Abstract

Psychomotor skill competence is an important factor in nursing practices. YouTube videos connect theory and practice, thereby consolidating learning. This article describes the findings of a study to evaluate the quality of videos on urinary catheter insertion and removal on the video sharing site YouTube(www.youtube.com). Videos were evaluated with the “Urinary Catheterization Checklist,” “Remove Urinary Catheter Check List” and “Evaluation of Video Media Guidelines.” This study initially evaluated 653 YouTube videos, and following the implementation of exclusion criteria, analyses were made of a total of 242 videos, as 146 videos about urinary catheter insertion and 96 videos about urinary catheter removal. Although there are high quality videos on YouTube about urinary catheter insertion and removal, the number of low quality videos is high. Therefore, universities and hospitals should be encouraged to produce high-quality videos to provide accurate and unbiased information. In addition, students should be given a critical perspective so that they can evaluate the quality of the videos they watch.
