Elaboração de álbum seriado como dispositivo de informação acerca da Lei da Laqueadura

Abstract

Objective: to create an educational album about the Tubal Ligation Law for women in basic health units. Method: This is a methodological study to develop a graphic resource through stages. The first stage consisted of collecting information, where articles in English and Portuguese were selected, and about the Family Planning Law (Law No. 9263 of January 12, 1996), focusing on Law 14,443/2022, which has been changing regarding tubal ligation; the second stage was the development of a script with the information collected through the review. This was constructed in a clear, objective and understandable way and the third stage concludes the development of the serial album through Gagné's theoretical framework. The environment in which the plot of the album was constructed was taken into consideration, as well as the age of the characters, color and ethnicity so that no group is excluded. Result: The serial album has 15 pages and has the theme "The new tubal ligation law". It consists of a cover, technical sheet, script and reference sheets. The main characters, the nurse and the patient, lead the narrative throughout the album. Discussion: In the educational context of health, the visual resources in question, the serial album, favor the addition and fixation of knowledge, since it brings illustrations and descriptively explanatory scripts, facilitating learning and making the information more accessible to the target audience. Conclusion: The study demonstrated the importance of educational technology developed as a tool to expand access to information in a clear and objective way, especially in the context of women, in order to reduce rates of unwanted pregnancies, respecting their rights and choices.
