AbstractBackground: The use of videos and films may improve the well-being of people with major cognitive disorder. Most literature about the use is within the community. There is a literature gap in the use in care settings. Exploring this gap is particularly timely during the COVID-19 pandemic, considering the lockdown of many care settings and the potential support that videos and films can be provided to people with the major cognitive disorder in these settings. In addition, compared with more complex technologies, videos and films are relatively inexpensive and easy to implement, making them more accessible.
Objective: This scoping review aims to understand the facilitators and barriers to implementing videos and films with people with the major cognitive disorder in care settings, as well as the benefits and drawbacks of using this technology with this population.
Method: This scoping review followed the Joanna Briggs Institute scoping review methodology. It was conducted between May and July 2022. It followed a three-step search strategy: (1) identifying keywords from an initial broad search using two databases CINAHL and AgeLine; (2) doing a second search using all identified keywords and index terms across chosen databases (CINAHL, AgeLine, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Web of Science, ProQuest, and Google); and (3) hand-searching the reference lists of all selected articles for additional literature.
Results: The final results included ten articles. Content analysis was conducted. Facilitators and barriers to implementing videos and films with people with the major cognitive disorder in care settings were identified. The benefits and drawbacks of using videos and films with this population were also identified.
Conclusion: This scoping review presents current evidence on facilitators and barriers to implementing videos and films with people with the major cognitive disorder in care settings, and the benefits and drawbacks of using videos and films with this population.Keywords: videos, films, people with major cognitive disorder, care setting, long-term care, scoping review
