Objective: To analyze YouTube® videos showing the dressing procedure for contaminated wounds.
Method: Qualitative descriptive exploratory research conducted on the YouTube® video sharing platform. The search was guided by keywords, during the period between November and December 2023. For the critical analysis of the videos, an instrument was used that was developed in accordance with scientific literature related to the care of contaminated wounds.
Results: 24 videos were identified, none of which were fully compliant. Among the results found, the following stand out: failure to check medical records and identify patients; failure to perform hand hygiene; incorrect handling of sterile dressing packages; failure to follow cleaning principles; absence of tools for wound assessment; failure to identify dressings; and absence of nursing records.
Conclusion: YouTube® videos dealing with the dressing procedure for contaminated wounds should be viewed with caution when used for educational purposes in nursing.
