Development and assessment of an educational video to promote self-efficacy in newborn care.
Rhaiany Kelly Lopes de Oliveira, Maria Jocelane Nascimento da Silva, Hévila Ferreira Gomes Medeiros Braga and 6 others
PMID 41417334WHAT IT FOUND
Caregivers rated a newborn-care video clear and relevant and said it made them feel more confident.
This validates the video as a nurse education tool, not as proof that newborn care improves.
Key findings
01The script received total content validity scores of 0.90 from health experts and 0.81 from technical experts.
02The recorded video received a total content validity score of 1.0 from health experts.
03Twenty-five caregivers considered the video relevant and clear, and 25 reported feeling more confident about newborn care.

What it does not show
The final video was accepted by only 25 caregivers from two towns in Ceará, so it may not fit families in other regions. Participants were recruited by convenience, so they may not represent all caregivers. The study did not compare the video with usual education or measure newborn outcomes, so caregiver confidence after one viewing is not proof the video works. Only 3 technical experts reviewed the script, and only 7 content experts reviewed the final video. Caregivers of premature newborns were excluded.
The easy way to misread this
Do not read the high confidence ratings as evidence that the video improves newborn care. The study validated the video and asked caregivers how they felt after one viewing.
