 and Cronbach’s alpha = 0.951.

Conclusion:

the podcast was validated for teen sexual and reproductive health education and constitutes a tool for health professional practices, particularly nurses, as well as autonomous use by adolescents.

Descriptors:
Adolescent Health; Adolescent Behavior; Health Education; Sex Education; Educational Technology; Validation Study
