Objectives: to develop and validate an educational technology (educational video) oriented toward health professionals and addressing fall prevention in hospitalized children. Methods: methodological study carried out between December 2017 and January 2019 in five steps: identification of themes based on a literature review and the examination of the Brazilian Ministry of Health Fall Prevention Protocol; development of an educational video; validation of the material by referees specialized in children’s health, patient safety, or social communication; validation by the target audience, made up of health professionals at a pediatrics institute in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; and material adjustment. A Likert-like scale was used to validate the video, with items showing agreement indexes equal to or higher than 70% considered validated. Results: the video “Fall prevention in hospitalized children” was produced and validated with an average adequacy agreement index of 86% among the referees and 99.3% among the target audience. Only one item, related to adequate size of titles and topics, was not validated by the referees and was modified based on their suggestions. Conclusion: the video was validated by the referees and the target audience and may have practical application in education and training of health professionals who work in the children’s health field.
Objectives: To identify the knowledge of nursing professionals about palliative care in pediatric oncology and their needs for end-of-life care.
