Abstract

Automatic external defibrillators (AED) are life-saving devices whose prevalence is increasing day by day and are designed to be used easily by everyone. In this study, we evaluated the videos about AEDs on "YouTube" in terms of accuracy and compliance with the guidelines. AED videos on YouTube were evaluated based on the AED section of ILCOR 2015. While the videos were evaluated, the uploader, video duration, number of views, and who the AED was applied to were also recorded. Each video was evaluated by applying a score between 0-9 points. Three hundred videos were evaluated in this study. Of these, 215 were excluded from the study according to the exclusion criteria and 85 were included in the study. When these videos were evaluated, it was found that 36 of them were uploaded by private companies for educational purposes, the average number of views was 19836 (min. 7 – max. 254318) and the median duration was 5.46 seconds or minutes (min. 0.24 – max. 59.1). The highest number videos were uploaded in 2014 (17) and a mannequin was used for demonstration in 68 videos. Only 3 videos (3.5%) received full marks. It was observed that there was a significant relationship between the institution that uploaded the videos and the reliability of the views (p≤0.05). No correlation was found between reliability and the person to whom AED was applied, video duration and loading time (p=0.218, p=0.491 and p=0.324, respectively). As a result of our study, we saw that only 3 out of 85 published under the name 'automatic external defibrillator' on YouTube received full scores, and 23 videos received scores above the average score, therefore, YouTube does not appear to be a reliable source of education for AED.

Otomatik Eksternal Defibrilatör: İnternet Eğitimi Güvenilir Mi?

Abstract

Otomatik external defibrilatörler (AED) yaygınlığı her geçen gün artan ve herkes tarafından rahatlıkla kullanılabilmesi amacıyla tasarlanmış hayat kurtarıcı cihazlardır. Bu çalışmada, "YouTube" içeriğinde bulunan AED'lerle ilgili videoları doğruluk ve klavuzlara uygunluk açısından değerlendirdik. YouTube'daki AED videoları, ILCOR 2015'in AED bölümü esas alınarak değerlendirildi. Videolar değerlendirilirken, videonun yükleyicisi, video süresi, görüntülenme sayısı ve AED'nin kimin üzerinde uygulandığı da kaydedildi. Her bir video 0-9 puan arasında bir skor uygulanarak değerlendirildi. Bu çalışmada 300 video değerlendirildi. Bunlardan 215'i dışlama kriterlerine göre çalışma dışı bırakıldı ve 85'i çalışmaya dahil edildi. Bu videolar değerlendirildiğinde, 36'sının eğitim amaçlı özel şirketler tarafından yüklendiği, ortalama görüntülenme sayısının 19836 (min.-max. 7 - 254318) olduğu ve ortanca sürenin 5.46 dakika (min.-max. 0.24 - 59.1) olduğu bulundu. En fazla video 2014'te yüklenmişti (17) ve 68 videoda demonstrasyon için bir manken kullanılmıştı. Sadece 3 video (%3.5) tam puan aldı. Videoları yükleyen kurum ve görüntüleme ile güvenilirlik arasında anlamlı ilişki olduğu görüldü (p≤0.05). AED'nin uygulandığı kişi, video süresi ve yükleme zamanı ile güvenilirlik arasında bir korelasyon bulunmadı (sırasıyla p=0.218, p=0.491 ve p=0.324). Biz çalışmamız sonucunda YouTube’da ki ’automatic external defibrillator’ adı altında yayınlanan videoların sadece 3’ünün tam puan almış olduğunu, 23 videonun da ortalama puanın üzerinde puan aldığı için eğitim açısından çok da kullanışlı olmadığını gördük.
