Resumo
Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide, excluding non-melanoma skin cancers. Treatment exposes women to numerous undesirable effects that must be addressed by the multidisciplinary team for therapeutic planning. This project aims to meet an institutional demand for improvements in the health education process for women with breast cancer and is aligned with the research line Organization and evaluation of health care systems. Objectives: To develop an educational technology in health, in the form of an almanac, for women with breast cancer; and to evaluate the educational technology with the target audience. Method: This is a qualitative study developed using the Convergent Care Research (PCA) method. The research stages followed the PCA proposal, which consists of the design, instrumentation, investigation, and analysis phases. The almanac was constructed based on the needs identified during interviews with 16 participants diagnosed with breast cancer, undergoing treatment at an oncology service in the city of Vitória/ES. After preparing the almanac, these participants completed the adapted form for validating educational health content, evaluating the objectives, structure/organization and relevance of the content. An agreement rate of 80% was considered. Results: The printed educational technology, entitled “Almanac for women with breast cancer”, consists of 47 pages containing comics and word search games, seven errors, crosswords, among others. The almanac addresses the following topics: development of breast cancer, mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, including possible side effects, and the social rights of people with cancer. The research participants evaluated the technology as relevant, enlightening and capable of encouraging new habits, in addition to adding knowledge. All items evaluated showed an agreement rate of over 80%. Products: “Almanac for women with breast cancer”, to be applied during the health education process with diagnosed women; scientific article entitled “Development of the educational technology Almanac for Women with Breast Cancer: Convergent Care Research”. Final Considerations: the almanac consists of an educational technology that addresses relevant topics about breast cancer in a playful, relaxed and informative way. The information included in the almanac allowed participants to access topics on which they had not yet been guided, in addition to allowing them to recall information applied at the beginning of treatment. Thus, this educational technology is relevant to scientific development and has the potential to generate impact at local, regional and national levels, given the considerable incidence of breast cancer and the almanac is a tool to be used in the health education process that, after reading, can aggregate knowledge on the subject.
