Describe three key tactics used to create  a Buck’s Traction educational video.2.  List two tactics used to implement this clinical resource. Evidence• Video can be highly effective as an educational tool in e-learning environments (Curran et al., 2020)• In medical education, learners have reported high levels of satisfaction with the brief and concise nature of educational videos, ease of access and use, and ability to view videos in a variety of settings (Curran et al., 2020)• Studies have compared the use of skeletal traction versus cutaneous skin traction (Buck’s) and found skin traction is a useful and cost-effective method of maintaining alignment and pain relief in adult femoral shaft fractures. (Agbley et al., 2020 & Even  et al., 2012).Methods• January 2021: TTU’s Professional Governance Council identified nurses from non-trauma units were seeing trauma patients and identified a lack of clinical resources and training to set up ordered Buck’s Traction. • The council developed a resource binder; however, accessibility was limited. Nurses proposed the creation of a video education reference. Tactics implemented included:   Coordinating a team of six clinical nurses, one unit educator and one unlicensed colleague   Developing a script   Obtaining equipment for filming   Practicing and recording the content   Providing a voiceover   Uploading the video into the organization’s online electronic learning management system (LMS)Outcomes• Video made accessible in the organization’s online electronic LMS in September 2023• The Buck’s Traction education video is:   Assigned to all new staff on the TTU   Available to all colleagues within the organization   Viewed at the network-wide trauma nurse education sessionsKey Challenges • Coordinating multiple team members’ schedules• Obtaining a simulation center to film the video• Securing funding during the COVID-19 pandemic Future Direction• Maintain the education in the online LMS; update as needed • Disseminate the project for consideration in a peer-reviewed professional nursing journalwatch video here!
