Evaluation of Youtube videos in terms of educational content for tracheostomy care at home

Year 2025, Volume: 16 Issue: 1, 13 - 19, 25.03.2025

Abstract

Aim: While YouTube serves as an educational resource offering medical videos, the lack of strict regulations may lead to the dissemination of misleading information, posing risks for both healthcare providers and patients. Given the limited studies evaluating English-language videos on home tracheostomy care, this study aims to analyze the content and quality of available YouTube videos on standard tracheostomy care.
Material and Methods: A search was conducted on YouTube using the keywords “caring for your tracheostomy,” “home care tracheostomy patient,” and “tracheostomy care at home” to evaluate videos related to home tracheostomy care. Videos from the first 10 pages of search results for each keyword were analyzed. These videos were assessed in terms of relevance, source of upload, and content accuracy and currency.
Results: Video lengths [415 (256-542) vs. 321 (168-539)], comprehensiveness scores [80 (80-100) vs. 40 (20-60)], and total scores for tracheostomy care videos [15.00 (15.00-16.00) vs. 8.00 (4.00-11.00)] were found to be significantly higher for informative videos compared to misleading ones (p=0.043, p<0.001, and p<0.001, respectively).
Conclusion: Health-related videos on YouTube should undergo more rigorous evaluation, and there is a need to increase the availability of accurate and comprehensive content, especially those produced by healthcare professionals.

Evde trakeostomi bakımı için Youtube videolarının eğitim içeriği açısından değerlendirilmesi

Year 2025, Volume: 16 Issue: 1, 13 - 19, 25.03.2025

Abstract

Amaç: YouTube, tıbbi videolar sunan bir eğitim kaynağı olarak hizmet verse de, sıkı düzenlemelerin eksikliği, yanıltıcı bilgilerin yayılmasına yol açarak hem sağlık çalışanları hem de hastalar için risk oluşturabilir. Evde trakeostomi bakımıyla ilgili İngilizce videoları değerlendiren çalışmaların sınırlı olması nedeniyle, bu çalışma standart trakeostomi bakımı ile ilgili YouTube videolarının içerik ve kalitesini analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: YouTube'da evde trakeostomi bakımı ile ilgili videoları değerlendirmek amacıyla “caring for your tracheostomy,” “home care tracheostomy patient,” ve “tracheostomy care at home” anahtar kelimeleri kullanılarak arama yapılmıştır. Her bir anahtar kelime için arama sonuçlarının ilk 10 sayfasındaki videolar analiz edilmiştir. Bu videolar, uygunluk, yükleme kaynağı ve içerik güncelliği ile doğruluğu açısından değerlendirilmiştir
Bulgular: Video uzunlukları (415 (256-542) saniye- 321 (168-539) saniye), içerik kapsamlılık skor yüzdesi (80 (80-100)-40 (20-60)) ve trakeostomi bakımına yönelik videoların alabileceği maksimum puan 16 olup çalışmamızda videoların toplam puanları (15,00 (15,00-16,00)-8,00 (4,00-11,00)) faydalı videolar lehine yanıltıcı videolara göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yüksek bulunmuştur (sırasıyla p=0,043, p<0,001 ve p<0,001).
Sonuçlar: Bu çalışmada, trakeostomi bakımına yönelik sosyal medya videolarının bilimsel yeterliliği incelenmiştir. Analiz edilen 98 videodan %29,6’sının (29 video) bilgilendirici, %70,4’ünün (69 video) ise yanıltıcı olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu sonuç, sosyal medyada paylaşılan videoların büyük bir kısmının yetersiz içerik sunduğunu ve trakeostomi bakımı gibi hassas konularda bilginin doğruluğunu sağlama ihtiyacını ortaya koymaktadır.
