Evaluation of the quality and reliability of YouTube videos related to hallux rigidus

Year 2025, Volume: 8 Issue: 2, 228 - 231, 21.03.2025

Abstract

Aims: This study aims to evaluate the scientific accuracy, informational value, and content quality of YouTube videos about hallux rigidus, marking the first study to assess videos on this topic.
Methods: Two systematic searches were conducted by two orthopedic surgeons using the YouTube search bar with the keywords “hallux rigidus” and “hallux limitus.” Each video was evaluated based on the following features: title, content, source, duration (seconds), number of views, number of days since upload, view ratio (views/time since upload), number of likes, number of dislikes, like ratio (likes×100/likes+dislikes), and Video Power Index (VPI).
Results: A total of 50 videos meeting the inclusion criteria were evaluated. Among these, 39 (78%) were uploaded by healthcare professionals. Despite this, 25 videos (50%) were categorized as low quality according to the DISCERN score, and 33 videos (66%) were classified as low quality based on the YouTube hallux rigidus score. The DISCERN and JAMA scores demonstrated a statistically significant relationship with the video source (p<0.001). Videos created by physicians had significantly higher DISCERN and JAMA scores compared to those created by non-physician healthcare professionals (p=0.015, p=0.01). Similarly, videos by non-physician healthcare professionals scored significantly higher than those prepared by patients or for advertisement purposes (p=0.031, p=0.026). Additionally, videos uploaded more than three years ago had a significantly higher like rate compared to more recent videos (p<0.001).
Conclusion: The use of platforms such as YouTube for health-related information is increasing. However, the overall quality of videos about hallux rigidus remains low, underscoring the need for higher-quality content to better support public health outcomes.

Halluks Rijidus ile ilgili YouTube videolarının kalite ve güvenilirliğinin değerlendirilmesi

Year 2025, Volume: 8 Issue: 2, 228 - 231, 21.03.2025

Abstract

Giriş:
Halluks rigidus, ayak 1. metatarsofalangeal ekleminde ağrıya ve hareket kısıtlılığına neden olan, hastaların yaşam kalitesini önemli ölçüde bozan ilerleyici bir artrit türüdür(1-3). Sağlık bilgilerinin giderek dijitalleşmesiyle birlikte, YouTube gibi platformlar geniş kitlelere ulaşarak halk sağlığına katkıda bulunma konusunda önemli bir potansiyele sahiptir(1,2). Bununla birlikte, araştırmalar YouTube videolarındaki bilgi kalitesinin genellikle düşük yada orta düzeyde olduğunu ve sıklıkla hastaların sağlık kararlarını etkileyebilecek eksik veya yanıltıcı içerik içerdiğini göstermektedir (6,7) Bu çalışma, halluks rigidus hakkındaki YouTube videolarının bilimsel doğruluğunu, bilgi değerini ve içerik kalitesini değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır ve bu konudaki videoları değerlendiren ilk çalışmadır.
Yöntemler:
İki ortopedik cerrah tarafından YouTube arama çubuğu kullanılarak “hallux rigidus” ve “hallux limitus” anahtar kelimeleriyle iki sistematik arama yapılmıştır. Her video şu özelliklere göre değerlendirilmiştir: başlık, içerik, kaynak, süre (saniye), görüntüleme sayısı, yüklemeden bu yana geçen gün sayısı, görüntüleme oranı (görüntüleme/yüklemeden bu yana geçen süre), beğeni sayısı, beğenmeme sayısı, beğeni oranı (beğeni × 100 / [beğeni + beğenmeme]) ve Video Güç Endeksi (VPI).
Sonuçlar:
Dahil edilme kriterlerini karşılayan toplam 50 video değerlendirilmiştir. Bunların 39'u (%78) sağlık uzmanları tarafından yüklenmiştir. Buna rağmen, 25 video (%50) DISCERN skoruna göre, 33 video (%66) ise YouTube Hallux Rigidus skoruna göre düşük kaliteli olarak sınıflandırılmıştır.
DISCERN ve JAMA skorları video kaynağı ile istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki göstermiştir (p < 0.001). Doktorlar tarafından oluşturulan videoların DISCERN ve JAMA puanları, doktor olmayan sağlık çalışanları tarafından oluşturulanlara kıyasla anlamlı derecede daha yüksektir (p = 0.015, p = 0.01). Benzer şekilde, hekim olmayan sağlık çalışanları tarafından hazırlanan videolar, hastalar tarafından veya reklam amaçlı hazırlanan videolardan anlamlı derecede daha yüksek puan almıştır (p = 0.031, p = 0.026). Ayrıca, üç yıldan daha uzun bir süre önce yüklenen videoların beğenilme oranı daha yeni videolara kıyasla önemli ölçüde daha yüksektir (p < 0.001).
Sonuçlar:
Sağlıkla ilgili bilgiler için YouTube gibi platformların kullanımı artmaktadır. Ancak, halluks rigidus hakkında yer alan videoların genel kalitesi düşük kalmakta, bu durum halk sağlığına yönelik daha etkili sonuçlar elde edebilmek için daha yüksek kaliteli içeriğe duyulan ihtiyacı vurgulamaktadır.
Anahtar Kelimeler:
Halluks Rigidus; Halluks Limitus; YouTube; Video; Kalite.
