Objective: To describe the process of construction and validation of an educational booklet for the care of snakebite victims. Methods: Methodological research on the process of building and validating an educational booklet. The construction was developed based on Echer's theoretical framework with validation performed by thirteen judges, from January to April 2019. The items evaluated were the following: structure and appearance; objectives and relevance using the Likert scale. For the validation analysis, the Content Validity Index (CVI) was used, with a cut-off point higher than 0.78. Results: The booklet contained the following items: Presentation, Snakebite Accidents: What they are, Incidence in Brazil, Santa Casa de Sobral, Types Genus, Signs and Symptoms, Prevention, Immediate Conduct, Severity and Treatment, In-Hospital Care and, finally, References. None of the items evaluated presented a value below the minimum agreement adopted. The global mean of the CVI was 0.94, confirming the validation of the booklet with the judges. The evaluators also made suggestions, which were accepted. Conclusions: The construction of the material clarified the best care and prevention strategies and its objectives, appearance, structure, and relevance were considered to be in agreement from the validation.
Objetivo: Identificar o perfil sociodemográfico e clínico de vítimas de mordedura de serpentes na região Norte do Ceará. Métodos: Pesquisa retrospectiva e documental realizada com noventa prontuários de pessoas vítimas de acidentes ofídicos nos anos de 2017 e 2018 atendidas na Santa Casa de Misericórdia em Sobral-Ceará. Resultados: A maioria dos participantes era do sexo masculino 81,1% (73), na faixa etária de 20 a 59 anos 77,8% (70). O gênero Bothrops acometeu o maior número de pacientes 47,8% (43), com 61,1% (55) das mordeduras nos membros inferiores, sendo a dor no local a principal queixa 42,2% (38). Conclusões: A identificação do perfil das vítimas facilita o processo de trabalho da equipe de saúde no serviço de emergência, otimizando a assistência e proporcionando conhecimento acerca da demanda local.Objetivo: Identificar o perfil sociodemográfico e clínico de vítimas de mordedura de serpentes na região Norte do Ceará.
