Abstract
The objective was to develop and validate an educational technology (ET) for self-care for elderly people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treated in primary health care. A methodological development study was carried out with the preparation of a printed ET validated by 33 expert judges and 41 elderly people who met the healthy functional class criteria of the Brazilian Diabetes Society. The Content Validity Index (CVI) was considered equal to or greater than 0.80 in the objective blocks, content, language, relevance, illustrations, layout, motivation and culture. The ET entitled “Booklet for elderly people on self-care in Diabetes Mellitus”, with 28 pages, presents Nurse Dora teaching self-care through guidance and games. It was validated by the judges with an overall CVI of 0.88 and by the target audience with a CVI of 0.97. The ET went through the entire methodological process with due scientific rigor, being validated by professionals and the target audience, allowing its use to support educational practices to promote self-care for elderly people.
