Digital technology for women’s health education in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil



Abstract

Women’s health education empowers professionals to address issues focused on diagnosis and treatment, sexual and reproductive health, gender-based violence, and mental health, aiming to improve the quality of care provided and strengthen the relationship between professionals and their patients, promoting a woman-centered health approach. The objective was to develop, implement, and evaluate a digital training plan for public health workers in Rio Grande do Sul, Southern Brazil, focused on women’s health. A cross-sectional qualitative and quantitative study was conducted on the live sessions organized between October 2022 and December 2023, held in a synchronous virtual format. Additionally, a qualitative and descriptive analysis of the chat questions and a profile analysis of the participants were undertaken. A total of 436 people participated live in the 12 thematic sessions. Over 80% of the participants were health professionals, and the sessions have accumulated 3,523 views to date. Regarding the questions, 36.4% referred to access to health services. There is a need for new educational technologies that promote accessible and flexible learning, as access to information about women’s health must be continuous.
