Objective: to develop and validate an educational video on pediatric palliative care for healthcare professionals.
Method: this methodological, descriptive, and quantitative study was conducted in four stages: 1. pre-production; 2. validation of the script and storyboard content; 3. video production and validation by a panel of judges; and 4. face and semantic validation of the video with the target audience. Descriptive statistics (frequencies, percentages, and means) were used to characterize participants and calculate the Content Validity Index, Content Validity Coefficient, and Semantic Agreement Index. The video was produced using VideoScribe® software.
Results: a total of 78 articles were selected in the first stage. Five professionals participated in the second and third stages, and 23 healthcare professionals participated in the final stage. Most suggested changes during script validation concerned the video’s duration. Validation by the panel of judges yielded a Content Validity Index of 0.90, and the Semantic Agreement Index based on the target audience analysis was 0.96, indicating near-perfect agreement. The final video length was 12 minutes and 55 seconds.
Conclusion: this study successfully validated an educational video on pediatric palliative care for healthcare professionals. The coefficients obtained demonstrate that the video is valid and reliable, with the potential to support the dissemination of scientific knowledge. It is easily accessible and features engaging illustrations, making it a useful resource for healthcare teams.
