Abstract

Fibromyalgia is a rheumatic syndrome that interferes with a person's functional capacity and quality of life. It is important to note that the initial non-pharmacological strategy should be patient education, focusing on the process of adaptation and coping with fibromyalgia and quality of life. The objective of this study was to validate educational material to promote health in fibromyalgia. The material was validated using the Delphi technique with 23 experts judges (professionals with experience in rheumatology, education, and health promotion) and 23 target audience judges (people with fibromyalgia). The groups evaluated the difficulty and convenience of the educational material. Content validation was performed using the Content Validity Index and the Kappa Coefficient. The educational material obtained the feasibility from the expert judges and the target audience, with mean values of all evaluated items of 0.78±0.03 and 0.91±0.06, respectively. Additionally, reliability also showed mean values of all evaluated items classified as good, excellent, and perfect for the expert judges (0.97±0.05) and the target audience (0.86±0.10). It is concluded that the educational material regarding content and language was validated and showed reliability, proving to be a relevant instrument for the target audience and expert judges.
