Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the content of the videos on 'pit-and-fissure sealants' in Turkish on YouTubeTM.
Material and Method: The first 200 videos accessed by searching YouTube in Turkish with the keywords "pit and fissure sealant" were evaluated. The videos were evaluated according to the Global Quality Scale (GQS), Reliability Scale (DISCERN), and another scale that were created by the researchers considering the guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD).
Results: Considering the inclusion criteria, 68 videos were analyzed. The mean GQS score of the videos was 1.6(0.7), DISCERN score was 2(1.1) and the AAPD information evaluation score was 1.8(1.2). According to the GQS scores, 48.5% of the videos contain low-quality information, 39.7% low-medium-quality information, and 11.8% medium-quality information, while there was no video with medium-high or high-quality information. Videos with medium-quality GQS scores were significantly longer than videos with low-quality or medium-low-quality GQS scores; medium-low-quality videos were longer than low-quality videos (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The results of this study illustrated that the number of contents on "pit-and-fissure sealant" on YouTube was quite low, and the quality of the content was insufficient. Dental professionals should recommend professional resources to patients for accessing scientific information.

Pit ve Fissür Örtücüler ile ilgili Türkçe YouTube™️ İçeriklerinin Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, YouTubeTM’da bulunan “pit ve fissür örtücü” konulu Türkçe videoların bilgi içeriklerinin değerlendirilmesidir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: YouTubeTM’da “pit ve fissür örtücü” anahtar kelimeleri kullanılarak Türkçe arama yapılarak erişilen ilk 200 video değerlendirmeye alınmıştır. Videolar Küresel Kalite Ölçeği Skalası (GQS), Bilgi Güvenilirliği Skalası (DISCERN) ve Amerikan Çocuk Diş hekimliği Akademisi’nin (AAPD) kriterleri dikkate alınarak araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan bir bilgi kapsamı skalasına göre değerlendirilmiştir.
Bulgular: 200 videonun 68’i değerlendirme kriterlerine uygun bulunarak analiz edilmiştir. Videoların ortalama GQS skoru 1.6 (0.7), ortalama DISCERN skoru 2 (1.1) ve ortalama bilgi kapsamı değerlendirme skoru 1.8 (1.2)’dir. GQS skoruna göre videoların %48.5’i düşük kalitede, %39.7’si düşük-orta kalitede ve %11.8’i orta kalitede bilgi içerirken, orta-yüksek veya yüksek kalitede bilgi içeren herhangi bir video bulunmamaktadır. GQS skoru orta kalite düzeyinde olan videoların süresi, düşük kalite ve düşük-orta kalite düzeyindeki videolardan; düşük-orta kalite düzeyindeki videoların süresi ise düşük kalite düzeyindeki videolardan anlamlı derecede daha yüksek bulunmuştur (p<0.05).
Sonuç: Bu çalışmanın sonuçları, YouTubeTM’da “pit ve fissür örtücü” konulu Türkçe içerik sayısının oldukça az, içerik kalitesinin ise yetersiz olduğunu göstermektedir. Diş hekimleri, hastalara doğru bilgiye ulaşabilmeleri için profesyonel kaynaklar önermelidir.
