INTRODUCTION

Hypertension is a multifactorial condition with high global prevalence(11 World Health Statistics 2017: monitoring health for the sustainable development goals [Internet]. Geneva: WHO; 2017 [cited 2018 Feb 14]. Available from: http://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/10665/255336/1/9789241565486-eng.pdf

). It represents the main risk factor for cardiovascular complications, such as stroke, acute myocardial infarction, chronic kidney disease, as well as atherosclerotic diseases, especially when associated with overweight. The non-control of these cardiovascular risk factors reflects directly in the budget of the Ministries of Health, Social Security and Economy(22 Oliveira GMM, Mendes M, Malachias MVB, Morais J, Moreira Filho O, Coelho AS, et al. [Guidelines for the management of arterial hypertension in primary health care in Portuguese-speaking countries]. Rev Port Cardiol [Internet]. 2017[cited 2018 Feb 14];36(11):789-98.Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.repc.2017.10.006 Portuguese.

).

Considering the goal of the World Health Organization (WHO) to reduce Noncommunicable Diseases (NCD) mortality by 2% annually(55 Organização Pan-Americana da Saúde (OPAS), Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS). Doenças crônicas não transmissíveis causam 16 milhões de mortes prematuras todos os anos [Internet]. Brasilia: PAHO; 2015 [cited 2018 May 31]. Available from: https://www.paho.org/bra/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4766:doencas-cronicas-nao-transmissiveis-causam-16-milhoes-de-mortes-prematuras-todos-os-anos&Itemid=839
https://www.paho.org/bra/index.php?optio...
) and the existence of scientific evidence that preventive actions are effective in the context of primary health, there is a need for global policy action to reduce cardiovascular risk, implementing measures at the community level, with cost-effective interventions. This includes teaching activities and updating of the clientele, implemented by health professionals, that directly influence adherence to healthy eating and practice of regular physical activity(22 Oliveira GMM, Mendes M, Malachias MVB, Morais J, Moreira Filho O, Coelho AS, et al. [Guidelines for the management of arterial hypertension in primary health care in Portuguese-speaking countries]. Rev Port Cardiol [Internet]. 2017[cited 2018 Feb 14];36(11):789-98.Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.repc.2017.10.006 Portuguese.
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.repc.2017.10.0...
).

The complex setting in which the individual with hypertension and excess weight is inserted presents challenges for the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS - Sistema Único de Saúde) and for health professionals, above all, for the nurse, who is closer to the daily life of his patients. Thus, interventions performed by nurses to reverse excess weight in the adult with hypertension need to consider the different conceptions about diet, physical activity, body and health when craving the change in lifestyle for this clientele.

It is said that changes follow a sequence in which the individual moves on to the next stage if the characteristics of that stage are already incorporated. The sequence includes: pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action and maintenance(66 Prochaska JO, Velicer WF. The transtheoretical model of health behavior change. Am J Health Promot [Internet]. 1997 [cited 2018 Feb 12];12(1):38-48. Available from: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10170434
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1017...
). Therefore, the nurse, when conducting health education with the adult hypertensive population, has the challenge of not only informing about health, but also sensitizing the clientele to the need for change, aiming to provide progress in the stage of behavior change. One of the means of making this awareness possible is to use educational technologies.

The effectiveness of educational health interventions is influenced by several variables, among them the availability of materials that can be used as a didactic resource. When considering that the health orientation about the excess weight in people with hypertension can be realized with the use of educational technologies constructed from scientific evidence, it is observed the pertinence of constructing educational materials of good quality and with contents adequate to make feasible the understanding of information by the target audience(77 Ryan L, Logsdon MC, McGill S, Stikes R, Senior B, Helinger B, et al. Evaluation of printed health education materials for use by low-education families. J Nurs Scholarsh [Internet]. 2014 [cited 2018 Feb 11];46(4):218-28. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1111/jnu.12076
https://doi.org/10.1111/jnu.12076...
). Such materials are useful resources and can be used to contribute to the process of health education.

