Entwicklung und Validierung einer Checkliste zur Bewertung von Videos zum Erlernen von Reanimationsmaßnahmen

BACKGROUND: Well-performed resuscitation measures can improve the outcome in the event of cardiovascular arrest. Medical students often use teaching videos to learn practical skills. Studies confirmed the often inadequate quality of the videos on resuscitation available on the Internet. An evaluation using a validated checklist based on the current guidelines has so far been lacking. OBJECTIVE: The development and validation of a checklist for evaluating instructional videos on resuscitation. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In an expert workshop, checklist items were formulated based on the current guidelines. The checklist was tested by emergency physicians in a 4-step review process. The evaluations were analyzed and the items adjusted and specified if necessary. After the review process was completed, the checklist was applied to 74 videos on the topic of resuscitation. RESULTS: The checklist consists of 25 items in 4 categories (initial measures, chest compression, AED use, breathing), which are rated on a 3-level Likert scale. A total of 16 emergency doctors participated in the study and rated an average of 9.3 ± 5.7 videos each. The reviewers agreed in 65.1 ± 12.6% of the cases. The highest agreement was achieved in the subtopic AED, with the item “do not touch patients in shock” having the highest agreement. The items in the thoracic compression category were most often rated differently. CONCLUSION: For the first time, a checklist for evaluating instructional videos for resuscitation was created and validated for German-speaking countries.
