Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı YouTube’da yayınlanan diyabetik bireylere yönelik aerobik egzersiz eğitimi videolarının kalite ve özelliklerini incelemekti.
Yöntem: YouTube web sitesinde “aerobic, exercise, diabetes” anahtar kelimesi kullanılarak video taramaları yapıldı. Güvenilirlik değerlendirmesi için modifiye edilmiş DISCERN ölçeği ve Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) kriterleri, kalite ve yararlılığının değerlendirmesi için ise Küresel Kalite Ölçeği (GQS) kullanıldı.
Bulgular: Çalışmada incelenen videoların (n=57) büyük kısmının (%64,9, n=37) sağlık dışı video kaynakları tarafından üretildiği görüldü. Sağlık profesyonellerinin ürettiği videoların sağlık dışı video üreticilerine ait videolara göre DISCERN puanları istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı fark göstermekle birlikte daha güvenilir olduğu bulundu (p<0,05). JAMA ve GQS kalite skorları ile değerlendirildiğinde ise istatistiksel açıdan fark olmadığı bulundu (sırasıyla; p=0,773; p=0,797).
Sonuç: Sağlık profesyonellerinin hazırlamış olduğu videoların daha kaliteli ve güvenilir olduğu açık bir şekilde ortaya konmuştur. YouTube’un diyabetik bireylere yönelik aerobik egzersiz eğitimi bilgi kaynağı olarak kalite ve güvenirliğinin artırılması için sağlık profesyonelleri tarafından üretilmiş daha çok sayıda, egzersiz çeşitliliği ve uygulamalı gösterimler ile zenginleştirilmiş video içeriğine ihtiyaç vardır.

Evaluation of the quality and content of YouTube videos as a source of aerobic exercise training for diabetic individuals

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the quality and characteristics of aerobic exercise training videos for diabetic individuals published on YouTube.
Methods: In this study, 57 videos were included by searching with the keywords "aerobics, exercise, diabetes". For the reliability assessment, the modified DISCERN scale and Journal o the American Medical Association (JAMA) criteria were used and for the quality and usefulness assessment, the Global Quality Scale (GQS) was used.
Results: It was observed that most of the videos (64.9%, n=37) we analyzed (n=57) were produced by non-health video sources in this study. Although DISCERN scores of videos produced by healthcare professionals showed a statistically significant difference compared to videos produced by non-health video producers, they were found to be more reliable (p<0.05). When evaluated with JAMA and GQS quality scores, there was no statistical difference (p=0.773; p=0.797, respectively).
Conclusion: It was demonstrated that videos produced by health professionals were of higher quality and more reliable. In order to increase the quality and reliability of YouTube as a source of aerobic exercise training information for diabetic individuals, there is a need for more video content produced by health professionals, enriched with exercise variety and practical demonstrations.
