Abstract

Amaç: YouTube® dünya çapında en sık kullanılan sosyal medya platformlarından biridir. Videoların kalitesi, hamile kadınlara doğru bilgi verilmesi ve COVID-19 gibi hayatı tehdit eden hastalıkların teşhisi, tedavisi ve önlenmesi açısından son derece önemlidir. Bu çalışma, hamile kadınların covid-19 aşıları için bilgi kaynağı olarak kullandığı YouTube videolarının içerik ve kalitesini değerlendirmeyi amaçlamıştır. Materyal metod: YouTube'da "hamilelik ve covid aşısı", "covid aşısı gebelikte riskli midir?" gibi anahtar kelime ve ifadelerle arama yapıldı. Toplam 54 İngilizce video analiz edildi. Video kaynakları hastaneler, meslek odaları, hamileler, doktorlar ve haber kanalları olarak 5 gruba ayrıldı. İçeriklerin kalitesi DISCERN, GQS ve bu amaçla geliştirdiğimiz gebelik covid aşı indeksi (CAI) ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Bu videolardan 20'sinin (%37) hastaneler tarafından, 5'inin (9) paylaşıldığını tespit ettik. %) doktorlar tarafından, 5'i (%9) hamile kadınlar tarafından, 22'si (%41) haber programları veya haber programı sunucuları tarafından ve 2'si (%4) tabip odaları tarafından paylaşılmıştır. Ortalama DISCERN skoru 33.2±17 idi. Gebe grup GQS açısından diğer gruplardan anlamlı olarak farklıydı (p=0.048). Gruplar arasında gebelikte covid aşı indeksi açısından anlamlı fark bulunmadı (p= 0,501). Sonuç: Bu çalışma, videoların içeriklerinin takip eden kişiler için acilen tıbbi kılavuza göre düzenlenmesi gerektiğini ortaya koydu.