It is stated that booklet, as health technology, is shown to be a tool for health promotion and facilitator of the educational process in health, contributing to actions that recognize the true need of the applied population, be it patient, family, or health professionals(88 Paula FMS, Beserra NCN, Lopes RCS, Guerra DR. Elaboration of didactic material for processing health products in primary health care units. Rev SOBECC [Internet]. 2017[cited 2018 Mar 01];22(3):165-70. Available from: http://docs.bvsalud.org/biblioref/2017/09/859112/sobecc-v22n3_in_165-170.pdf
http://docs.bvsalud.org/biblioref/2017/0...
). Thus, it was questioned: Is the content and appearance of an educational booklet constructed with information about excess weight for adults with hypertension valid?

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to validate the content and appearance of an educational booklet about excess weight for adults with hypertension.

METHOD

Ethical aspects

This study respected the ethical and legal precepts involving human beings, having approval in Ethics and Research Committee, confidentiality of identification and reading and application of Free and Informed Consent Term to individuals who accepted to participate in the study.

Design, place of study and period

This is a methodological study, since it refers to the validation of a tool as a research technique that can be used by other researchers(99 Polit DF, Beck CT, Hungler BP. Fundamentos de pesquisa em enfermagem. 7th ed. Porto Alegre: Artmed; 2011. 670 p.).

Initially, a general summary of what would be addressed in the educational booklet was drawn up, based on the literature on excess weight. The literature used consisted of the notebooks 35, 37 and 38 - Strategies for the care of the person with chronic disease, hypertension and obesity, respectively(1010 Ministério da Saúde (BR), Secretaria de Atenção à Saúde, Departamento de Atenção Básica. Estratégias para o cuidado da pessoa com doença crônica: hipertensão arterial sistêmica [Internet]. Brasília: Ministério da Saúde; 2013 [cited 2018 Feb 11]. 128 p.

http://bvsms.saude.gov.br/bvs/publicacoe...
), as well as the Brazilian Guidelines for Obesity (Diretrizes Brasileiras de Obesidade)(1313 Associação Brasileira para o Estudo da Obesidade e da Síndrome Metabólica (ABESO). Diretrizes Brasileiras de Obesidade 2016 [Internet]. 4 ed. São Paulo: ABESO; 2016 [cited 2018 Jan 20]. 186 p. Available from: http://www.abeso.org.br/uploads/downloads/92/57fccc403e5da.pdf
http://www.abeso.org.br/uploads/download...
) and the VII Brazilian Guidelines for Hypertension (VII Diretrizes Brasileiras de Hipertensão)(1414 Malachias MVB, Souza WKSB, Plavnik FL, Rodrigues CIS, Brandão AA, Neves MFT et al. 7ª Diretriz Brasileira de Hipertensão Arterial. Arq Bras Cardiol [Internet]. 2016 [cited 2018 Feb 11];107(3Supl.3):1-83. Available from: http://publicacoes.cardiol.br/2014/diretrizes/2016/05_HIPERTENSAO_ARTERIAL.pdf
http://publicacoes.cardiol.br/2014/diret...
). In addition, we considered the guiding points listed for the clinical practice of nurses in the care of young adults with and without excess weight(1515 Santiago JCS, Florêncio RS, Moreira TMM. Reflexões sobre o cuidado clínico de enfermagem ao adulto jovem escolar com excesso de peso. In: Moreira TMM (Org.). O cuidado clínico de enfermagem. Fortaleza (CE): EdUECE; 2015. p. 352-62.). Chart 1 presents these points.

Guiding points for the clinical practice of nurses in the care of young adults with and without excess weight(1515 Santiago JCS, Florêncio RS, Moreira TMM. Reflexões sobre o cuidado clínico de enfermagem ao adulto jovem escolar com excesso de peso. In: Moreira TMM (Org.). O cuidado clínico de enfermagem. Fortaleza (CE): EdUECE; 2015. p. 352-62.)

