Impact of a videotaped dental fear-reduction program on people who avoid dental treatment.

Discussed is the impact of a videotaped dental fear-reduction program on moderately and highly fearful people who avoid dental treatment. Subjects were assigned randomly to one of two groups--the videotaped treatment group or the videotaped placebo group. The results indicate that the videotaped treatment program produced a decrease in self-reported fear in both moderately fearful and highly fearful subjects. However, the treatment program increased dental visitation and appointment-making behavior only for moderately fearful subjects.

Effects of a videotape to increase use of poison control centers by low-income and Spanish-speaking families: a randomized, controlled trial.

BACKGROUND: Poison control centers (PCCs) reduce health care costs for childhood poisonings by providing telephone advice for home management of most cases. Past research suggests that PCCs are underutilized by low-income minority and Spanish-speaking parents because of lack of knowledge and misconceptions about the PCC. A videotape intervention was designed to address these barriers to PCC use. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of a videotape intervention (videotape, PCC pamphlet, and PCC stickers) in improving knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and behavioral intention regarding use of the PCC in a low-income and predominantly Spanish-speaking population in Northern California. METHODS: Two hundred eighty-nine parents of children <6 years of age, attending educational classes at 2 Women, Infant, and Children (WIC) clinics participated in a randomized, controlled trial. WIC classes were randomized to receive the video intervention (video group) or to attend the regularly scheduled WIC class (control group). Participants completed a baseline questionnaire and 2 to 4 weeks later, a follow-up telephone interview. Changes from baseline to posttest were compared in the treatment and control groups using analysis of variance. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, the video group showed an increase in knowledge about the PCC's function, its hours of operation, and staff qualifications; was more likely to feel confident in speaking with and carrying out recommendations made by the PCC; was less likely to believe the PCC would report a mother for neglect; was more likely to have the correct PCC phone number posted in their homes; and when presented with several hypothetical emergency scenarios, was more likely to correctly answer that calling the PCC was the best action to take in a poisoning situation. CONCLUSIONS: This videotape intervention was highly effective in changing knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and behavioral intentions concerning the PCC within this population. As a result, use of this video may help increase use of the PCC by low-income and Spanish-speaking families.

Promoting mealtime communication between adolescent mothers and their infants through videotape.

OBJECTIVE: To use social learning theory to develop and examine the effectiveness of a 15-minute, culturally sensitive videotape in altering mealtime communication and attitudes among African-American adolescent mothers. DESIGN: Randomized clinical trial with baseline and follow-up evaluations. SETTING: High schools, WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) Clinics, and Family Support Centers serving low-income families. PARTICIPANTS: Fifty-nine first-time, African-American adolescent mothers of infants. INTERVENTION: Intervention group viewed and received a copy of a videotape titled "Feeding Your Baby With Love." The messages, title, music, and setting were designed by an advisory group of six African-American adolescent mothers who were filmed feeding their infants in their homes. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS: During baseline and follow-up evaluations, mothers were videotaped feeding their baby and completed a questionnaire on attitudes toward mealtime behavior. Analysis of covariance with repeated measures indicated changes in both behavior and attitudes. At follow-up, intervention mothers were more involved with their infant and reported more favorable attitudes toward feeding and communication than control mothers. CONCLUSIONS: Brief culturally sensitive videotapes may be effective strategies to promote parenting skills and to prevent social and health problems among adolescents.

"Drugs and AIDS--reaching for help": a videotape on AIDS and drug abuse prevention for criminal justice populations.

This article describes the development of a videotape targeted at persons under supervision of the criminal justice system. The videotape seeks to encourage those who use illicit drugs to enter drug treatment and to motivate those at risk for exposure to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to alter behaviors that may transmit infection. The criminal justice system presents an important opportunity to deliver such messages, particularly to a large population of persons briefly detained in a jail or lockup and released without subsequent incarceration. Evidence suggests that, even in this audience, knowledge of how to prevent exposure to HIV is widespread, yet those at risk often fail to take appropriate precautions: motivating behavior change demands more than imparting information. In order to shape this videotape, we analyzed the target audience and developed a drama-based approach that applies the framework of social learning theory, the health belief model, and principles of social marketing. This article describes the integration of that theoretical framework into the production process, content, and strategy of the videotape.

