Abstract

Objective: The aim of the study was to compare the quality and reliability of Turkish web pages and YouTube videos prepared for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis information. Another aim of the study was to compare whether internet pages and YouTube videos contain some features related to conservative treatment (brace and exercise).
Material and Methods: A total of 46 Turkish digital contents related to adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (23 web pages and 23 YouTube videos) were included in the study. The quality of digital content was measured according to the general quality score and reliability of the Journal of American Medical Association benchmark criteria.
Results: The general quality scores (p=0.540) and Journal of American Medical Association benchmark scores (p=0.591) of the Turkish websites and the YouTube videos related to adolescent idiopathic scoliosis were similar. However, the reliability and educational quality of Turkish websites and videos on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis were insufficient.
Conclusion: Although the Turkish website and YouTube videos on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis contain valuable information, their quality and reliability need to be increased. Video and web pages are not advantageous compared to each other in terms of educational quality. Additionally, videos and websites should include more information about the conservative treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

Bana Skolyozu Anlatır mısın? Adölesan İdiopatik Skolyoz Konulu Türkçe İnternet Sayfaları ve Youtube Videolarının Kalite, Güvenilirlik ve Konservatif Tedavi İçeriklerinin Karşılaştırılması

Abstract

Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı adölesan idiopatik skolyoz bilgilendirmesi için hazırlanmış Türkçe internet sayfaları ve YouTube videolarının kalite ve güvenilirliğini karşılaştırmaktı. İnternet sayfaları ile Youtube videolarının konservatif tedavi (korse ve egzersiz) içeriklerinin karşılaştırılması çalışmanın bir diğer amacıydı.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Adölesan idiyopatik skolyoz ile ilgili toplam 46 Türkçe dijital içerik (23 web sayfası ve 23 YouTube videosu) çalışmaya alındı. Dijital içeriklerin kalitesi genel kalite skoru ve güvenilirlikleri Amerikan Tabipler Birliği Dergisi karşılaştırma kriterlerine göre ölçüldü.
Bulgular: Adölesan idiopatik skolyoz ile ilişkili Türkçe internet sayfaları ile Youtube videolarının genel kalite skorları (p=0,540) ve Amerikan Tabipler Birliği karşılaştırma skorları (p=0,591) benzerdi. Bununla birlikte adölesan idiopatik skolyoz ile ilgili Türkçe internet sayfalarının ve videolarnın güvenilirlikleri ve eğitsel kaliteleri yetersizdi.
Sonuç: Adölesan idiopatik skolyoz konulu Türkçe internet sayfa ve YouTube videoları değerli bilgiler içermesine rağmen kalite ve güvenilirliklerinin arttırılması gerekmektedir. Video ve internet sayfaları eğitsel kalite açısından birbirine göre avantajlı değildir. Ayrıca video ve internet sayfalarının adölesan idiopatik skolyozun konservatif tedavisi ile ilgili bilgilere daha çok yer vermesi gerekmektedir.
