Abstract

The ability to signify knowledge through accessible and practical methods makes the perspective of teaching gynecology and cytology, in a movement to combine scientific knowledge for transformation into the traditional teaching method. This work presents a proposal for the elaboration of an Educational Booklet in order to contextualize the teaching of the assessment of vulvovaginitis through the theme of assessment of vaginal content, as well as an operational protocol that aims to identify vulvovaginitis through the analysis of vaginal flow. When preparing these, topics such as the importance of performing vaginal flow and differential diagnosis of discharge were explained through various simple, cheap and accessible diagnostic tools that can be used at all levels of health care. To this end, bibliographical research, didactic transfer of scientific content and the constitution of the booklet and operational protocol were carried out. The present work allowed us to conclude that tasks that apply the booklet and the operational protocol can reflect on the difference in teaching topics related to the area of gynecology and obstetrics, translating scientific knowledge in a meaningful way for students and healthcare assistants in general, as well as the standardization of diagnoses and treatments.
