ARAUJO, Catarina Isabel Reis Silva Garcia e Teles de. Self-Care Modeling Videos for Spinal Cord Injuries: Design and Production of a Prototype. Rev. Enf. Ref. [online]. 2016, vol.serIV, n.8, pp.93-101. ISSN 0874-0283.  https://doi.org/10.12707/RIV15065.

Background: The use of videos in the rehabilitation of spinal cord injury (SCI) patients allows providing additional information on self-care techniques/exercises. Objectives: To identify the information needs of SCI patients, and produce and validate the contents of self-care training videos for SCI patients. Methodology: Qualitative study on the design and validation of a video prototype. Following a preliminary study on the information needs of SCI patients using a group of SCI patients and another group of rehabilitation professionals, 10 videos focused on rehabilitation techniques were created. The contents of these videos were then validated by 7 experts. Results: The most common suggestions from the interviewed experts were: positioning/movement of the SCI patient; use of alternative assistive devices; changes in shooting image, rhythm, duration or angle. Conclusion: The videos were assessed as reasonable to very good. The experts referred that the videos offer educational benefits when compared to written materials, such as manuals or leaflets.
