Abstract

YouTube videos about intramuscular injection with the Z technique were evaluated for content, quality and reliability. A search of YouTube was made on 13 November 2023 using the keywords of “Z technique” and “intramuscular injection”. 40 videos that fulfilled the inclusion criteria were assessed for usefulness using the Z Technique Intramuscular Injection Administration Checklist (ZIAC), reliability using the Quality Criteria for Consumer Health (DISCERN), and quality using the Global Quality Scale (GQS) scores. Most of the videos used in the study belonged to individual content producers. The videos were determined to be of medium quality, and reliability, but their usefulness was not at the desired level based on their ZIAC, DISCERN, and GQS scores (respectively; 16.92±2.72; 2.92±0.763; 3.03±0.77). Furthermore, the videos' usefulness (ZIAC), reliability (DISCERN), and quality (GQS) scores all showed a strong positive correlation. It was determined that the dorsogluteal region was preferred in 48.1% of the videos (n=13), and the region was determined correctly in 67.5% of the videos (n=27). To provide the most reliable information to healthcare professionals, particularly nurses, it is recommended that expert nurses and educators create qualified videos about the use of intramuscular injection with the Z technique and share them on YouTube.

Z Tekniği ile İntramüsküler Enjeksiyon Uygulama Konusunda Bilgi Kaynağı Olarak YouTube Videoları: İçerik, Kalite ve Güvenilirlik Analizi

Abstract

Z tekniği ile intramüsküler enjeksiyon uygulama konusundaki YouTube videoları, içerik, kalite ve güvenilirlik açısından değerlendirildi. 13 Kasım 2023 tarihinde “Z tekniği” ve “intramüsküler enjeksiyon” anahtar kelimeleri kullanılarak YouTube’da arama yapıldı. Dahil edilme kriterlerini karşılayan 40 videonun yararlılığı Z Tekniği ile İntramüsküler Enjeksiyon Uygulaması Kontrol Listesiyle (ZİUK), güvenilirliği Tüketici Sağlığı Bilgileri için Kalite Kriterleri (DISCERN) ve kalitesi Küresel Kalite Skalası (GQS) puanlarına göre değerlendirildi. Araştırmada kullanılan videoların çoğu bireysel içerik üreticilerine aitti. Videoların ZİUK, DISCERN ve GQS puanları dikkate alındığında orta düzey güvenirlik ve kalitede olduğu fakat yararlılıklarının istenilen düzeyde olmadığı belirlendi (sırasıyla; 16.92±2.72; 2.92±0.763; 3.03±0.77). Ayrıca videoların yararlılık (ZİUK), güvenirlik (DISCERN) ve kalite (GQS) skorlarının pozitif yönde güçlü korelasyona sahip olduğu saptandı. Videonun %48.1’inde (n=13) dorsogluteal bölgenin tercih edildiği ve videoların %67.5’inde (n=27) bölge tespitinin doğru yapıldığı belirlendi. Başta hemşireler olmak üzere sağlık profesyonellerine en güvenilir bilgileri sunabilmek için, alanında uzman hemşire ve eğitimcilerin Z tekniği ile intramüsküler enjeksiyon uygulamasına yönelik nitelikli videolar üretmeleri ve YouTube’da paylaşmaları önerilmektedir.
