Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, YouTube'a gönderilen Türkçe videoların erektil disfonksiyon (ED) hakkında bilgilendirici değerini değerlendirmektir.
Gereç ve yöntem: Youtube.com'da 11-18 Ocak 2023 tarihleri arasında yayınlanan, "erektil disfonksiyon" anahtar kelimesi ile erişilen, Türkçe yayınlanan ve arama sonuçlarında standart bir alaka düzeyi sırasına göre gösterilen ilk 125 video incelenmiştir. 1 dakikadan kısa, bilgi içermeyen, fıkra, film fragmanı, ürün reklamı içeren, yayınlanmasının üzerinden 1 aydan az geçmiş veya ED ile ilgisi olmayan videolar çalışma dışı bırakıldı. Videoların bilgi içeriğinin kalitesi, DISCERN puanlaması kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Elde edilen veriler SPSS Statistics 24 programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir.
Bulgular: Dahil edilme kriterlerine uyan 100 videonun %74'ünün sağlık meslek mensupları, %3'ünün İlaç Endüstrisi, %5'inin Takviye Gıda Sektörü, %3'ünün psikologlar ve %15'inin sağlık meslekleri dışındaki meslek mensupları tarafından yüklendiği belirlendi. Videolar içeriklerine göre incelendiğinde yayınlanan videoların konularının öncelikli olarak teşhis ve tedavi odaklı olduğu belirlendi. Bununla birlikte hastalığın etiyopatolojisi ve semptomlarına yönelik içerikler sunan videoların da bulunduğu tespit edilmiştir. Videoların toplam süresi 10 saat 58 dakika ve 24 saniye (1 dakika ila 53,05 dakika) idi. Toplam izlenme sayısı 21.893,514 (15-1.700,000) olurken, toplam beğeni sayısı 130,340 olarak belirlendi. Ortalama izlenme sayısı 8.002,64 (1.998,76-11.953,26), aylık ortalama beğeni sayısı ise 47,30 (11,88-73,1) oldu. DISCERN için ortalama değer 3,3 (1-5) olarak hesaplanmıştır. DISCERN puanları ile ortalama aylık beğeni sayısı arasında negatif bir korelasyon vardı. Videoların süresi ile DISCERN puanları arasında pozitif ve anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Doktorlar tarafından yüklenen videolar yüksek bir DISCERN puanına sahipken, diğer videoların içerik kalitesi orta ile zayıf arasındaydı.
Sonuç: Genel olarak, YouTube'daki ED ile ilgili videoların %50'si orta ila düşük içerik kalitesine sahiptir. Hekimler tarafından yüklenen videolar, yüksek DISCERN puanlarına, yüksek beğeni ve izlenme oranlarına sahipti. DISCERN derecelendirmeleri ile ortalama aylık beğeniler ve görüntülemeler arasında negatif bir korelasyon vardı.

Turkish YouTube videos on erectile dysfunction as an informal information source: do they contain reliable content?

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the informative value of Turkish videos submitted to YouTube about erectile dysfunction (ED).
Materials and methods: The first 125 videos published on Youtube.com between January 11 and 18, 2023, accessed with the keyword "erectile dysfunction," published in Turkish, and displayed in search results in a standard order of relevance were studied. Videos that were less than 1 minute long, do not contain information, contains jokes, movie trailers, or product advertisements, were less than 1 month old since their publication, or were unrelated to ED were excluded from the study. The quality of the information content of the videos was assessed using DISCERN scoring. The obtained data were analyzed using SPSS Statistics 24 software.
Results: It was determined that out of the 100 videos that met the inclusion criteria, 74% were uploaded by healthcare professionals, 3% by the Pharmaceutical Industry, 5% by the Dietary Supplement Industry, 3% by psychologists, and 15% by non-healthcare professionals. When the videos were examined based on their content, it was determined that the topics of the published videos primarily focused on diagnosis and treatment. However, it was also found that there were videos that provided content on the etiopathology and symptoms of the disease. The total duration of the videos was 10 hours, 58 minutes, and 24 seconds (1 minute to 53.05 minutes). While the total number of views was 21.893.514 (15-1.700.000), the total number of likes was determined to be 130.340. The average views were 8.002.64 (1.998.76-11.953.26), and the average monthly likes were 47.30 (11.88-73.1). The average value for DISCERN was calculated to be 3.3 (1-5). There was a negative correlation between the DISCERN scores and the average monthly number of likes. It was found that there was a positive and significant correlation between the duration of videos and DISCERN scores. Videos uploaded by physicians had a high DISCERN score, while the content quality of the other videos was moderate to poor.
Conclusions: Overall, 50% of ED-related videos on YouTube have moderate to poor content quality. Videos uploaded by physicians had high DISCERN scores and high likes and view rates. A negative correlation existed between DISCERN ratings and average monthly likes and views.
