Abstract

Objective: To develop and validate an animated infographic to health education of individuals with Cardiometabolic Diseases.

Methods: Methodological study carried out from November 2021 to January 2023, in three phases: pre-production, production and post-production. In the pre-production, the infographic's content was identified from a comprehensive scoping review and the storyboard script were developed. In production, the prototype of the infographic was constructed, the audio recording of the script content and its synchronization with the infographic screens were also made. In post-production, the finalization and storage of the infographic was carried out. Thus, its content and visual appeal were assessed by experts and target audience. The Content Validity Index and Appearance Validity Index were calculated to ensure the infographic's validity. A minimum agreement of 0.80 was considered.

Results: The infographic's content featured illustrative images, animations, explanatory texts, and audio. Over eight minutes and 57 seconds, it addressed key modifiable cardiovascular risk factors, potential complications, healthy lifestyle practices, adherence to pharmacological treatments, and the importance of multiprofessional health monitoring. The overall validity indices were 0.97 from the experts and 1 from the target audience.

Conclusion: The animated infographic proved to be a valid, comprehensible, and engaging educational resource which can be a useful educational technology in health education for individuals with Cardiometabolic Diseases.
