Abstract

Objective: To describe the development of an educational booklet on anxiety and depression in the puerperium.

Method: This is a technological development study that resulted in a booklet. The booklet was developed in three stages: preparation of an integrative review study, preparation of the booklet, and evaluation with the target audience. Pregnant women in the third trimester of pregnancy undergoing prenatal care in Primary Health Care in a city in Rio Grande do Sul were included in the evaluation.

Results: The booklet was prepared in printed and digital formats and its content addresses topics such as anxiety and depression in the postpartum period, using clear language and attractive illustrations. The booklet was evaluated by 43 women and considered adequate in terms of its objective, content, language, illustrations and ease of comprehension, with a Content Validity Index of 1.0 for all items.

Conclusion: The booklet evaluated with the target audience demonstrated acceptability and potential for use. And, as it is a practical and accessible educational technology, it contributes to maternal and child health care practices.
