Abstract

Methods: methodological research, consisting of a literature review; construction of the illustrated guide; and, content validation with 19 expert judges from the health and other areas. Two different questionnaires were applied, the data in descriptive statistics passed for quantitative analysis in the Content Validity Index and the SAM Score. Results: The Content Validity Index found was 0.79. The SAM score was 26 points. The suggestions obtained from the expert judges indicated that more information on chronic conditions and self-care is needed, as well as the inclusion of information on dysphagia and gait, depending on the quality of life after a vascular event. Conclusion: after validation, the illustrated guide proved to be an adequate device to mediate health education actions with people affected by neurological changes due to stroke.
