Objective: To create and evaluate the content validity of educational videos on self-management of fluid restriction and thirst for individuals with heart failure (HF). Method: A psychometric study was conducted in three stages: (1) an integrative literature review to identify strategies for self-management of fluid restriction and thirst by individuals with HF; (2) creation of animated videos about strategies for self-management of fluid restriction and thirst; and (3) analysis of the content validity of the educational videos by 11 experts. For each criterion, the content validity ratio (CVR) was calculated; it was considered adequate when <0.636. Suggestions were evaluated by the researchers, and the videos were modified. Results: Ten scripts and videos were created, averaging 30 s each. The videos' contents were based on 11 studies retrieved from the review and one specialized website. The videos were evaluated by experts, and adjustments were made when CVR < 0.636 and when allowed by the video production platform. Conclusions: Educational videos were developed and have satisfactory content validity evidence according to expert opinions. Implications for nursing practice: These videos are expected to be used as educational strategies in clinical practice to prevent episodes of decompensation due to excessive fluid volume.
