Health Promotion, Construction, Podcast, Educational TechnologyAbstract
The study aims at analyzing the structuring, validity processes and effects of podcasts for health promotion. An integrative literature review was conducted across six databases, following the stages of data reduction, display, comparison, conclusion drawing, and verification. The results included 14 studies from seven different countries. The target audience for the built podcasts comprises students and health care professionals. The construction process showed several methodologies with content-related validity assessment by experts being the applied validation process. Only two studies sought evidence of validity. It is concluded that the studies carried out on podcasts for health promotion focus primarily on the intervention itself, with limited consideration given to the methodological processes of construction and validation procedures.
