Abstract

Introduction: Eye problems arise at an early age and often go unnoticed. If left untreated, they can cause serious vision problems, such as amblyopia. Therefore, proper visual rehabilitation at an early age is recommended.

Objective: To design an educational intervention strategy aimed at preparing parents, teachers, and educational psychologists of schoolchildren from the Alamar Playa People's Council, treated at the Mario Escalona Polyclinic in the municipality of East Havana, which contributes to the specialized education of families and teachers in visual rehabilitation.

Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional, and systematization study was conducted. Using the systemic structural method, the model for the educational intervention strategy was defined, structured by stages and actions, for the preparation of schoolchildren in visual rehabilitation, based on data obtained during vision surveys carried out in five primary schools in the Alamar Playa People's Council between January 2020 and April 2022.

Results: The educational intervention strategy model was structured based on theoretical foundations and characteristics consistent with the process of preparing school-age children for visual rehabilitation. Four stages were designed: diagnosis, planning, educational intervention, and evaluation, each with its own objective and specific actions.

Conclusions: Through the design of the educational intervention strategy, a system of actions was organized aimed at the specialized education of families and teachers in the visual rehabilitation of schoolchildren.
