Construção de protótipo de aplicativo móvel para auxiliar no autocuidado do paciente infantojuvenil portador de doença renal crônica. Orientador: Denise Pereira do Rêgo. 2023. 99f. Dissertação (Mestrado Profissional em Gestão de Processos Institucionais) - Centro de Ciências Humanas, Letras e Artes, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2023.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/54480Advances in the development of technology, its use and its applicability in various scenarios of the health system, enable greater participation of the user and his support network in the treatment, preventing possible complications of the disease. The use of technology to monitor, promote care and encourage greater adherence to treatment is already a reality, facilitating professional/patient integration. Considering that an ineffective communication between the health team and the user (the patient and his family) can impact the treatment, the aim was to develop a prototype of a mobile application as a tool to facilitate communication and help in the self-care of children and adolescents undergoing treatment. of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). This is a study in the field of technological innovation that had as a reference the Design Science Research (DSR) methodology, operationalized through three cycles: I- Cycle of Relevance; II- Rigor Cycle, III- Design Cycle. From then on, the initial tests of the prototype were carried out, as well as its evaluation. In order to validate the content and appearance, the model was submitted to judges experienced in assisting children and adolescents with CKD. The content and appearance of the technology were developed based on the scoping review and validated using the Delphi technique. The proposed technology, called “Caring for the Kidneys”, consists of 21 screens and, considering the experts' assessment, its Content Validity Index (CVI) was equal to or greater than the cutoff point (70.0), ranging up to the maximum ratings. The appearance of the technology also obtained the maximum agreement index. It is believed, therefore, that the technological resource built and validated in this study can be configured as a valuable instrument in health promotion, providing the transfer of information, improvement in communication, stimulation of autonomy and social inclusion of young people with CKD.Acesso AbertoEducação em saúdeAplicativos móveisDoença renal crônica na infânciaAutocuidadoTecnologia biomédicamasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS
