The COVID-19 pandemic has induced significant stress, particularly among vulnerable populations, such as pregnant and postpartum women. Given the social isolation measures implemented at the onset of the pandemic, social media has emerged as a vital tool for disseminating health information and promoting well-being. This study aims to present a psychoeducational intervention proposal in the form of Instagram posts and assess its content validity in addressing pandemic-induced stress among pregnant and postpartum women in the year 2020. Content validity was evaluated by 64 female judges who assessed 29 posts using a 5-point Likert scale to validate language, relevance, pertinence, and presentation of the proposal. Results indicated content validity coefficients exceeding the established threshold (≥ 0.80) for all criteria, affirming the suitability of the proposal for mitigating pandemic-related stressors among the target population. Thus, the utilization of social media to enhance access to high-quality resources promoting mental health care democratization is confirmed.
