Assessment of the Quality and Reliability of the Information on Bone Tumor on Youtube
Journal Title: Bagcilar Medical Bulletin - Year 2020, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective: Our aim is to assess the content quality and reliability of Youtube videos on bone tumors. Method: We searched Youtube using the keyword “bone tumors,” and included the first 50 videos listed in our study. Two orthopedic surgeons analyzed the videos, and then, we examined them in terms of length, number of views and likes, and source. To evaluate their content quality, the Global Quality score (GQS) (0-4), Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) (0-5), and DISCERN (15-75) scoring systems were used; based on these, the obtained data were statistically analyzed. Results: Of the 50 videos analyzed, four (8%) included animation, while 46 (92%) did not; 12 (24%) were uploaded by doctors, 23 (46%) by health channels, 10 (20%) by universities, three (6%) by clinics, and one (2%) each by a hospital and a trainer. The average video length was 16 minutes and 18 seconds (38-6.088 seconds), average number of views was 14,856.24, and average number of likes was 130.50 (1-1448). The mean scores of GQS, JAMA, and DISCERN were 2.22 (1-4), 2.12 (1-3), and 33.48 (15-75), respectively. There was no statistical significance in the scores and video length, or the number of likes and views between the two researchers. Conclusion: Youtube videos on bone tumors have low content quality. Improvement of the same will help dispense correct information to patients, so that they can continue their treatment. We believe that patient treatment compliance can be increased by accelerating the patient’s preparation and adaptation process for treatment with accurate information.
