Abstract
OBJECTIVES: to develop and validate the content of a multidisciplinary booklet for patients who have undergone kidney transplantation. METHODS: this methodological study was conducted in five stages: 1) literature review; 2) identification and organization of domains; 3) content validation; 4) formatting of the booklet; and 5) evaluation by the target audience. Content validity was analyzed using the Content Validity Index (CVI) and modified Kappa. The Content Validity Ratio (CVR) was also calculated to assess relevance. RESULTS: the booklet was validated after four rounds of evaluation by a panel of experts, achieving a global average of CVI = 0.98, modified Kappa = 0.97, and CVR = 0.77. The target audience evaluation reached a 99.7% agreement rate. CONCLUSIONS: the developed booklet demonstrated evidence of content validity, being clear, engaging, and informative, making it suitable for use by both professionals and the target audience.
