Introduction: multimedia technology is increasingly used in healthcare education. During the pandemic, videos and web-based simulations supported clinical training and were later implemented in hospital and university settings. The literature highlights that video, when integrated into traditional training, enhance procedural learning and allow for the standardization of competencies. However, their use in critical care settings remains underexplored. This study investigates video training as an educational tool in this context.
Materials and Methods: a scoping review was conducted using PRISMA guidelines within PubMed, Cinahl, and Scopus (2019-2024), including studies on the use of video training for critical care healthcare professionals while excluding simulation-based studies. Three researchers independently assessed study eligibility, analyzing setting, training objectives, content, and outcomes.
Results: a total of 20 studies were selected, with 16 focused on nurses. The primary settings were intensive care units (n=12) and neonatal intensive care units (n=6). Videos were mostly integrated into structured training programs (n=11), recorded lectures (n=4), or online platforms (n=3). Training was predominantly delivered online (n=13). Videos proved effective in improving knowledge and clinical skills, particularly when combined with other educational methods.
Conclusions: video training in critical care is a valuable educational tool, especially if integrated with classical training methods. Further research is needed to assess its impact on clinical practice.
