title: Educational video as a healthcare education resource for people with colostomy and their families.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To know the perceptions of participants in a support group for people with colostomy on the use of video as a resource for health education.
  
  
  METHODS
  Qualitative research with 16 participants in a support group for people with colostomy in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Data were collected in April and May of 2016, through a focus group, and subjected to the thematic analysis proposed by Minayo.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The results led to three categories: care and self-care are learned alone: the lived reality; health education and learning through educational video: perceived opportunities; the singularities of the educational video from the viewpoint of people with colostomy and their families.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The scarcity of guidelines retards independence and hinders autonomy in care and self-care. The audio-visual technology applied in this study complements the educational guidelines, and can enable changes and the opportunity to rethink pedagogical nursing practices.
