Abstract

Objective: Youtube is one of the most popular video-sharing websites and can be a powerful tool for disseminating health information. The number and use of Youtube videos in the medical field is increasing, so there is a need to research its educational value. We examined dialysis catheter application videos' characteristics, usefulness, and scientific accuracy. Methods: We performed a Youtube search with the keywords of "dialysis catheter" without selecting any filter in the English language in April 2022. The content of the videos, video sources, type of catheter mentioned in the video, presence of animation, and the accuracy of the information was evaluated. mDISCERN score was also determined to clarify the power of the accuracy. Results: The evaluation showed that the number of videos with accurate information was 171 (83.4%) with a significantly higher mDISCERN score (2.85±0.59). Among the targeted videos, the mDISCERN score of the videos uploaded by healthcare professionals and the official institution was significantly higher. The average usefulness score was 1.96±0.23, and there was no significant difference between the sources. Conclusions: It would be more appropriate to present the videos selected in terms of education and reliability under a sub-title such as "YouTube Medical Education" for use by medical professionals.

Diyaliz Kateter Uygulamasında Youtube Videolarının Eğitimsel Değeri

Abstract

Amaç: Youtube, en popüler video paylaşım sitelerinden biridir ve sağlık bilgilerini yaymak için güçlü bir araç olabilir. Medikal alanda Youtube videolarının sayısı ve kullanımı giderek artmakta olup bu nedenle eğitici değerini araştırma ihtiyacı doğmuştur. Diyaliz kateter uygulama videolarının özelliklerini, kullanışlılığını ve bilimsel doğruluğunu inceledik.
Yöntemler: Nisan 2022'de İngilizce dilinde herhangi bir filtre seçmeden "diyaliz kateteri" anahtar kelimeleri ile Youtube araması yaptık. Videoların içeriği, video kaynakları, videoda bahsedilen kateter tipi, animasyon varlığı ve bilgilerin doğruluğu değerlendirildi. Doğruluğun gücünü netleştirmek için mDISCERN skoru da belirlendi.
Bulgular: Değerlendirme, doğru bilgi içeren video sayısının 171 (%83,4) olduğunu ve mDISCERN puanının (2,85±0,59) anlamlı derecede yüksek olduğunu gösterdi. Hedeflenen videolar arasında sağlık çalışanları ve resmi kurum tarafından yüklenen videoların mDISCERN puanı anlamlı olarak daha yüksek çıktı. Ortalama kullanışlılık puanı 1,96±0,23 idi ve kaynaklar arasında anlamlı bir fark yoktu.
Sonuç: Eğitim ve güvenilirlik açısından seçilen videoların "YouTube Tıp Eğitimi" gibi bir alt başlık altında tıp profesyonellerinin kullanımına sunulması daha uygun olacaktır.
