Abstract

Objective To examine the providers’ perceptions and experiences on implementation of video review (VR) of procedures in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

Design Qualitative study using semi-structured interviews with neonatal care providers about their experiences with VR. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed and thematically analysed using the data analysis software Atlas.ti V.22.2.

Setting Providers working in the NICU of the Leiden University Medical Center were interviewed during implementation of VR.

Results In total, 28 NICU staff members were interviewed. The interviewed providers appreciated VR and valued the focus on a safe learning environment. Five overarching themes were identified: (1) added value: providers reported that VR is a powerful tool for reflection on daily practice and serves as a magnifying glass on practice, provides a helicopter view and VR with nursing and medical staff together led to new insights and was seen as highly valuable; (2) preconditions and considerations: the existing culture of trust on the NICU positively influenced providers’ perception; (3) adjustment: it was recommended to first let providers attend a VR session, before being recorded; (4) experiences with VR: suggestions were made by the providers regarding the preparation and organisation of VR and the role of the chair; (5) embedding VR: providers considered how to embed VR on the long-term while maintaining a safe learning environment and provided suggestions for expanding.

Conclusion Neonatal care providers appreciated the use of VR and provided viewpoints on how to implement VR successfully, which were used to develop a roadmap with recommendations.