The multilingual videotape project: community involvement in a unique health education program.

The large number of Southeast Asian, Hispanic, and Portuguese immigrants in Rhode Island face formidable language and cultural barriers in gaining access to the health care that they need. As the funding for refugee-specific programs diminishes, the focus is on programs that encourage self-sufficiency, assist in gaining access to mainstream health care, and involve a collaboration among service agencies and the communities they serve. On behalf of a coalition of health care and community agencies, Women and Infants Hospital of Rhode Island received a private foundation grant to produce nine multilingual videotapes that would educate immigrants and refugees about health issues specific to them and help them access the health care system. The project was structured to maximize the involvement of the various communities and to "empower" community members in working with mainstream service agencies. Coalition and other community members provided input into topic selection, script content, and presentation methods for the videotapes that would be culturally appropriate. During the 2-year project, nine videotapes were produced with narration in seven languages. Copies of the videotapes were distributed free of charge to coalition members.

Comparison between videotape and personalized patient education for anticoagulant therapy.

To assess the effectiveness of videotape patient education, 22 patients were randomized to receive either videotape or personalized teaching for oral anticoagulant (warfarin) therapy. Both groups scored significantly higher on a questionnaire designed to assess knowledge gained after instruction, with no significant difference between the two groups. Videotape instruction required substantially less nursing time. A second questionnaire assessed patient satisfaction with respect to both methods, which were rated equally effective and worthwhile. Videotape teaching is an effective and well-accepted alternative form of patient education requiring significantly less personnel time.

Comparison of two methods designed to improve pediatric dental case presentations utilizing videotapes.

This study compared the effectiveness of two methods of teaching the skills required for dentist-parent pediatric case presentations. Seventy-two senior dental students were videotaped presenting a child's case presentation to a parent. The students were then randomly assigned to one of two groups. Students in Group 1 viewed and evaluated a model videotape of the principal investigator presenting a case to a parent. Students in Group 2 viewed their previously videotaped presentation. Both groups evaluated performance on the tapes using a list of 25 performance-specific criteria identified as important for a case presentation. Following this evaluation, 36 students were able to be taped while presenting a second case to another parent. One investigator blindly evaluated each taped presentation using the 25 criteria. Students who viewed the model videotape demonstrated a significant improvement in performance from their first presentation (p = 0.0044). Students who evaluated their own tape showed no significant improvement (p = 0.8830). Students perceived both methods to be helpful, minimally stressful, and requiring little time.

The effectiveness of videotape in patient education on depression.

The effectiveness of videotape for patient education on depression was assessed. The videotape was shown to members of a general patient population and accompanying persons in the waiting area of a health maintenance organization (HMO) clinic, then evaluated according to pre- and post-test questionnaire responses before and after viewing the tape. The patients' knowledge of depression increased significantly (p less than or equal to 0.002) as a result of the videotape intervention. Although attitudes were not affected, 91.7% found it useful and 38.3% thought it reassuring. There was a high demand for access to more health educational videotapes.

Use of videotaped consultations in summative assessment of trainees in general practice.

BACKGROUND: There are many different methods by which trainees may be assessed summatively. AIM: The objective of the study was to determine if videotaped consultations could be used to identify reliably those general practitioner trainees who have not yet reached acceptable levels of competence. METHOD: Videotapes of 10 trainees carrying out normal consultations were assessed by 20 assessors for acceptable competence using a rating scale specifically developed for the purpose. RESULTS: A principal components analysis showed a strong correlation among the items in the rating scale used, indicating that a single underlying factor accounted for 76% of the overall scores. Agreement between assessors on the scoring of individual consultations was limited. There was much greater consistency with regard to the decision on overall competence, examined for the first consultation. A non-competent trainee would have a 95% probability of being identified by the process as described using two assessors for each videotape. The assessors had reached firm judgements on each trainee by the time four consultations had been viewed. CONCLUSION: The workload involved in producing and analysing the tapes is discussed. Considerations of patient consent are addressed. It is concluded that the use of videotaped consultations appears to offer a feasible and reliable method of summative assessment of general practitioner trainees.

