Development and Validation of an Educational Video to Prevent Falls in Hospitalized Children

Abstract

Objectives: to develop and validate an educational technology (educational video) oriented toward health professionals and addressing fall prevention in hospitalized children. Methods: methodological study carried out between December 2017 and January 2019 in five steps: identification of themes based on a literature review and the examination of the Brazilian Ministry of Health Fall Prevention Protocol; development of an educational video; validation of the material by referees specialized in children’s health, patient safety, or social communication; validation by the target audience, made up of health professionals at a pediatrics institute in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; and material adjustment. A Likert-like scale was used to validate the video, with items showing agreement indexes equal to or higher than 70% considered validated. Results: the video “Fall prevention in hospitalized children” was produced and validated with an average adequacy agreement index of 86% among the referees and 99.3% among the target audience. Only one item, related to adequate size of titles and topics, was not validated by the referees and was modified based on their suggestions. Conclusion: the video was validated by the referees and the target audience and may have practical application in education and training of health professionals who work in the children’s health field.
