Tecnologia como ferramenta de enfrentamento da violência contra mulheres: construção e validação de aplicativo

Abstract

The objective was to build and validate an application to deal with violence against women. It is a methodological study of development and validation of a prototype, with a quantitative approach, developed in three stages: 1) Requirements gathering, 2) Prototype construction and 3) Validation of the content, language and appearance of the application. Twenty-two professional specialists from the assistance network for women victims of violence and/or researchers on this topic participated, who were invited by email and answered a questionnaire via Google Forms. For statistical analysis, the Content Validity Index (I-IVC) and the binomial test were used. It is evident that the application was developed and considered valid by the expert judges with an I-VCI and agreement greater than 98%, therefore with high level of adequacy of the evaluated items. Therefore, it is concluded that this technological instrument is relevant to be used in the fight against violence against women.
