Autocuidado no manejo de lesões mamilo-areolares relacionadas à amamentação: avaliação de conteúdo educativo

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the content of an educational material for self-care in the management of breastfeeding-related nipple-areolar lesions. Method: Methodological study carried out in two stages: construction and selection of educational content (text) and evaluation by judges specialized in nursing. The elaboration of the content was inserted in google docs, following its own script. The evaluation took place with two expert judges, in the period of May 2023. A qualitative analysis of the data was carried out, and the proposed suggestions and comments were fully accepted. Results: The two expert judges included a total of 17 comments or suggestions, six of which were in the item changes in the text; two in presentation and interaction with the content; four in the item on breast-areolar lesions and their prevention; two referring to the human milk bank network and three in the item on the use of figures and images in the text. The content was modified so that all comments and suggestions were addressed. The final document has seven pages, Times New Roman font, size 11, single spacing, containing 21 images and, finally, the references. Conclusion: The study evaluated the educational content for self-care in the management of breastfeeding-related nipple-areolar lesions, in order to disseminate relevant knowledge to breastfeeding women and health professionals, which will also serve as a mediating device for their educational practices in assistance and care and may contribute to improving the quality of life of women with breastfeeding-related nipple-areolar lesions.
