Abstract

Aim: In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the quality of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) surgery videos published on YouTube.
Material and Method: A search was made by entering the keywords ‘percutaneous nephrolithotomy' in the youtube search engine. Video quality was measured using the Journal of the American Medical Association Benchmark Score (JAMAS), Global Quality Score (GQS) and modified DISCERN score. Two reviewers developed the PCNL Specific Score (PCNLSS) to estimate the technical quality for every stages of surgery. Video power index (VPI) was used to determine video popularity.
Results: One hundred and thirteen videos had the inclusion criteria were counted in the study. The median VPI, JAMAS, modified DISCERN, GQS and PCNLSS scores were 3.01, 1, 2, 2 and 4, respectively. Videos with audio narration had significantly higher VPI, JAMAS, modified DISCERN, GQS and PCNLSS scores (p=0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001 respectively). Videos with english subtitle had higher JAMAS, modified DISCERN, GQS and PCNLSS scores than videos with no subtitle (p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001 respectively). Academical videos had higher VPI, JAMAS, modified DISCERN, GQS and PCNLSS scores than the videos published by urologists (p=0.004, p<0.001, p=0.001, p=0.001, p=0.006 respectively).
Conclusion: In this study, it was seen that the quality of PCNL videos published on social media was insufficient. It should be accepted that social media is frequently used as a source of information today. For this reason, health care professionals should take initiatives through social media to inform patients more accurately.

Sosyal Medyadaki Perkütan Nefrolitotomi Ameliyatı Videoları Kaliteli Bilgi Sağlıyor mu?

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada YouTube'da yayınlanan perkütan nefrolitotomi (PCNL) cerrahisi videolarının kalitesinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Youtube arama motoruna perkütan nefrolitotomi anahtar kelimeleri girilerek arama yapıldı. Video kalitesi, Journal of the American Medical Association Benchmark Score (JAMAS), Global Quality Score (GQS) ve modifiye DISCERN skoru kullanılarak ölçüldü. İki ürolog, ameliyatın her aşaması için teknik kaliteyi değerlendirmek için PCNL Spesifik Skorunu (PCNLSS) geliştirdi. Video popülerliğini belirlemek için video güç indeksi (VPI) kullanıldı.
Bulgular: Dahil edilme kriterlerine karşılayan 113 video çalışmaya dahil edildi. Medyan VPI, JAMAS, modifiye DISCERN, GQS ve PCNLSS skorları sırasıyla 3.01, 1, 2, 2 ve 4 idi. Sesli anlatıma sahip videoların VPI, JAMAS, modifiye DISCERN, GQS ve PCNLSS puanları anlamlı olarak daha yüksekti (sırasıyla p=0,001, p<0,001, p<0,001, p<0,001, p<0,001). İngilizce altyazılı videolar altyazısız videolardan daha yüksek JAMAS, modifiye DISCERN, GQS ve PCNLSS puanlarına sahipti (sırasıyla p<0,001, p<0,001, p<0,001, p<0,001). Akademik videolar, ürologlar tarafından yayınlanan videolardan daha yüksek VPI, JAMAS, modifiye DISCERN, GQS ve PCNLSS puanlarına sahipti (sırasıyla p=0,004, p<0,001, p=0,001, p=0,001, p=0,006).
Sonuç: Bu çalışma sosyal medyada yayınlanan PCNL videolarının kalitesinin yetersiz olduğu göstermiştir. Günümüzde sosyal medyanın bilgi kaynağı olarak sıklıkla kullanıldığı kabul edilmelidir. Bu nedenle sağlık profesyonelleri, hastaları daha doğru bilgilendirmek için sosyal medya üzerinden girişimlerde bulunmalıdır.
