Abstract
Introduction: Mental health applications can optimize the work of professionals, overcoming technical and operational challenges when creating psychosocial rehabilitation projects. However, developing an application requires an initial planning phase, known as prototyping.
Objective: To construct and validate the webapp prototype “App psychosocial rehabilitation project” by mental health professionals.
Method: The prototyping of the application for a Psychosocial Rehabilitation Project was based on the graphic design method, being performed by the main researcher in the Marvel software. The requirements for prototyping were obtained through an integrative literature review and focus group interview. The prototype was evaluated by 15 mental health professionals in two rounds, using the Content Validity Index to evaluate appearance, objectives and relevance, considering valid items that obtained values greater than or equal to 0.8.
Results: The first version obtained an overall Content Validity Index of 0.98. For Objectives, Appearance, Structure and Organization and Relevance, respectively: 1.00, 0.96 and 1.00. In the second version, the overall Content Validity Index was 0.96. For Objectives, Appearance, Structure and Organization and Relevance, respectively: 0.96, 0.96 and 0.91.
Conclusion: This research enabled the webapp prototype “App psychosocial rehabilitation project”, which appears to be consistent with the objective, structure and organization, as necessary items for the construction of a Psychosocial Rehabilitation Project.