After reading the material that subsidized the creation of the booklet, a script of content was elaborated to be approached, in a logical sequence, with suggestions of illustrations that best represented the content on canvas. The theoretical model related to the individual’s willingness to adhere to change was used as an ally in the elaboration of the educational material, the Transtheorical Model, also known as the model of the stages of readiness for behavior change(66 Prochaska JO, Velicer WF. The transtheoretical model of health behavior change. Am J Health Promot [Internet]. 1997 [cited 2018 Feb 12];12(1):38-48. Available from: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10170434
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1017...
).

This model uses the construction of phases of change, that is, instead of modifying the behaviors considered inappropriate in a direct and abrupt way, the person does it in stages, in the context of a decisional balance, seeking self-efficacy in the process of change. The stages of change pass consecutively through the stages of preconception, contemplation, preparation, action and maintenance, including the temporal and motivational aspect for change. The changes must occur in the intention, attitude and behavior for the individual to pass from one phase to another. Thus, instead of seeking to know the reasons for the changes, the model seeks to indicate how they occur using the stages and processes of behavior change as indicators(66 Prochaska JO, Velicer WF. The transtheoretical model of health behavior change. Am J Health Promot [Internet]. 1997 [cited 2018 Feb 12];12(1):38-48. Available from: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10170434
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1017...
).

The ideas were organized in slides using Microsoft Power Point Software 2010 and sent to a technical professional to draw up the graphics and layout. To prepare the art, the professional received guidelines on the type of engraving, according to the theoretical content of the booklet, previously elaborated by the researcher, constructing attractive illustrations and easy to understand. A character was used that presented doubts and yearnings about the various subjects that permeate hypertension as a clinical condition, aiming at the facilitation and understanding of the teachings, even for people with reading difficulties.

With illustrations in hand, the pages were formatted, configured and diagrammed. The graphic designer then elaborated the art and it was submitted to the validation by specialists.

Population or sample; criteria of inclusion and exclusion

For the selection of the judges, the formula was adopted that considers the final proportion of the subjects with respect to the determined dichotomous variable and the maximum acceptable difference of this proportion(1616 Arango HG. Bioestatística teórica e computacional. 3rd ed. Rio de Janeiro: Guanabara Koogan; 2009. 460 p.): n = Zα2 . P . (1-P) / d2, where: Zα: Refers to the level of confidence (95% was agreed); P: Proportion of individuals who agree with the pertinence of the items; d: Difference of the proportion considered acceptable. Thus, for the establishment of sample size in the present study, the following statistical criteria were adopted: Minimum ratio of 85% agreement with respect to the pertinence of each evaluated component and 15% difference in concordance, including a range of 70 % to 100% in said agreement. At the end, the calculation was determined by n = (1.962 . 0.85 . 0.15) / 0.152, obtaining a sample of 22 judges; however, in order to avoid a tie, it was decided to work with 21 judges, distributed in three groups with odd numbers in each group: Group A, with nine researchers with experience in booklet themes; Group B, seven nurses with assistance experience to the target clientele of educational material and Group C, five professionals with experience in design or marketing. It was not possible to adopt seven judges in each group, due to the difficulty of reaching the n between the judges of design and marketing, and therefore, there was also a greater number of judges of content, besides the undeniable importance of this group.

Group A and B specialists were selected, considering a minimum score of five points, according to adapted criteria(1717 Joventino ES, Oriá MOB, Sawada NO, Ximenes LB. Apparent and content validation of maternal self-efficiency scale for prevention of childhood diarrhea. Rev Lat Am Enfermagem [Internet]. 2013 [cited 2018 Feb 11];21(1):371-9. Available from: http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0104-11692013000100012&lng=pt
http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=s...
), which included academic production, publications, participation in research groups, examinations, teaching experience, clinical experience and guidance on the subjects involved in the booklet. The experts of Group C were recruited by the snowball sampling, also considering the adapted criteria, replacing the theme of the booklet by thematic design and/or marketing.

