Empowering patients living with chronic conditions using video as an educational tool: a scoping review
ABSTRACT
Background:
Video is used daily for various purposes, such as leisure, culture and even learning. Currently, video is a tool that is available to a large part of the population and is simple to use. This audio-visual format has many advantages such as its low cost, speed of dissemination and possible interaction between users. For these reasons, it is a tool with high dissemination and educational potential, which could be used in the field of health, for learning about and management of chronic diseases by adult patients.
Objective:
The following review determines whether the use of health educational videos by adult patients with chronic diseases is effective or not for their self-management according to the literature.
Methods:
An electronic literature search on the PubMed, CINAHL, MEDLINE (via the EBSCOhost platform) databases up to April 2020 was conducted. The systematic scoping review followed the PRISMA methodology
Results:
After reviewing 1427 articles, 12 of them were selected as the most consistent with the proposed inclusion criteria. After their review, it was found that the studies showed the effectiveness of the video as an effective tool for improving care related to chronic pathologies
Conclusions:
Video is effective in improving the care and quality of life of chronic patients, whether the initiative for using video came from their healthcare professionals or themselves.
