Abstract
Aim: validate Braille booklet and sound media on prevention and transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Method: this is a descriptive and methodological study using a quantitative approach. The research will be developed in Mossoró/RN and Natal/RN, through three stages: identification of blind people's knowledge on STI/AIDS prevention and transmission; development of a Braille booklet and sound media on STI/AIDS; and validation of assistive technologies (AT), adopting population census or non-probabilistic sampling for convenience, depending on the specificities of each stage of the study. The collected data will be processed and analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistics. Expected results: the research will allow the validation of a booklet in Braille and sound media for blind people on STI/AIDS. These ATs may serve as strategies for health education by nurses and may promote greater access to STI/AIDS information for blind people.References
