Methodology:

A script was created and a video was produced, which was validated by 6 specialists, selected according to their resume, and by 222 health professionals who work with pregnant women. Evaluators were contacted by social networks, using a “snowball " sampling. The content validity index was calculated, and was considered acceptable when greater than 0.60.

A 2 minutes and 20 seconds video presented the rights of pregnant women and mothers in order to motivate their compliance to treatments. For video validation, 6 specialists participated, 4 hold a master's degree and 2 hold a doctorate, who rated the content validity index with the highest score. The target population, mostly doctors and nurses, assigned the content validity index between 0.92 and 0.99, with a concordance of 97.87. Both groups made positive comments and approved the video.