Comparison of the effectiveness of tutored videotape instruction versus traditional lecture for a basic hemodynamic monitoring course.

As nurse educators find themselves faced with increasing responsibilities and as nursing administrators seek to use nurse educators in the most cost-effective, resource-efficient manner, alternatives to the traditional lecture must be sought. Tutored videotape instruction is an educational method in which a tutor serves to clarify points of confusion and to stimulate discussion during a videotape presentation. Using a hierarchal nested research design, there were no significant differences in participant preference or posttest knowledge scores between the methods. As a result, tutored videotape instruction was adopted as an acceptable educational method. In addition, tutored videotape instruction can serve as a developmental tool for RN preceptors as tutors and for newly hired critical care educators.

High performance seizure-monitoring system using a vibration sensor and videotape recording: behavioral analysis of genetically epileptic rats.

A new seizure-monitoring apparatus containing a piezoceramic vibration sensor combined with videotape recording was developed. Behavioral analysis of Ihara's genetically epileptic rat (IGER), which is a recently developed novel mutant with spontaneously limbic-like seizures, was performed using this new device. Twenty 8-month-old male IGERs were monitored continuously for 72 h. Abnormal behaviors were detected by use of a vibration recorder, and epileptic seizures were confirmed by videotape recordings taken synchronously with vibration recording. Representative forms of seizures were generalized convulsions and circling seizures. Generalized convulsions were found in 13 rats, and circling seizures in 7 of 20 animals. Two rats had generalized and circling seizures, and two rats did not have seizures. Although there was no apparent circadian rhythm to the generalized seizures, circling seizures occurred mostly between 1800 and 0800 h. A correlation between the sleep-wake cycle and the occurrence of circling seizures seems likely. Without exception, all the seizure actions were recorded by the vibration recorder and the videotape recorder. To eliminate the risk of a false-negative result, investigators scrutinized the information obtained from the vibration sensor and the videotape recorder. The newly developed seizure-monitoring system was found to facilitate detailed analysis of epileptic seizures in rats.

Video voyeurs and the covert videotaping of unsuspecting victims: psychological and legal consequences.

Video voyeurs employ state of the art technology to gain access into the most private places where victims are covertly videotaped. Women are the usual victims of video voyeurs as they change their clothes, perform natural functions or engage in sexual activities. When the videotaping is discovered by the victim, serious psychological harm may result. A civil suit is the most common legal remedy sought. Criminal sanctions, when available, are often insufficient compared to the seriousness of the crime. While unauthorized, covert audiotaping is forbidden by both federal and state codes, videotaping is often not specifically mentioned. It appears that legislators do not fully appreciate the burgeoning of covert videotaping, the technological advances that have greatly expanded the possibilities for voyeuristic viewing and the harm done to victims of video voyeurs. Appropriate criminal sanctions need to be included in privacy statutes for unauthorized, video surveillance with or without accompanying audio transcription.

The efficacy of videotape feedback for enhancing the effects of exposure-based treatment for social anxiety disorder: a controlled investigation.

Correcting patients' faulty beliefs concerning social evaluative threats is the hallmark of cognitive-behavioral treatment of social anxiety disorder. The current study examined the efficacy of two videotape feedback procedures as adjuncts to exposure-based treatment. Participants suffering from social phobia (N=77) were randomly assigned to one of four conditions: (a) credible placebo treatment (PLA); (b) exposure + no feedback (EXP); (c) exposure + videotape feedback of performance (PER); or (d) exposure + videotape feedback of audience responses (AUD). Contrary to prediction, the videotape feedback procedures did not enhance the effects of exposure-based treatment. Clinical and theoretical implications are discussed.

