Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the reliability and effectiveness of YouTube videos on retinal detachment.
Materials and Methods: A total of 85 videos were analyzed on YouTube using the search terms "retinal detachment", "retinal detachment symptom" and "retinal detachment symptoms and treatment". A total of 63 videos were included in the study. Finally, the quality and reliability of the videos included in the study were evaluated using the DISCERN score, the Global Quality Scale (GQS) and the JAMA score.
Results: The mean the DISCERN score was 55.8 ± 18.1, the JAMA score was 2.6 ± 1.4, and the GQS score was 3.7 ± 1.3 for a total of 63 videos analyzed. The total number of likes of the videos watched was 3090±1977, while the total number of dislikes was 50.2±40.6. The total duration of the videos was 392±93.1 seconds. The DISCERN, the JAMA and the GQS scores of videos uploaded by physicians were found to be statistically significantly higher than videos uploaded by YouTube health channels (p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, respectively).
Conclusion: The quality of videos on YouTube providing information about retinal detachment is adequate. Retinal detachment is an emergency. For this reason, these videos must be adequate and not misleading, as patients first consult YouTube instead of going to the emergency room or ophthalmologist. There is therefore a need for more videos uploaded by health professionals.

Giriş: Bu çalışmanın amacı retina dekolmanı ile ilgili YouTube videolarının güvenilirliğini ve etkinliğini değerlendirmektir.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: YouTube'da "retina dekolmanı", "retina dekolmanı semptomu" ve "retina dekolmanı semptomları ve tedavisi" arama terimleri kullanılarak toplam 85 video analiz edildi ve toplam 63 video çalışmaya dahil edildi. Son olarak, çalışmaya dahil edilen videoların kalitesi ve güvenilirliği DISCERN skoru, Global Kalite Ölçeği (GQS) ve JAMA skoru kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir.
Sonuçlar: Analiz edilen toplam 63 video için ortalama DISCERN puanı 55.8 ± 18.1, JAMA puanı 2.6 ± 1.4 ve GQS puanı 3.7 ± 1.3'tür. İzlenen videoların toplam beğeni sayısı 3090±1977 iken, toplam beğenmeme sayısı 50,2±40,6'dır. Videoların toplam süresi 392±93,1 saniyedir. Doktorlar tarafından yüklenen videoların DISCERN, JAMA ve GQS puanları YouTube sağlık kanalları tarafından yüklenen videolardan istatiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yüksek bulunmuştur (sırasıyla; p<0.001,p<0.001,p<0.001).
Sonuçlar: YouTube'da retina dekolmanı hakkında bilgi veren videoların kalitesi yeterlidir. Retina dekolmanı acil bir durumdur. Bu nedenle, hastalar acil servise veya göz doktoruna gitmek yerine ilk olarak YouTube'a başvurduklarından, bu videoların yeterli olması ve yanıltıcı olmaması gerekir. Bu nedenle sağlık profesyonelleri tarafından yüklenen daha fazla videoya ihtiyaç vardır.
