Abstract
Objective
To produce an instructional video for nurses about hot tub bath for preterm newborns and to validate its content.
Method
Methodological study of technological development with emphasis on content validation, conducted in three stages: exploratory literature review, production of an instructional video educational technology and expert validation. The data were systematized and organized in spreadsheets and the analyses were carried out in the statistical package R. For content validation, the Kappa Index was calculated to measure response agreement and the Content Validity Index was employed to estimate item representativeness.
Results
Publications about the technique (n=3) identified in the literature review were used for video production. The video simulates care in a neonatal unit and lasts 13 minutes. In the validation process, the video was considered, in general, to have an adequate content representation and had an almost perfect response agreement index. Two items were assessed as “adequate after revision” and modified.
Conclusion and implication for the practice
The produced material was considered by the experts as suitable for use in training nurses on the technique and sharing information, contributing to a humanized and safe nursing care in neonatal units.