Study protocol

To evaluate the educational material by the content judges and technicians was carried out adaptation of a tool used to validate an educational technology for the self-care of the woman in the rehabilitation of the mastectomy(1818 Oliveira MS, Fernandes AFC, Sawada NO. [Educational handbook for self care in women with mastectomies: a validation study]. Texto Contexto Enferm [Internet]. 2008[cited 2018 Jun 01];17(1):115-123. Available from: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0104-07072008000100013 Portuguese.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0104-07072008...
). This contained the participant’s profession, time and area of action, degree and scientific production. It consisted of closed questions regarding the information contained in the booklet regarding: objectives, relevance, structure and presentation. It also had a space for suggestions.

The second tool, designed for judges in the sector of Design and Marketing, was elaborated, based on the American tool for evaluation of the difficulty and convenience of educational materials, called Suitability Assessment of Materials (SAM), translated into Portuguese(1919 Sousa CS, Turrini RNT, Poveda VB. Translation and Adaptation of the Instrument "Suitability Assessment of Materials" (SAM) into portuguese. Rev UFPE Online[Internet]. 2015[cited 2018 Feb 10]; 9(5):7854-61. Available from: https://periodicos.ufpe.br/revistas/revistaenfermagem/article/view/10534/11436
https://periodicos.ufpe.br/revistas/revi...
).

Results analysis and statistics

The Content Validity Index (CVI) calculation was applied in the first two groups, considering the proportion of responses 3 or 4 divided by the total responses. A minimum value for CVI is recommended, which is 0.78(99 Polit DF, Beck CT, Hungler BP. Fundamentos de pesquisa em enfermagem. 7th ed. Porto Alegre: Artmed; 2011. 670 p.), adopted in this study. The binomial test was used to estimate the statistical reliability of the CVI, considering a p value<0.05.

In the SAM tool there is a list to check attributes related to content, writing style, appearance, motivation and cultural appropriateness of the educational material. For each item in the list there are options of scores: 2 - adequate, 1 - partially adequate and 0 - inadequate. The calculation of the total adequacy score is made from the sum of the scores obtained, divided by the maximum total score (13 items= 26 scores) and multiplied by 100, to transform it into a percentage and the interpretation is as follows: 70- 100% (Top material), 40-69% (Suitable material) or 0-39% (Inappropriate material)(1919 Sousa CS, Turrini RNT, Poveda VB. Translation and Adaptation of the Instrument "Suitability Assessment of Materials" (SAM) into portuguese. Rev UFPE Online[Internet]. 2015[cited 2018 Feb 10]; 9(5):7854-61. Available from: https://periodicos.ufpe.br/revistas/revistaenfermagem/article/view/10534/11436
https://periodicos.ufpe.br/revistas/revi...
).

RESULTS

The initial version of the educational booklet entitled "PRONTITUDE: feeding and physical activity in hypertensive adult" consisted of 32 pages, double-sided, A4 folded in half, booklet format, colored, Berlin Sans FB Demi font, sizes 12 and 14, with cover, presentation, summary and the items: 1- Does my excess weight influence my pressure?; 2 - What are the advantages of changing my lifestyle?; 3 - Do I eat too much?; 4 - Can I drink water during meals?; 5 - Can I eat whenever I feel like it? 6 - What are healthy foods and how should my meals be?; 7 - Do I need to do physical activity? 8 - Write your BMI here; 9 - Annotations; and 10 - References.

Concerning the sociodemographic characterization of the specialists who contributed to the validation of the material produced, there was a predominance of females in Groups A and B (88.9 and 100%, respectively), except in Group C (80% of males); nurses (Group A: 88.9% and Group B: 100%) and graphic designer (Group C: 40%); with a training time of more than 10 years (Group A: 88.9% and Group B: 100%) and working time in the area of more than six years (Group A: 66.7% and Group B: 100%) , doctors (Group A: 77.8%) and masters (Group B: 71.4% and Group C: 80%).

Table 1 presents the results of the evaluation tool used by the 16 specialists from Groups A (nine judges) and B (seven judges).

