Abstract

Objective: To develop and validate educational materials on HIV. Method: A methodological study conducted in three stages: 1. Development of materials based on HIV-related protocols; 2. Validation of the materials by experts using the validated instrument, Suitability Assessment of Materials (SAM). Consensus among experts was determined using the Content Validity Index (CVI), which was deemed satisfactory with a score of ?0.80; 3. Evaluation by users from a university hospital according to predefined criteria. Results: Three educational materials were developed: “Combined Prevention,” “HIV Diagnosis, Transmission, and Prevention,” and “Pre-exposure Prophylaxis and Post-exposure Prophylaxis for HIV.” Validation by four experts resulted in SAM scores of 70.39%, 66.67%, and 61.90%, respectively. All materials achieved a CVI?0.90. In the user evaluation, ten participants considered the materials appropriate according to the established criteria. Conclusion: The three educational materials developed were validated by experts and considered adequate by the target audience.
