The Undergraduate Nursing Course has been using videos for the past year or so. Videos are used for many different purposes such as during lessons, nurse refresher courses, reinforcement, and sharing and comparison of knowledge with the professional and scientific community. The purpose of this study was to estimate the efficacy of the video (moving an uncooperative patient from the supine to the lateral position) as an instrument to refresh and reinforce nursing techniques. A two-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT) design was chosen: both groups attended lessons in the classroom as well as in the laboratory; a month later while one group received written information as a refresher, the other group watched the video. Both groups were evaluated in a blinded fashion. A total of 223 students agreed to take part in the study. The difference observed between those who had seen the video and those who had read up on the technique turned out to be an average of 6.19 points in favour of the first (P < 0.05). The results of the RCT demonstrated that students who had seen the video were better able to apply the technique, resulting in a better performance. The video, therefore, represents an important tool to refresh and reinforce previous learning.
过去一年左右，本科护理课程一直在使用视频。视频有多种用途，如在课程中、护士进修课程中、强化课程中，以及与专业和科学界分享和比较知识。本研究旨在评估视频（将不合作的患者从仰卧位移动到侧卧位）作为刷新和强化护理技术的工具的效果。选择了一项双臂随机对照试验 (RCT) 设计：两组都在教室和实验室上课；一个月后，一组通过书面信息进行复习，另一组观看视频。两组均以盲法进行评估。共有 223 名学生同意参加这项研究。结果发现，观看过视频的学生与阅读过该技术的学生之间的差异平均为 6.19 分（P<0.05），前者更占优势。RCT 的结果表明，观看过视频的学生能够更好地应用该技术，从而表现更好。因此，视频是刷新和强化先前学习的重要工具。
