Materials and Methods: It was searched in the search bar on YouTubeTM on 29 August 2022 using the keyword 'chemotherapy side effects'. 55 videos between 0-20 min were evaluated simultaneously by 3 independent experts using the Quality Criteria for Consumer Health Information (DISCERN) scale and the Global Quality Scale (GQS). Results: The three most common uploader profiles were physician, patient and health-related website. The most of contents of the videos consisted of general chemotherapy and side effects, patient experiences. The DISCERN score average was 56, and the GQS was 3.00. When the scores of the video uploaders were compared, it was found that there was no significant difference between the scores of DISCERN (p=0.245) and GQS (p=0.647). There was a significant difference between the groups in the video duration, the number of likes and comments, and the rate of comments (p=0.001, 0.049, 0.004, 0.003, respectively). Conclusion: As a result, the quality of the information in the videos is good and the educational value is moderate. It has been determined that the videos uploaded by the patients are watched more, receive more likes and are viewed more frequently. KW - cancer KW - chemotherapy side effect KW - e-health KW - patient KW - YouTube N2 - Amaç: Bu araştırma ülke örnekleminde Kemoterapinin Yan etkilerinin anlatıldığı YouTube videolarının içeriği, niceliği ve güvenirliğini değerlendirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntem: YouTube'da 29 Ağustos 2022 tarihinde arama çubuğuna ‘kemoterapinin yan etkileri’ anahtar kelimesi kullanılarak taranmıştır. Sıralama kriteri olarak “Alaka Tabanlı Sıralama” uygulanmıştır. Kemoterapi yan etkileri ile ilgili olmayan, Türkçe dışındaki diller, sesi olmayan, tekrarlı ve 20 dakikadan uzun videolar değerlendirmeye alınmadı(n=23). 0-20 dakika arasındaki videolar incelendi. 0-20 dakika arasındaki 55 video Tüketici Sağlığı Bilgileri için Kalite Kriterleri Ölçeği (Quality Criteria for Consumer Health Information -DISCERN) ve Global Quality Scale (GQS) kullanılarak 3 ayrı bağımsız uzman tarafından eş zamanlı değerlendirilmiştir.Bulgular: En yaygın üç yükleyici profilin doktor, hasta ve sağlıkla ilgili web siteleri olduğu belirlendi. Videoların içeriklerinin büyük bir kısmını kemoterapi ve yan etkiler, hasta deneyimleri oluşturdu. DISCERN puan ortalaması 56, GQS ise 3.00 olarak belirlenmiştir. Video yükleyiciler ile puanlar karşılaştırıldığında DISCERN (p=0.245), GQS (p=0.647) olup puanları arasında anlamlı fark olmadığı saptandı. Video süresi, beğenilme ve yorum sayısı, yorum oranında gruplar arasında anlamlı fark saptandı (sırasıyla p=0.001, 0.049, 0.004, 0.003). Sonuç: Sonuç olarak videolardaki bilgilerin kalitesinin iyi, eğitimsel değerinin orta düzeyde olduğu; hastalar tarafından yüklenen videoların daha fazla izlenildiği, daha çok beğeni aldığı ve daha sık görüntülendiği belirlenmiştir.
