PMID 37283420WHAT IT FOUND
Most nursing educational videos followed a three-stage process: pre-production, production, and post-production.
However, many studies did not use a formal methodological framework or validate the final video with the target audience, which can compromise the quality and safety of the educational material.
Key findings
01The most common methodological steps involved pre-production (script/storyboard), production (recording/editing), and post-production (evaluation by target audience).
02Fourteen of the nineteen included studies did not use a methodological framework to ensure rigor in their conduct.
03Several studies failed to evaluate the educational video with its intended target audience, a weakness that can compromise the transparency and effectiveness of the production process.

What it does not show
The search was restricted to three databases (PubMed, CINAHL, LILACS) and three languages (English, Portuguese, Spanish). Only studies from 2017 to 2022 were included. Many of the included primary studies were methodological in nature with small sample sizes for validation (e.g., n=5 to n=79). The review itself is an integrative review, which synthesizes diverse study types, potentially limiting direct comparison.
Declared interests
The text does not explicitly state funding sources or conflicts of interest for the review itself, though it notes the studies were conducted in Brazil.
The easy way to misread this
Do not assume that all educational videos used in nursing practice have been rigorously tested. This review found that many studies lacked a formal methodological framework and did not validate the final product with the target audience, meaning the effectiveness and safety of the content may not be guaranteed.
