A Comprehensive Examination of YouTube Videos: Quality and Content Analysis of Occupational Therapy on Executive Functions in Children

Öz

Aim: The scope of this research was to examinate the content analysis, quality level and credibility of occupational therapy videos on YouTube about executive functioning in the children. 
Method: The research was carried out on YouTube worldwide using the keyword "pediatric occupational therapy executive functioning" with all categories filters applied. The first 200 videos were evaluated for relevance, and 35 of them were reviewed by two independent experts. The Video Power Index (VPI) was utilized to identify the video trend, the Global Quality Score (GQS) for video quality assessment Modified Discern Scoring (Mdiscern), and the JAMA Scoring System for video reliability assessment. 
Results: Of the 35 videos analyzed, it was founded that 57.1% were uploaded by public healthcare institutions, while 42.9% were uploaded by independent therapists. Recordings posted by independent practitioners scored significantly higher on both the Mdiscern and JAMA scores (p=0.003 and p=0.002, respectively). However, no statistically significant group differences emerged for the VPI and the GQS (p>0.05).
Conclusion: This study highlights improvement of the quality level and credibility of online media health shares for the children through the availability of information about YouTube videos related to childhood executive functioning, a critical area of occupational therapy practice.
