Evaluation of the use of visual storytelling as an educational intervention in the cardiac ICU: reaching parents before they are in crisis

In brief

This study evaluated educational videos using visual storytelling to prepare parents for their child's cardiac ICU admission and post-operative care. Testing with 16 parents showed high acceptability (92% rated helpful) and safety, with participants reporting the videos would reduce distress if viewed before admission.