Table 1
Distribution of the Content Validity Indexes of educational booklet elements, according to the analyzes of the teaching and assistance specialists, Fortaleza, Ceará State, Brazil, 2018

The global Content Validity Index was 0.78. The items used for the Content Validity Index were divided into three categories: 1 - objectives; 2-structure and presentation; and 3 - relevance. Among the 18 items evaluated, only four did not reach the minimum CVI adopted in this study, which was 0.78(99 Polit DF, Beck CT, Hungler BP. Fundamentos de pesquisa em enfermagem. 7th ed. Porto Alegre: Artmed; 2011. 670 p.).

The items that received scores below the recommended level were: "messages are presented in a clear and objective way", "the material is appropriate to the socio-cultural level of the proposed target audience", "illustrations are expressive and sufficient" and "the material addresses the issues necessary to prevent complications".

The teaching and assistance specialists used the space for comments and suggested changes in the booklet. Thus, after analyzing the evaluations of each specialist, the changes were compiled and new contact was made with the graphic designer to incorporate the changes to the material.

The five professionals with experience in design or marketing evaluated the booklet through the translated SAM tool(1919 Sousa CS, Turrini RNT, Poveda VB. Translation and Adaptation of the Instrument "Suitability Assessment of Materials" (SAM) into portuguese. Rev UFPE Online[Internet]. 2015[cited 2018 Feb 10]; 9(5):7854-61. Available from: https://periodicos.ufpe.br/revistas/revistaenfermagem/article/view/10534/11436
https://periodicos.ufpe.br/revistas/revi...
) and their answers are in Table 2 below.

Table 2
Responses of design/marketing judges, Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil, 2018

According to Table 2, it was observed that no expert evaluated the items as inappropriate, but a specialist questioned whether the cover attracted attention and portrayed the purpose of the material. However, written considerations were made and these were incorporated into the list of adjustments requested by the teaching and care specialists. Considering the evaluation performed by the technical experts and the total score calculated for the SAM tool, the booklet was considered adequate (20%) or higher (80%), and was approved by all design/marketing judges.

With the evaluations carried out by the teaching, care and design/marketing specialists, the items were corrected in the booklet, contemplating the suggestions that included items with CVI below 0.78.

Suggestions from the experts of the three groups are set out in Chart 2.

Chart 2
List of changes to be incorporated in the educational booklet under construction, Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil, 2018

After all the corrections, the final version of the booklet was sent back to three teaching specialists chosen because they were those who had the lowest CVI in their evaluation of the booklet, as directed(2020 Pasquali L. Psicometria: teoria dos testes na psicologia e na educação. 5th ed. Petrópolis: Vozes; 2013. 481 p.), who reassessed the material and considered it suitable for use, all items with CVI being equal to or greater than 0.78. The booklet was not forwarded to the design/marketing specialists because, in the first evaluation, everyone approved the booklet, considering it as appropriate or superior.

The final version of the booklet remained with 32 pages, being now entitled "Food and physical activity in the adult with hypertension and overweight: willing to change?", Booklet format, with A4 folded in half, printed on couché paper and bound, with cover, presentation, catalytic record, summary and the items: I - Does my excess weight influence my pressure?; II - What are the advantages of changing my lifestyle?; III - Do I eat right? IV - Do I need to do physical activity? My space, Notes and References, plus the message on the back: "More important than the will to change is the courage to begin".

DISCUSSION

The elaborate educational booklet had as a proposal to make the reader identify in the character, including in the language. This is a relevant fact, because, often, one does not perceive the use of technical language, which only the professionals of the area understand. Booklets are built to strengthen guidance for family members and patients, and can contribute favorably to the communication process, increase adherence to treatment and decision-making power(88 Paula FMS, Beserra NCN, Lopes RCS, Guerra DR. Elaboration of didactic material for processing health products in primary health care units. Rev SOBECC [Internet]. 2017[cited 2018 Mar 01];22(3):165-70. Available from: http://docs.bvsalud.org/biblioref/2017/09/859112/sobecc-v22n3_in_165-170.pdf
http://docs.bvsalud.org/biblioref/2017/0...
).

