Resumo

Analisar o potencial de eficácia do envio de mensagens validadas (texto e imagens), via WhatsApp®, na promoção da adesão ao uso de máscaras, distanciamento social e associar às variáveis sociodemográficas. Trata-se de um estudo com desenho quase-experimental, do tipo pré e pós-teste com 132 participantes, acompanhados por 60 dias. As mensagens foram enviadas semanalmente junto com os formulários de adesão. Ao final da intervenção os participantes responderam ao questionário de satisfação da pesquisa. Foram realizados testes de comparação e análises descritivas. Os achados deste estudo demonstraram impacto positivo da intervenção no envio de mensagens validadas, via WhatsApp®, na adesão ao uso de máscaras e distanciamento social durante a pandemia da COVID-19. A intervenção proposta neste estudo apresenta potencial de eficácia para adesão às medidas preventivas contra o vírus do SARS-CoV-2 e constitui uma ferramenta valiosa para profissionais de saúde atuarem no combate à pandemia.
