SUMMARY:

The shift in the age profile of HIV cases and the rising incidence rates among adolescents suggest vulnerabilities in preventive measures. As a refined methodology in health education, Peer Education enables collective interventions with individual reach, fostering significant changes in this scenario. These aspects are incorporated into the Combined Prevention Mandala, representing a modern approach integrating multiple HIV prevention strategies into a unified framework.It is essential to highlight the role of nurses, responsible for implementing and operationalizing health promotion actions, establishing connections between school health and education as a strategy. This study aims to construct and validate an instrument focused on HIV prevention in adolescents through peer education in the context of nursing. It is a methodological study with a quantitative approach, organized into six stages: Concept analysis; Scoping review; Data cross-referencing; Instrument item construction; Instrument content validation, and Instrument appearance validation.The concept analysis followed Walker and Avant's (2019) eight-step framework. The scoping review was guided by The JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis for the selection of studies identifying items for the instrument. The nine axes of the Combined Prevention Mandala (CPM) underpinned the entire methodological process. For validation stages, judge selection and the Delphi Technique for content validation, Content Validation Coefficient (CVC) utilization, and Kappa Index calculation for judge agreement on the instrument and its items were performed.The study received approval from the Research Ethics Committee (CEP) of UFRN with Protocol No. 6.566.151 and Certificate of Ethical Presentation (CAAE) No. 75835223.2.0000.5537. The constructed instrument had nine main titles corresponding to the CPM axes, with 40 items derived from the scoping review. Validation involved 16 expert judges and the target audience, assessing "Representation," "Importance," and "Clarity," showing excellent agreement levels. Specific evaluation resulted in a Kappa index of 1,00 and CVC of 1,00. Overall evaluation of content yielded a Kappa index of 1,00 CVC of 1,00. Appearance evaluation about culture adequation also achieved Kappa 0.87, CVC of 0,89 indicating excellent concordance among evaluators. In conclusion, the constructed instrument meets HIV prevention needs in adolescents, proving innovative and useful for nurses. This thesis demonstrates the feasibility of building an instrument for HIV prevention in adolescents through peer education, with evidence of content and appearance validity for the nursing context.
