Syphilis is a public health problem worldwide, with high rates of incidence and prevalence. When this disease affects pregnant women, transmission to the fetus may occur and several negative outcomes may arise, such as: abortion, intrauterine fetal death, prematurity and others. Failures in prenatal care are evidenced for women with gestational syphilis and it is observed that when she is admitted to the maternity for delivery, in an abortion condition or due to intrauterine death, there is, in most cases, her counter-reference to the Health Teams of the family. There is a need for communication between SUS health services, sharing information necessary for the continuity of health care for these women. Thus, the objective is to build and validate a counter-referral form for women with gestational syphilis treated at a public maternity hospital. This is a methodological, quantitative and descriptive study. A field research will be carried out in a regional maternity of habitual risk, in the metropolitan region of the State of Rio Grande do Norte, to obtain how the current assistance occurs to women with syphilis. Soon thereafter, an integrative review will be carried out to support the construction of the counter-reference form and this instrument will go through the validation process with the application of the Delphi technique, adopting the Content Validity Index and the form item with equal value will be considered validated. or greater than 78% assigned by the selected judges. The study will respect all ethical and legal aspects according to Resolution No. 466 of 2012, which regulates research involving human beings. The study data will be analyzed and presented in the results according to the nature of each stage (field research, integrative review and form validation). Finally, it is expected to validate the counter-referral form.
