Abstract Aim To validate the content of the script of an educational video to promote self-care with arteriovenous fistula in chronic renal patients with nurses and social communicators. Method Methodological study that constructed and validated an educational video. Firstly, the demands of self-care were identified through a literature review on self-care with arteriovenous fistula. Then the construction of the video followed the steps of pre-production, production and post-production. The script's content validation occurred in the pre-production phase and counted on 22 nursing judges and media professionals. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee in Research, under opinion 61705516.0.0000.5208. Results The following items received a negative evaluation from the judges: “The scenes described reflect stereotypes or discrimination” ( p  = 0.008) and “The pace of the scenes is tiring” ( p  = 0.001/ p  = 0.034), “The characters/images are appealing to the audience ( p  = 0.006), “The illustrations reflect important aspects of subject under study” ( p  = 0.006), “The illustrations promote the understanding of the video message” ( p  = 0.001) and “The general structure is creative” ( p  = 0.001). Conclusion The educational video was considered valid by the nursing judges and media professionals to promote self-care with arteriovenous fistula among renal patients.
