Summary
This study validated an educational technology for health professionals supporting people living with HIV. The technology demonstrated high reliability and good internal consistency, proving its appropriateness for use.
Area of Science:
- Health Informatics
- Educational Technology
- Public Health
Background:
- Health professionals require effective tools to support individuals living with HIV.
- Educational technology can bridge knowledge gaps and improve care delivery.
- Validating such technologies is crucial for ensuring their efficacy and user acceptance.
Purpose of the Study:
- To validate an educational technology designed to aid health professionals in their work with people living with HIV.
- To assess the reliability and internal consistency of the educational technology.
Main Methods:
- A methodological study involving 11 expert judges and 51 individuals living with HIV.
- Data collected via a four-point Likert scale.
- Statistical analysis included descriptive and inferential statistics, Cronbach's alpha, and Kruskal-Wallis tests.
Main Results:
- Cronbach's alpha values of 0.974 (judges) and 0.694 (target audience) indicated reliable and acceptable internal consistency.
- Kruskal-Wallis tests showed no significant difference in the distribution of answers (p > 0.05), indicating agreement.
- Over 70% favorable responses were considered relevant, demonstrating user acceptance.
Conclusions:
- The educational technology exhibits high reliability and good internal consistency.
- The technology is deemed appropriate for supporting health professionals in their care for people living with HIV.

Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Data validation is an essential part of a comprehensive assessment. Validation is confirming or verifying and opening the door to gathering more assessment data as it clarifies vague or unclear data. The process of checking and verifying the collected information is called data validation. The primary purpose of data validation is to ensure data is as free from error, bias, and misinterpretation as possible.

Hybridoma technology is used for the large-scale production of monoclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies bind to only a single antigenic determinant or epitope. Such antibodies are used in research, diagnostics, and disease therapy. The hybridoma technology established in 1975 by Georges Köhler and Cesar Milstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1984 for revolutionizing research and therapy.
