Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, bruksizmin tanımı, etiyolojisi, tanısı ve tedavisi gibi konuları ele alan YouTube videolarının güvenilirliğini, kalitesini ve içeriğini değerlendirmektir.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: “Bruksizm”, “diş sıkma ve gıcırdatma” ve “çocuklarda bruksizm” anahtar kelimeleri kullanılarak bir YouTube araması yapıldı. YouTube videoları dört analiz tekniği kullanılarak incelendi: etkileşim indeksi, video içeriğinin kalite puanı, Küresel Kalite Ölçeği (GQS) ve DISCERN güvenilirlik analizi. İstatistiksel analizler IBM SPSS 25 kullanılarak yapıldı ve anlamlılık P < 0.05 düzeyinde belirlendi.
Bulgular: Taranan ilk 180 videodan 109'u analize dahil edildi. Videoların sıklıkla profesyonel kaynaklar tarafından üretildiği (% 90.8) gözlemlendi. Ancak, bireysel kaynaklardan yüklenen videoların ortalama etkileşim indeksi (2.07±0.93), hastaneler/kurumlar tarafından yüklenen videolardan (1.18±2.06) daha yüksekti. Bireysel kaynaklar tarafından yüklenen videolara olan ilgi yüksek olsa da, bu tür videoların güvenilirliği (1.00±0.94) hastane kurumları (1.53±1.05) ve diş hekimleri/sağlık profesyonelleri (1.63±0.66) tarafından yüklenen kaynaklardan daha düşüktü. >6 dakika süren videolar, ≤6 dakika süren videolardan daha yüksek bir DISCERN puanına sahiptir. Videolarda, etiyolojik faktörler olarak % 41,79 oranında psikolojik faktörlere, % 34,32 oranında sistemik rahatsızlıklara ve % 18,65 oranında maloklüzyona değinildi. Tedavi yöntemleri açısından ise okluzal splint uygulamaları (% 33,7) ve önleyici tedaviler (% 18,78) en yaygın bahsi geçen yaklaşımlar olarak öne çıktı.
Sonuç: Bruksizmle ilgili YouTube videolarının güvenilirliği ve kalitesi yetersizdir. Sağlık profesyonelleri, güvenilir ve kapsamlı videolar paylaşarak dijital platformların yararlılığını artırmalıdır.

Analysis of YouTube Videos on Bruxism in Children and Adults

Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to assess the reliability, quality, and content of YouTube videos that cover topics such as the definition, etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of bruxism.
Material and Methods: A YouTube search was conducted using the keywords “bruxism,” “teeth clenching and grinding,” and “bruxism in children.” YouTube videos were examined using four analysis techniques: interaction index, quality score of video content, Global Quality Scale (GQS), and DISCERN reliability analysis. Statistical analyses were performed using IBM SPSS 25, and significance was set at P< 0.05 level.
Results: Of the first 180 videos scanned, 109 were included in the analysis. We observed that videos were frequently produced by professional sources (90.8%). However, the mean interaction index of videos uploaded from individual sources (2.07±0.93) was higher than videos uploaded by hospitals/institutions (1.18±2.06). Although interest in videos uploaded by individual sources is high, the reliability of such videos (1.00±0.94) was lower than sources uploaded by hospital institutions (1.53±1.05) and dentists/health professionals (1.63±0.66). Videos with a duration of >6 min have a higher DISCERN score than those with a duration of ≤6 min. In the videos, 41.79% of the etiological factors were psychological factors, 34.32% were systemic disorders, and 18.65% were malocclusion. In terms of treatment methods, occlusal splint applications (33.7%) and preventive treatments (18.78%) were the most commonly mentioned approaches.
Conclusion: The reliability and quality of YouTube videos on bruxism are inadequate. Health professionals should increase the usefulness of digital platforms by sharing reliable and comprehensive videos.
