Objective:
to produce and validate a booklet, based on Jean Watson's Theory, on home care for premature newborns, based on caregivers' experiences.
Method:
a methodological study, developed in the following stages: diagnosis of knowledge needs about home care; survey of scientific content; educational material production; and validity by judges/experts.
Results:
the literature review resulted in 19 articles. The main themes (breastfeeding, bath care, bond building, infection prevention and support network) were listed for producing the booklet "Booklet for Premature Newborns: Demystifying Home Care". The booklet content and appearance received the overall Content Validity Index of 0.85, considered suitable within the scientific rigor of validity.
Final Considerations:
the booklet produced and validated is an educational material whose main role is to provide knowledge and awaken caregivers' autonomy in providing home care to newborns.
