Abstract

Objective

to build and validate a text messages and pictures package to promote breastfeeding in the neonatal period.

Methods

It was a methodological study carried out in four stages: integrative literature review, construction of message and picture package, readability analysis and content and appearance validation. For validation, 11 judges with experience in breastfeeding participated. The criterion for validation was agreement of more than 80%, analysed by means of content and appearance validation indexes.

Results

the final version of the message and picture package presented a content validity index of 0.86, appearance validity index of 0.85 and a convergent correlation validity of 0.73 between content and appearance (p <0.01).

Conclusions and implications for practice

the package of text messages and figures was considered valid in content, appearance and convergence for the promotion of breastfeeding in the neonatal period, constituting appropriate educational technology suitable to be shared via phone messages, in order to approach the nursing mothers, helping them to react to common problems in the neonatal period.
