Abstract
Objective: To develop a website providing information on the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of syphilis in pregnant women, while evaluating its usability among health care workers. Method: This knowledge translation project included a methodological phase to create a technological product. It was a cross-sectional study applying the System Usability Scale to 21 professionals working with pregnant women in primary care in a city in southern Brazil. The Spearman correlation test was used for analysis. Results: The usability score was 90 (interquartile range: 85–97.5), classified as “best imaginable.” No statistically significant association was found between the score and participants’ characteristics. The professionals reported ease of use, met expectations, and motivation. They also indicated they would recommend the website to colleagues and academics for both continuous education and clinical practice. Key facilitators included internet accessibility and minimal time required for usage. Suggestions for website application included individual consultations, reproductive planning, and the perinatal period. Conclusion: The evidence-based website was validated and adapted to the local context, proving suitable for use in primary health care. Its implementation has the potential to enhance the quality of health care services for pregnant women.
