Abstract

Visually impaired people are often associated with various complex problems because they are considered unproductive even for daily health, so that daily health literacy is needed. The most needed aspects for visually impaired people are balanced nutrition, covid-19, and information on the nearest health service. The location of the difference in health literacy between people who see and people with visual impairment is accessibility. The purpose of this study is to describe the Participation Action Research (PAR) Protocol on Daily Health Literacy Using Voice Recognition Applications for visually impaired people in Indonesia. We will conduct a study using the Mixed Exploratory method, which is a method that in the early stages of research uses qualitative methods and the next stage uses quantitative methods. The mixing of the data of the two methods is connecting between the results of the first and subsequent studies. This exploratory type is a sequential model (sequence). The research stages are divided into three starting from pre-intervention by conducting systematic reviews, preliminary studies, and qualitative studies, as well as application design, the second stage is intervention through two groups, namely, the intervention group carried out health literacy using voice recognition applications and the control group carried out intervention using e-mail. -book reader, the intervention is continued with assistance for the blind by partners for 30 days, the third stage is post-intervention by monitoring and evaluating behavior, and evaluating applications for evolution and publication of applications to the play store for use by visually impaired people in Indonesia.