Failure of educational videotapes to improve medication compliance in a health maintenance organization.

The value of mailed educational videotapes as a means of enhancing compliance with drug therapy was studied. Members of a health maintenance organization with a pharmacy claim for benazepril, metoprolol, simvastatin, or transdermal estrogen were randomly assigned to a study group or a control group. Subjects in the study group were mailed one of four videotape programs giving information on the drug prescribed and the inferred disease state. Control subjects received no educational materials. Subjects were enrolled from July 1, 1993, through January 2, 1994. Refill data were collected from July 1, 1993, through April 1, 1994. The medication possession ratio (MPR) was calculated as the total number of days' supply of a drug obtained by a member divided by the number of days between the time of enrollment and April 1, 1994, or the date the member was terminated from the plan. A subject was deemed compliant if his or her MPR was > or = 0.80. There were no significant differences in mean MPRs between the study group (n = 1993) and the control group (n = 2253). None of the mean MPRs was > or = 0.80, although 44% of control subjects and 46% of study-group subjects were compliant. Of 97 respondents to a survey mailed to a randomly selected subset of the study group, almost 87% reported that they had viewed the videotapes, and of these subjects, about 88% said they found them very useful or somewhat useful. A one-time mailing of videotapes to patients, with no individual follow-up, did not increase compliance with the medications monitored.

Effect of two different videotaped instructional models on motor and verbal behaviors of adults' lifting: a pilot study.

This study examined two different videotaped instructional models on subsequent motor and verbal behaviors of adults (N=9) learning how to lift properly. The correct model group viewed a narrated videotape of a skilled individual demonstrating lifting; the learning model group viewed a videotape of an unskilled individual being taught lifting by an instructor, and the controls received no intervention. Adults lifted from floor to waist a plastic crate during 15 acquisition and 3 retention trials and lowered the crate from waist to floor during 3 transfer trials. Learning and correct model motor performances were similar yet higher than those of controls during acquisition and transfer trials. Verbal reports indicated learning, and correct models generated more extensive and associated mechanical concepts than controls yet rarely monitored such concepts during performance. A single presentation of videotapes of proper lifting using either correct or learning models is effective in enhancing motor performance and proper lifting knowledge.

Validation of the phenomenon of autistic regression using home videotapes.

CONTEXT: To date, there has been no objective validation of the phenomenon of autistic regression early in life. OBJECTIVE: To validate parental report of autistic regression using behavioral data coded from home videotapes of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) vs typical development taken at 12 and 24 months of age. DESIGN: Home videotapes of 56 children's first and second birthday parties were collected from parents of young children with ASD with and without a reported history of regression and typically developing children. Child behaviors were coded by raters blind to child diagnosis and regression history. A parent interview that elicited information about parents' recall of early symptoms from birth was also administered. SETTING: Participants were recruited from a multidisciplinary study of autism conducted at a major university. PARTICIPANTS: Fifteen children with ASD with a history of regression, 21 children with ASD with early-onset autism, and 20 typically developing children and their parents participated. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Observations of children's communicative, social, affective, repetitive behaviors, and toy play coded from videotapes of the toddlers' first and second birthday parties. RESULTS: Analyses revealed that infants with ASD with regression show similar use of joint attention and more frequent use of words and babble compared with typical infants at 12 months of age. In contrast, infants with ASD with early onset of symptoms and no regression displayed fewer joint attention and communicative behaviors at 12 months of age. By 24 months of age, both groups of toddlers with ASD displayed fewer instances of word use, vocalizations, declarative pointing, social gaze, and orienting to name as compared with typically developing 24-month-olds. Parent interview data suggested that some children with regression displayed difficulties in regulatory behavior before the regression occurred. CONCLUSION: This study validates the existence of early autistic regression.