The constructed educational material was developed from the identification of the absence of specific material on the excess weight in the adult with hypertension and from the need identified by the researchers of a material that subsidized the orientation and education in health to that specific public. The material produced allowed to give meaning to the dilemmas, doubts and questions of the clientele, favoring the reader to identify himself in the character, contemplating possible solutions.

Validity, in general, refers to the degree to which a tool actually measures the variable it intends to measure. Among the validity types, we highlight the content, which indicates to what extent the tool has an appropriate sample of items to measure the specific construct and adequately cover its domain(99 Polit DF, Beck CT, Hungler BP. Fundamentos de pesquisa em enfermagem. 7th ed. Porto Alegre: Artmed; 2011. 670 p.).

Well-designed educational material should support the promotion of critical thinking, clarifying doubts and discourses, rather than reproducing negative representations or suppressing common questions and questions about lifestyle and treatment when one is hypertensive and has excess weight(2121 Góes FSN, Fonseca LMM, Camargo RAA, Oliveira JF, Felipe HF. Educational technology "Anatomy and Vital Signs": Evaluation study of content, appearance and usability. J Med Inform [Internet]. 2015 [cited 2018 Jan 20];84(11):982-987. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijmedinf.2015.06.005
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijmedinf.2015....
).

Regarding the adequacy of the booklet and its validation of appearance, other studies presented adequate or superior category, as occurred in the validation of appearance of a booklet printed for a patient with chronic kidney disease under hemodialysis(2222 Medeiros JRR, Lima MA, Araújo LL, Galiza FT, Felipe GF, Caetano JA. Validation of educational technology for care in hemodialysis. Rev enferm UFPE Online [Internet]. 2016[cited 2018 Feb 11];10(11):3927-34. Available from: https://doi.org/10.5205/1981-8963-v10i11a11474p3927-3934-2016
https://doi.org/10.5205/1981-8963-v10i11...
), in which all the participants considered the appearance of the appropriate material, stating that the characteristics and quality of the illustrations contributed to the visualization and perception of the messages contained in the booklet.

It is understood that images that are easy to understand and that portray the reality experienced by the reader, besides holding their attention, insert it in the situation explained, being able to remove it from the comfort zone, beginning the readiness to change behavior, once that the change does not occur from moment to moment, but needs the individual to be willing to change.

However, this process of change does not occur only in the patient-educational interaction. On the contrary, the technology produced aims to be added to the guidance offered by the nurse in the health education process, strengthening and propagating the learning started in an office, so that the individual with hypertension and excess weight can see himself in the character exposed in the material and be willing to begin to reproduce the appropriate conduct that the character claims to follow, reflecting directly on their lifestyle and health condition.

The initial impact is individual, but it is suggested that the success of this impact will lead to the dissemination of good practices among family, friends and acquaintances, reflecting, in the long term, the morbidity and mortality statistics of chronic diseases, with a view to changing the clinical setting current epidemiological.

Study limitations

The limited number of specialists in the Design and/or Marketing area was considered as a limitation of the study, since the difficulty of returning the contact and returning the evaluation tool.

Contributions to the sectors of Nursing, Health and Public Policy

The creation and validation of an educational booklet on overweight in adults with hypertension has the contribution of offering complementary technology to the practice of health education for a growing population, given the increase in Noncommunicable Diseases worldwide. This technology aims at the prevention of the disease or associated complications. In addition, the description of the path taken to develop this material may support other studies.

CONCLUSION

The educational booklet developed for adults with hypertension and overweight was validated in content and appearance by teachers, caregivers and design and/or marketing professionals. The Content Validity Index as well as the material adequacy assessment index reached values considered adequate, making the produced material valid and able to be validated clinically.

It is suggested to carry out the clinical validation of the educational booklet with the target clientele.
