Abstract

Introduction: Nutritional booklets reinforce guidelines and assist in the self-care of cancer patients and need to be evaluated from different perspectives to ensure adequacy, clarity, and effectiveness. Objective: To evaluate a nutritional booklet with guidelines for patients with head and neck cancer. Method: Research with a methodological interface carried out between October 2023 and February 2024, operationalized in three stages: content validation by nine health experts, face validation by seven design experts, and semantic validation by six patients from the oncology outpatient clinic of the Hospital de Clínicas of the Federal University of Uberlândia, in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Structured instruments using Likert-type scales were used in the three stages. The analysis was based on descriptive statistics to calculate the Content Validity Index, Face Validity Index, and Semantic Validity Index. Results: The booklet was validated with an index of 0.97 for content, 0.84 for appearance, and 90% for semantics. Conclusion: The nutritional booklet is appropriate to be applied in educational actions with patients with head and neck cancer.
