  • Descrição: Introduction: Chronic kidney disease is a worldwide public health problem. If consideration should be given to the effect that this disease has on individuals, families, society and the country\'s economy, the urgency of patient education as a form of health promotion will be clearly understood. Patient education is key to the management of such conditions and a proactive approach to dealing with renal disease should be engaged. Chronic kidney disease describes the gradual loss of kidney function which, once established, tends to progress to end-stage renal failure and imminent death. Nursing care for patients with this condition include a number of areas of which patient education is paramount. In Guyana, the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation alone has established that there are over five hundred people with chronic renal disease. Approximately 70% of patients with chronic kidney disease at this Hospital are readmitted frequently and their disease condition degenerates rapidly. Objective: To construct a prototype of educational technology for adult patients with chronic kidney disease. Methods: This was a study that used a methodological approach in three phases: Analysis & Diagnosis; Instructional Planning with Content systematization; and Didactic Drawing with Choice of illustration and Writing content. After gaining approval from the ethical committee of the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, hospitalized patients with chronic kidney disease and their families who were willing to be participants of this research during the period October to November 2019, were invited with their consent, to complete a questionnaire for the researchers to gather biographic and socioeconomic data. The number of participants was thirty, twelve were patients and eighteen were relatives. The majority of patients and relatives were female (58.3% and 61.1%), most of them were married. This was complemented with interviews where the participants shared their health education needs relating to their disease condition. Interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. From the themes that arise out of the interviews, along with the review of relative scientific literature, a prototype of an educational material for patients with chronic kidney disease was constructed as well as engaging design and layout artists and advertising professionals. Results: A prototype of a booklet for patients with chronic kidney disease and their caregivers was developed. Its selected theme came from interviews with the patients and their relatives. At the end, the prototype contains eight pages on the appropriate diet for patients with chronic kidney diseases. The contents were subdivided into steps so that educational guidelines were organized and could be discussed with patients and relatives. Conclusion: It is supposed that this prototype of educational technology will serve as a stimulus to the improved health of patients with chronic kidney disease through knowledge construction followed by self-care. It is anticipated to be a teaching technology for nurses and students who work on the clinical area to encourage the target population to take responsibility for their health maintenance when not hospitalized. Future work will examine the effectiveness of the implementation of this educational booklet.
