Video-based assessment, particularly Trauma Video Review (TVR), is gaining traction as an effective tool for education, quality improvement, and research in trauma care. This study aimed to evaluate the perceptions of trauma team members regarding TVR, focusing on both positive and negative viewpoints. An anonymous electronic survey was conducted among nurses, trainees, and faculty after weekly TVR activities, measuring their perceptions of performance improvement and levels of anxiety.

Analysis of 146 completed surveys over eight months revealed that a significant majority found TVR to be educational rather than punitive, with 84% having prior experience with TVR conferences. Notably, trainees and nurses reported greater improvements in resuscitation education quality and personal leadership skills compared to faculty, who generally expressed lower positive perceptions. Additionally, trainees in earlier postgraduate years were more likely to agree with negative perceptions of TVR, while nurses showed the least apprehension. Overall, the findings indicate that TVR effectively enhances trauma education, particularly for trainees and nurses, fostering a supportive learning environment.
