ABSTRACT

Background:Success after liver transplantation involves different particularities. As important as the surgical procedure is the need for health information for patients, fundamental educational strategies facilitate the understanding of the guidelines provided by the health team. Objectives: To describe the process of elaboration and validation of an educational booklet for a liver transplant recipient. Materials and Methods: Methodological research, for the elaboration and validation of an educational technology, developed in three stages: bibliographic survey, elaboration of the booklet and validation of the material. Validation took place between May and August 2021 with professionals from the care team and patients from a specialized outpatient clinic of a university hospital. To analyze the validity, the Content Validity Index (CVI) and the Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) program were adopted for data storage and analysis.Results:The CVI obtained with the 17 expert judges was 0.98, and with 20 patients, 0.99, which proves to be valid material. Conclusion: The booklet is valid and adequate for information to transplant patients, suggesting its implementation in the post-liver transplant routine as a guiding resource for care in order to make the process more effective.
