Tecnologias Educacionais para Promoção da Saúde da Mulher: revisão integrativa da literatura

Abstract

Objective: To identify in the scientific literature the educational technologies developed to promote women's health. Method: This research consists of an integrative literature review, conducted according to the criteria recommended by PRISMA. The search and selection of articles took place in April 2024 through the CAPES Periodical Publications Portal. No time or language limitations were applied, and the databases included Scopus, CINAHL, PubMed, and LILACS. The PICo (Population, Interest, and Context) strategy was employed, leading to the following guiding question: “What educational technologies are available for promoting women's health?” Descriptors were extracted from sources such as DeCS, MeSH, Emtree, and CINAHL, along with non-controlled terms. The analysis of results was carried out descriptively, structured into five analytical categories. Results: The final sample consisted of 24 articles published in national and international academic journals, with a predominance of methodological studies that did not assess the effects of the technologies, only their usability. Identified educational technology modalities included printed materials, software, audiovisual tools, digital materials, and simulation technology. The most common theme among the articles was breastfeeding. Conclusion: The technologies developed for women's health education proved to be diverse and demonstrated established usability. Furthermore, the relevance of these approaches in the context of health promotion was highlighted.
