Objective: to validate interactive digital educational material in
the form of an electronic book about the prevention and reduction
of cardiovascular risk from the perspective of people living with the
Human Immunodeficiency Virus. Method: this is a methodological
study based on the theory of evaluation research, of the results
analysis type, which involves technological production. The data
were collected throughout Brazil by means of a virtual questionnaire
consisting of items for general, visual, language, usability, content
and appearance assessment of the educational material. A minimum
Agreement Index of 80% was adopted in order to certify validity.
Results: 309 individuals living with the Human Immunodeficiency
Virus participated in the study, the majority (84.3%) being male,
aged between 19 and 65 years old and with complete higher
education (29.3%). More than 90% of the participants assessed the
book as suitable for solving doubts and providing preventive care
for cardiovascular health. All the items evaluated reached an index
above 0.80. The general evaluation of all the items reached a mean of
0.92, with general assessment (0.97) and content assessment (0.94).
Conclusion: the educational material proved to be valid, adequate
and relevant to promote literacy in health, and could contribute to
health promotion and to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.
