    PurposeThis study describes the development and validation of an age-appropriate website for preschool children who require clean intermittent catheterization (CIC).MethodsAn age-appropriate website was developed at an academic medical center in Brazil and included child-friendly characters, details of the urinary system anatomy and physiology, hand-washing, and the CIC procedure. Content was validated by physicians, nurses, and health informatics professionals. Face validity was assessed by parents.FindingsContent and face validity indices were 0.94 and 0.92, respectively.ConclusionsThe free website (www.doutorbexiga.com.br) was successfully validated and considered suitable and user-friendly for the health education of children requiring CIC.Clinical RelevancePhysicians and nurses can use the website as a model for developing similar materials. The website can be a resource for health professionals and parents of children with spinal cord injury or other neurological disorders to encourage children to learn about CIC through animated educational materials.Copyright © 2020 Association of Rehabilitation Nurses.
