Because of current trends in health care, nurses must find efficient, cost-effective, and innovative ways to provide quality patient education. In working with the pediatric oncology population, it is necessary to teach several family members how to care for the patient. One of the skills families must learn is care of the permanent right atrial catheter (PRAC). Although nurses and families together agreed a videotape would be extremely helpful in learning PRAC care, there was no videotape available to meet these needs. We developed and produced a patient education video on care of the permanent right atrial catheter. This article discusses identifying and organizing resources and finances, steps involved in writing and editing a script, and the producing/videotaping process. By sharing our experience, we hope to enable other nurses to create their own patient education materials.
