Educational Technology on Urinary Incontinence during Pregnancy: Development and Validation of an Online Course for the Brazilian Population

Abstract

Objective: To describe the development and validation process of an online course on urinary incontinence during pregnancy in Bra-zil. Materials and methods: This methodological study followed an online course’s literature search, development, and validation steps. A total of 22 specialists participated in the validation step, and the content validity index (CVI) was used. Fifty-one Physical Therapy students (target audience) also participated in the Suitability Assessment of Materials. Results: The synthesis reached in the integrative review provided the basis for the course’s theoretical content, which was regarded as suitable by the specialists regarding its con-tent, language, presentation, stimulation/motivation, and cultural adequacy (CVI = 0.99). The target audience considered the course organized, easily understandable, engaging, and motivational, with a positive response index ranging from 84.3 % to 100 %. Conclu-sions: The Brazilian version of the online course was considered sufficiently adequate in content and interface quality by both specialists and the target audience.
