Abstract Aims To evaluate the understandability, actionability and quality of perioperative patient information conveyed by YouTube videos covering safety of elective surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods YouTube search strategy was optimised using a combination of “COVID”, “safety”, and “surgery” terms. Each video was screened by two independent reviewers. The search was conducted on 9 January 2021. The understandability and actionability of videos were evaluated using validated Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool (PEMAT). Quality of perioperative patient information was determined with a novel 4-point checklist based on recommendations by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. The effect of video type on PEMAT and quality scores was assessed with Kruskal-Wallis Test. Scores were correlated with video metrics using Spearman's Rank. Results The primary search revealed 594 videos. After deduplication and exclusions, 108 materials were analysed. Majority of videos (n = 89) originated from the USA, with only 4 produced in the UK. Hospital-produced videos had the highest understandability scores [median (IQR): 83.33% (18.40%)] and patient testimonies the lowest [55.91% (33.24%)] (p=0.002). Hospital materials were also most actionable [2.25 (2.40)], with news reports scoring lowest [0.0 (0.8)] (p=0.049). Social distancing, preoperative COVID-19 testing, and wearing face masks were mentioned in 46, 41, and 48 videos respectively. Only 9 materials recommended self-isolation before surgery. There was no significant correlation between video metrics (e.g., length) and scores. Conclusions Short UK-specific videos should be created to outline accurate patient instructions for elective surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic and provide reassurance to help reduce the surgical backlog.

BACKGROUND Online Health Information has become more important in terms of Pandemic. YouTube is an online platform that people broadly use as a search tool for health information. The quality and reliability of YouTube videos containing health information range from low to high according to literature. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the quality, reliability, and comprehensiveness of contents for YouTube videos in the Turkish language as a source of information for mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS This was a descriptive study. "Coronavirus Mental Health" was searched as a subject on the YouTube channel in the Turkish language on April 11th, 2020. The first 100 videos were taken into consideration. Two independent reviewers classified videos as useful or misleading. The inter-observer agreement was evaluated with the kappa coefficient. Modified DISCERN index for reliability and Global Quality Scale for quality were used. The content was evaluated with a checklist developed by the researchers. RESULTS The mean number of views was 1442.42±3042.49 for useful videos and 1044±1471.83 for misleading videos. The mean Global Quality Scale was 2.68±0.96 for useful videos and 1±0 for misleading videos. The mean DISCERN score was 2.8±1.09, 2.72±0.75, and 3.12±0.66 for shared by independent/professional users, government/news agencies, and universities/professional organizations respectively. CONCLUSIONS The quality and reliability level of mental health videos in the Turkish language for the COVID-19 pandemic was found out moderate. Moreover, the comprehensiveness of contents didn’t include enough detailed information in regards to protecting mental health. CLINICALTRIAL NA

Quality And Reliability

Abstract Introduction Social media has increasingly become the first point of reference for patients regarding medical information. This study assesses the quality and reliability of patient information available on YouTube regarding First-Aid for Burn Care. Methods Using Google Trends, “burn treatment” was identified as the most common term to likely be used to seek out information regarding first-aid treatment of burns. The terms “burn treatment” was searched on YouTube within Internet Explorer on September 18, 2019. Results were filtered by view count and the first 6 pages of results, top 120 videos were reviewed, excluding duplicates, non-English language videos, and videos unrelated to first-aid burn care. Videos were analyzed by two independent reviewers and descriptive statistics. Videos were also rated for information reliability and quality using both the Modified DISCERN (MD) tool (1 = low, 5 = high) and the Global Quality Scale (GQS) (1 = poor, 5 = excellent). Results Overall 67% of the videos were classified as informative with 15% constituting personal experience, the remainder of which were misleading. The physicians had a lower number of mean views per video at 140k compared to 210k from non experts. Physician group constituted 20.6% of all speakers in the video, with NP/PA constituting 2.9%. The GQS mean was 2, with physicians scoring slightly higher at 2.3, NP/PA scoring 3, and the remainder of the speakers scoring lowest at 1.8. The Modified discern score mean was 2.0. Conclusions Overall the burn care professionals inclusion physician, nursing and physician assistants constituted a minority of the speakers present. 76% were by other professionals who don’t deliver care inside the hospital setting. The physicians had lower number of views when compared to non experts. However, burn care professionals scored higher on the modified discern and the GQS compared to non-experts. The overall quality of all videos was low across the board with a modified discern of 2 out of 5. There is an opportunity to improve resources available to our patients from the burn care professional stand point to increase online presence. Applicability of Research to Practice The quality of videos reviewed was poor, and demonstrated an opportunity for improvement of resources available to our patients online.

Quality And Reliability

UNSTRUCTURED Introduction: Our aim is to assess the content quality and reliability of YouTube videos on bone tumors. Methods: We searched YouTube using the keyword “bone tumors,” and included in our study the first 50 videos listed. Two orthopedic surgeons analyzed the videos, and then, we examined them in terms of length, number of views and likes, and source. To evaluate their content quality, the Global Quality Score (GQS) (0–4), Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) (0–5), and DISCERN (15–75) scoring systems were used; based on these, the obtained data were statistically analyzed. Results: Of the 50 videos analyzed, four (8%) included animation, while 46 (92%) did not; 12 (24%) were uploaded by doctors, 23 (46%) by health channels, 10 (20%) by universities, three (6%) by clinics, and one (2%) each by a hospital and a trainer. The average video length was 16 minutes 18 seconds (38-6088 seconds), average number of views 14,856.24, and average number of likes 130.50 (1-1448). The mean scores of GQS, JAMA, and DISCERN were 2.22 (1-4), 2.12 (1-3), and 33.48 (15-75), respectively. There was no statistical significance in the scores and video length, or the number of likes and views between the two researchers. Discussion: YouTube videos on bone tumors have low content quality. Improvement of the same will help dispense correct information to patients, so that they can continue their treatment. We believe that patient treatment compliance can be increased by accelerating the patient’s preparation and adaptation process for treatment with accurate information.
