The goal of the work was the creation of written educational material adapted to the needs of the elderly in accordance with the recommendations for designing written educational materials. These findings should help nurses in their role as educators to transfer knowledge more effectively, and facilitate the acquisition of information and materials for older people and thus lead to positive changes in health behavior. The guide for recovery after Covid-19 "Recovery of health and strength after Covid-19" published in 2022 by the Croatian Institute of Public Health was used to create the written educational material. Taking into account the desired volume of material, the ratio of images and text, and the convenience of printing on paper, the format of the newsletter was chosen, and the online graphic editor Canva was used for its creation. The didactic material is made in A4 format and contains two sides, front and back, which overlap to create a newsletter. The newsletter contains key topics taken from the guide providing information on post-Covid recovery. The most common symptoms are presented, such as fatigue, difficulty breathing, cough and cognitive difficulties. Potentially interested persons can access the digital version of the guide "Recovery of health and strength after Covid-19" via a QR code. In health education, the use of teaching aids is inevitable. Considering that nurses often create and prepare educational materials themselves, it is important that they are guided by theoretical design guidelines. The recommendations and examples presented in this paper will help nurses to create didactic materials suitable for the needs of the elderly.
