Abstract

Objective:develop and validate a video on bed bathing directed to nursing professionals and students.Method:the video was based on the literature and presents the definition of bed bath, indications for its performance, steps to perform it, and potential complications. Nursing professors and nurses validated it. They assessed the pertinence of content, clarity, and language of the video scenes. The Delphi Technique was used in this phase. After recording, three nursing professors, along with undergraduate nursing students from a public university, assessed the educational video. The professors first watched the video and suggested changes, and then the students watched the video after the changes were implemented.Results:six rounds were needed for experts to validate the video script using the Delphi Technique. After the video recording, undergraduate students considered the video of easy understanding.Conclusion:the video script was composed of four topics and was validated by experts after six rounds. The video was assessed by the professors and nursing undergraduate students, who considered the topics and the video as a whole as apprehensible. This study is expected to contribute to professional training and improvement of the knowledge and skills of nursing students.

Highlights

Bed bathing is one of the procedures most frequently performed in clinical practice, but because its execution presents various steps, students often face difficulties performing it[1]

Universities currently seek other tools to use in the teaching-learning process with students, since teaching based only on theoretical classes does not facilitate the retention of knowledge[2]

Summary

Introduction

Bed bathing is one of the procedures most frequently performed in clinical practice, but because its execution presents various steps, students often face difficulties performing it[1]. A video can be an effective tool to be used during classes because it has various advantages, such as the fact it is a practical method, with a good cost-benefit profile, and low investment when compared to the large number of people it reaches. It facilitates understanding of information as people are allowed to watch the scenes multiple times, as many times as necessary, and is well-accepted in the educational field[3,4]. Video can be used in various teaching settings, such as classrooms, simulation centers, distance learning, and can aid students in acquiring new skills and improve their learning process
