The objective was to describe the process of development of a virtual guide on ocular self-examination for people with HIV/aids. The methodological proposal followed the five steps recommended by Falkembach: analysis and planning, modeling, implementation, evaluation and distribution. The adequacy of the printed version to the virtual required the construction of a tutorial video, adding illustrative photos for viewing possible ocular changes and interactive tool demonstrating the examination result to the user. In the first material assessment, we diagnosed failures in the layout, thus commands were replaced, unified, rearranged in an easy viewing and adequacy of language. It is possible to promote the approximation of users with prevention methods in the ocular health area through a virtual guide, contributing to develop skills and disseminate self-examination.

Risk factors for Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy RESUMOObjetivo: Identificar os fatores de risco da Síndrome Hipertensiva Específica da Gestação (SHEG) em gestantes acompanhadas em núcleo de atenção médica integrada. Método: Estudo exploratório-descritivo realizado com 100 gestantes acompanhadas no ambulatório de pré-natal do Núcleo de Atenção Médica Integrada (NAMI) da Universidade de Fortaleza (UNIFOR), em Fortaleza-CE, independentemente de idade, estado civil e renda familiar.

ResumeObjective:to compare Interrater reliability concerning two eye assessment methods. Method:quasi-experimental study conducted with 324 college students including eye self-examination and eye assessment performed by the researchers in a public university. Kappa coefficient was used to verify agreement. Results:reliability coefficients between Interraters ranged from 0.85 to 0.95, with statistical significance at 0.05. The exams to check for near acuity and peripheral vision presented a reasonable kappa >0.2. The remaining coefficients were higher, ranging from very to totally reliable. Conclusion:comparatively, the results of both methods were similar. The virtual manual on eye self-examination can be used to screen for eye conditions.
