- Abstract
Objective: To describe the meaning given by the adolescents to an educational intervention on leprosy mediated by games. Method: this is exploratory research with a qualitative approach, carried out with 30 adolescents from a public school in Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, Brazil. A nursing intervention was applied with games adapted to the theme. Data were collected by recordings of the participants' statements during the last stage of the educational intervention. The recordings were transcribed and analyzed according to the thematic content analysis technique. Results: the adolescents expressed joy and satisfaction for participating in the intervention. The elements brought up in their speeches emphasize learning about the general aspects of leprosy acquired from games and the possibility of acting as agents that transform reality when facing leprosy. Conclusion: This intervention showed the potential for the collective construction of knowledge about leprosy, demystifying the false concepts and myths attributed to the disease. We expect that from this study the intervention can be applied in different contexts, promoting health, and preventing leprosy.
