Abstract

Introduction: when designing a health promotion program through text messages / Whatsapp, there is no clear methodology that will ensure obtaining the best results regarding efficiency in communication and modification of healthcare behaviours.
Objective: to design a clear methodology which will allow the midwife to create health promotion programs through sending text messages / Whatsapp for pregnant and puerperal women, in order to potentially obtain the best results in terms of efficacy and adherence.  
Method: a bibliographic search of articles containing or analyzing work methodologies followed in health promotion programs through the use of text messages as communication element, and that apply to pregnant women, that have been published between 2000 and 2016.
Results: one hundred and eighty (180) articles and associated studies were found, and nine of them were selected. Subsequently, the study was extended to articles meeting Inclusion Criterion 2 (21 articles), in order to measure the behavioural change generated.
Conclusions: the result was a procedure with 11 steps to be followed, including from the analysis of communication objectives to the quantification for the analysis of outcomes.
