Information quality of Turkish videos on anterior cruciate ligament rehabilitation: cross-sectional research on YouTube example

Abstract

Objective: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are the most common among sports injuries. The patient should be treated with sportive rehabilitation, with or without surgery. The aim of this study is to analyze the quality of Turkish videos on ACL rehabilitation on YouTube. Material and Method: A search was made on YouTube with the keywords selected within the scope of the research. The descriptive features of the videos were recorded. To evaluate the information quality of the videos; modified DISCERN measurement tool for YouTube, JAMA score, YouTube ACL specific score, National Library of Medicine (NLM) Trustworthy Criteria and global quality score were used. Results: 57.4% (n=35) of the videos were patients, 29.5% (n=18) were doctors, 8.2% (n=5) were physiotherapists, and 4.9% (n=3) was prepared by a personal trainer. The cumulative number of views of the videos was 1786558. View rate 23.8±19.8, like rate was 93.2±5.4 and video power index was calculated as 22.4±18.9. There was no difference in the descriptive information of the videos according to occupational groups (p>0.05). The mean DISCERN score was 1.5±1.5, JAMA score 1.2±0.7, YouTube ACL specific score was 3.8±4.4, NLM Trustworthy Criteria score was 2.6±2.2 and global quality score was 2.6±1.2. The information quality of the videos made a difference according to the occupational groups (p<0.05). Video power index; showed a weak-level positive relationship with the information quality of the videos and a high-level positive relationship with the number of comments. The increase in video recording time was found to be associated with an increase in the information quality of the videos (p<0.05). Conclusion: The quality of Turkish video about ACL rehabilitation on YouTube is low. The preparation of videos by health professionals increases the quality of information. Before accepting information as absolute truth on YouTube, it is necessary to examine the quality level of information source.

Ön çapraz bağ rehabilitasyonu konulu Türkçe videoların bilgi kalitesi: YouTube örneği’nde kesitsel araştırma

Abstract

Amaç: Ön çapraz bağ (ÖÇB) yaralanmaları, spor yaralanmaları içerisinde en sık görülenlerdir. Hasta, ameliyat olsun ya da olmasın sportif rehabilitasyon ile tedavi edilmesi gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, YouTube’deki ÖÇB rehabilitasyonu konulu Türkçe video kalitelerini analiz etmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırma kapsamında seçilen anahtar kelimeler ile YouTube’de arama yapıldı. Videoların tanımlayıcı özellikleri kaydedildi. Videoların bilgi kalitesini değerlendirmek için; YouTube için modifiye edilmiş DISCERN ölçüm aracı, JAMA karşılaştırma skoru, YouTube ÖÇB’ye özel skor, Ulusal Tıp Merkezi Güvenirlik Kriterleri ve global kalite skoru kullanıldı. Bulgular: Videoların %57,4 (n=35)’ü hasta, %29,5 (n=18)’i doktor, %8,2 (n=5)’i fizyoterapist ve %4,9 (n=3)’u kişiye özel antrenör tarafından hazırlanmıştı. Videoların kümülatif izlenme sayısı 1786558 idi. Ortalama görüntüleme oranı 23,8±19,8; beğenme oranı 93,2±5,4 ve video güç indeksi 22,4±18,9 olarak hesaplandı. Videoların tanımlayıcı bilgilerinde meslek gruplarına göre fark tespit edilmedi (p>0,05). Ortalama DISCERN puanı 1,5±1,5; JAMA puanı 1,2±0,7; YouTube ÖÇB’ye özel skoru 3,8±4,4; Ulusal Tıp Merkezi Güvenirlik Kriterleri puanı 2,6±2,2 ve global kalite skoru 2,6±1,2 olarak belirlendi. Videoların bilgi kalitesi, meslek gruplarına göre fark oluşturdu (p<0,05). Video güç indeksi; videoların bilgi kalitesi ile zayıf düzeyde, yorum sayısı ile yüksek düzeyde pozitif yönlü ilişki gösterdi. Video kayıt süresinin artması, videoların bilgi kalitesinin artması ile ilişkili bulundu (p<0,05) Sonuç: YouTube’deki ÖÇB rehabilitasyonu konulu Türkçe videoların bilgi kaliteleri düşüktür. Videoların sağlık profesyonelleri tarafından hazırlanması bilgi kalitesini arttırmaktadır. YouTube’deki bilgiyi mutlak doğru olarak kabul etmeden önce bilgi kaynağının kalite seviyesinin incelenmesi gerekmektedir.
