Clinician Perspectives on Animated Video Vignettes to Support Advance Care Planning Communication for Veterans.

Despite availability of educational resources and documentation methods for advance care planning (ACP), few video tools exist. Animation relevant to Veteran experiences may enhance clinical conversations by illustrating relatable scenarios. To explore clinician perspectives on four novel video vignettes created by the study group. Online survey with attention to perceived appropriateness, usefulness, and uptake intention. Virtual video presentation with feedback poll for Veterans Affairs clinicians. Descriptive and univariant analyses of responses to questions extracted from the validated Video Engagement Scale and prior ACP assessments. Thirty respondents rated video appropriateness and usefulness at a mean 4.8 (range 4-5). Videos were relatable, relevant, and motivating with 90% respondents reporting ready intention to use in clinical practice. Veteran-specific animated video vignettes are received affirmatively by Veteran Affairs clinicians. These videos have potential to foster early engaged discussions about ACP.
