Educational technology for people with chronic kidney disease

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a syndrome of progressive and irreversible loss of kidney function, the main causes of which are systemic arterial hypertension (SAH), diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic glomerulonephritis. Education and health promotion activities carried out in groups can help raise the level of knowledge, acceptance of their limits and awareness of positive attitudes. Educational work with groups is an important alternative for Educational Technology in Health, with the aim of promoting health and deepening discussions and knowledge, enabling people to improve their level of autonomy and, consequently, their quality of life. This is a descriptive methodological study to build and validate an educational technology and tool for recording information related to the treatment of CKD.
