Abstract

Amaç: YouTube gibi dijital platformlar sağlıkla ilgili bilgiler için popüler kaynaklardır. Farklı çevrimiçi tıbbi içeriklerin kalitesinin değerlendirildiği çalışmalar yapılmış olsa da, demansla ilgili içeriklerin kalitesine odaklanan çalışmalar sınırlıdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, demanslı hasta bakımıyla ilişkili YouTube videolarının kalitesini değerlendirmektir.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: YouTube platformunda "Dementia care" terimi kullanılarak, dahil etme kriterlerini karşılayan 100 İngilizce video belirlendi ve analiz edildi. Video popülerlik ölçümlerinin yanı sıra, içerik kalitesini değerlendirmek için, küresel kalite ölçeği (global quality scale, GQS), modifiye DISCERN skalası, Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) kalite ölçeği ve işitsel/görsel materyaller için hasta eğitim materyalleri değerlendirme aracı (patient education materials evaluation tool for audio/visual, PEMAT-A/V) kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Videoların büyük çoğunluğunun akademik olmayan sağlık kuruluşları (%36) ve sağlık profesyonelleri (%23) tarafından yüklendiği görülmüştür. Videoların içeriği değerlendirildiğinde, genel bakım stratejilerinin %52 ile en yaygın içerik olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Uygulanan içerik kalitesi ölçeklerinin tümünde yüksek güvenilirlik ve doğruluk düzeylerine işaret eden skorlar saptanmıştır. Akademik sağlık kurumları kaynaklı videoların, içerik kalitesi ölçeklerinde en yüksek puanlara sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Korelasyon analizlerinde, süre, görüntüleme oranı, yorum sayısı ve video güç indeksi değerleri gibi video metrikleri, içerik kalitesi skorlarıyla pozitif yönde korelasyon göstermiştir.
Sonuç: YouTube platformunda yer alan demanslı hasta bakımıyla ilgili videolar, genel olarak yüksek popülerlik ve içerik kalitesi sergilemektedir. Çevrimiçi platformlarda demans bakımı hakkında bilgi arayan bireylerin, sağlık kuruluşları tarafından yüklenen videolara yönlendirilmeleri uygun olacaktır.

Evaluation of YouTube Videos as a Source of Information about Dementia Care

Abstract

Aim: Digital platforms such as YouTube are popular sources of health-related information. Although there are studies evaluating the quality of different online medical content, studies focusing on the quality of dementia-related content are limited. This study aimed to investigate the quality of YouTube videos related to dementia patient care.
Material and Methods: Using the term "Dementia care" on the YouTube platform, 100 English videos that met the inclusion criteria were identified and analyzed. In addition to video popularity measurements, to evaluate content quality, the global quality scale (GQS), modified DISCERN scale, Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) quality scale, and the patient education materials assessment tool for audio/visual materials (PEMAT-A/V) are used.
Results: It was observed that most of the videos were uploaded by non-academic health institutions (36%) and health professionals (23%). When the content of the videos was evaluated, it was determined that general care strategies were the most common content with 52%. Scores indicating high levels of reliability and accuracy were determined on all applied content quality scales. Videos sourced from academic healthcare institutions were found to have the highest scores on content quality scales. In correlation analyses, video metrics such as duration, view ratio, number of comments, and video power index values were positively correlated with content quality scores.
Conclusion: Videos about dementia patient care on YouTube generally exhibit high popularity and content quality. Individuals seeking information about dementia care on online platforms should be directed to videos uploaded by healthcare institutions.
