SUMMARY:

Introduction: Adolescence is a phase of transitions with new responsibilities, more autonomy, and emotional, financial and biological changes, such as alterations in the "biological clocks" that regulate the sleep-wake cycle (SWC). Despite the importance of non-pharmacological strategies to improve sleep, many young people neglect sleep hygiene. It is therefore essential to involve them in the development of materials and interventions aimed at promoting healthy sleep. Active public participation in research has brought science and practice closer together and facilitated engagement with evidence-based interventions. Objective: To co-construct a booklet for sleep healthy in adolescence with the involvement of the target audience in all phases of the research. Method: Participatory action research with 5 adolescents in the 2nd year of high school, their guardians (4 mothers, 1 aunt), 3 teachers and 3 sleep specialists. The study was carried out at the IFRN in Santa Cruz/RN. A sociodemographic questionnaire was administered to the adolescents and a sleep knowledge assessment form was administered to the adolescents and their families, as well as a semi-structured questionnaire to the teachers about some aspects in the classroom. Next, for the dialogue and co-construction groups, the Involvement Matrix (IM) was used as a systematized tool to facilitate the participants' engagement in decision-making and the distribution of roles in the research. In the dialog groups, discussions were held to identify the difficulties faced by adolescents in maintaining healthy sleep and, in a collaborative way, to design an intervention booklet that reflected the preferences of the target audience. Results: The adolescents were aged between 16 and 18, 4 female and 1 male, from the same class. The guardians were between 37 and 49 years old, most of whom had completed elementary school. Two specialists had a doctorate and one a master's degree, with an average of 6.33 ± 4.16 years of experience. There were 5 meetings: presentation of the ED and roles (1st), discussion of strategies (2nd to 4th), and co-construction and validation of the booklet (5th). Adolescents reported excessive use of screens, difficulty sleeping, irregular sleep routine, tiredness, and sleepiness during lessons. Teachers observed signs such as irritability and lack of concentration. Guardians expressed concern about the use of electronics but were unaware of sleep hygiene practices. In the co-construction, the teenagers came up with strategies such as reducing the use of cell phones before bedtime, having a routine for eating and organizing school and home tasks; the parents brought their perceptions about the routine at home, turning off the TV before bedtime and trying to be their own example. The experts guided the discussions in such a way as to ensure that the strategies presented could be compiled into accessible support material for teenagers. In the dialog groups to validate the booklet, the participants showed good satisfaction with the co-created material. Conclusions: This study highlighted the perceived effectiveness of the co-construction model and the participatory approach, which facilitated the development of a booklet for sleep disorders and healthy sleep with the specific needs of adolescents and their families, increasing its relevance and acceptability.
