Abstract

Objective: to create and validate a visual educational technology content for lactation physiology learning. Method: a methodological study that contemplated the stages of content creation and validation guided by the conceptual model of Knowledge Translation into action. The creation took place in partnership with the educational technology center of the project’s home institution.

Results: an educational technology covered animation and video techniques to locate, respectively, ele-ments of lactation physiology and the population involved. An Overall Content Validity Index of 0.84 was obtained. Conclusion: the visual educational technology for lactation physiology learning has been validated in content as a tool to introduce the theme and mediate health education actions that can have a positive impact on breastfeeding.
