Evaluation of YoutubeTM Videos as a Patient Education Source for Postoperative Care After Tooth Extraction

Abstract

Objectives: This study will assess the quality, understandability and actionability of YouTubeTM videos relating to postoperative care, using tooth extraction as a point of focus. Materials and Methods: As keywords, ‘postoperative care after tooth extraction’ and ‘postoperative instructions after tooth extraction’ were used. After selection of the videos, a 16-point usefulness index was used in order to evaluate the content of the videos. Modified DICERN and Global Quality Scale (GQS) were used for assessing quality of the videos and in order to evaluate understandability and actionability of the selected videos, Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool for Audiovisual Materials (PEMAT-A/V) were used. The relationship and correlation between the descriptive data of the videos and the findings of scoring systems and the correlation between scoring systems were evaluated. Results: Totally, 55 videos were selected for evaluation. Duration of the videos was the sole variable affecting the usefulness and quality of the videos (p<0.05). Among evaluated videos 27.3% were very useful and 54.5% were moderately useful. There was a relationship between usefulness and quality-measuring scoring systems, but no relationship between usefulness and PEMAT-A/V scores of the videos (p<0.001; p=0.064 respectively). Conclusion: It could be concluded that videos on YouTubeTM about the topic ‘postoperative care after tooth extraction’ might be useful in an acceptable level, but these selected videos might not be satisfyingly understandable and action-motivating.
