Background Rosacea is an inflammatory skin disease that is chronic in nature. In addition to the physical symptoms, there are substantial quality of life issues that patients with rosacea experience, largely due to the visible nature in which rosacea manifests. Objective The purpose of this study was to describe the content related to rosacea in highly viewed English- and Spanish-language videos on YouTube. Methods We coded identifying information for each video and categories including characteristics of rosacea, clinical solutions, and alternative solutions. The 100 YouTube videos examined were viewed 18.5 million times between 2006 and 2020, and 57.3% (10,652,665/18,592,742) of these views were of consumer videos. Results Videos posted by consumers more often promoted or were trying to sell a product or procedure (32/55, 58% of consumers vs 10/31, 32% of medical professionals and 4/14, 29% of television, internet, news, or entertainment sources; P=.03) and more frequently mentioned the use of makeup or other ways to cover up rosacea (30/55, 55% of consumers vs 6/31, 19% of medical professionals and 2/14, 14% of television, internet, news, or entertainment sources; P<.001). Videos sourced from medical professionals more often mentioned medication (17/31, 55%) than videos uploaded by consumers (14/55, 25%) or TV, internet, news, or entertainment sources (3/14, 21%) (P=.01). Conclusions Given that rosacea is experienced differently for each person, consumer advice that works for one individual may not work for another. There is a need for reliable videos on rosacea to emphasize this and clarify misconceptions.

Abstract Background: A chronic wound is one that has failed to proceed through the normal phases of wound healing in an orderly manner. Chronic wounds are a common problem around the world. They can be distressing to the patients causing physical, social and emotional damage such as decreased activities of daily living, pain, discomfort, unpleasant odor, and insomnia. Wellbeing, quality of life and satisfaction of these patients with chronic wounds can be impaired by a complex set of aspects. The purpose of this article is to describe the impact of chronic wounds on the wellbeing, quality of life and satisfaction of Omani patients with chronic wounds. Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study of 275 patients with chronic wounds attending three tertiary care hospitals in Muscat city, Sultanate of Oman. Adult patients of 18 years and above with wounds of duration of more than 4weeks were chosen by consecutive non-probability sampling. A pre-tested, semi-structured self-reported questionnaire was provided to each patient to complete. Data was analysed using SPSS IBM version 23.Results: The average age of the patients was 47.13±16.917 and the majority of them (64.7%) were males. Most of them (29.1%) had diabetic ulcers and 45.8% of them presented with mildly severe wounds based on Bates-Jensen wound assessment scale. Patients with chronic wounds reported a poor wellbeing scores (M=10.47, SD= 1.813), moderate quality of life (M=5.22, SD= 2.388) and satisfaction scores (M=6.89, SD= 2.388). Significant mean differences were reported with age, gender, educational level, and type of wound at p<.05 levels.Conclusion: These findings demonstrated that chronic wounds could influence the wellbeing, quality of life and overall satisfaction with the quality of life of patients suffering with it. These results also suggest a need to pay increased attention by the healthcare providers to the patients suffering from chronic wounds on the aspects of wellbeing and quality of life along with treating the physical symptoms.

Youtube Videos

Background: YouTube is currently the second most popular website in the world, with over 1 billion hours watched each day. Unlike peer-reviewed journals, there is no process to ensure the quality of YouTube videos that cover medical and treatment information, which could lead to patient misinformation. Objective: We set out to use the DISCERN instrument, which has previously been used in studies to assess the quality of consumer health information regarding treatment choices, to systematically evaluate the quality of the information. Methods: A YouTube search was performed on April 12, 2020, using the keyword “psoriasis treatments.” Since 90% of YouTube users do not view past the first 30 videos, only the first 30 results were selected. Non-English videos, advertisements, and videos that were too specific for the search criteria entered were excluded. Results: The average total DISCERN score was 38.3, which categorizes the videos overall as “poor” quality of content. There was a statistically significant difference in total DISCERN scores between the videos created by patients and those created by hospital/physician sources ( P < .015), with hospital-/physician-made videos scoring higher. However, regardless of the source of the video, there were still significant shortcomings in all the videos assessed. Conclusion: We feel we have a responsibility and an opportunity as a specialty to provide high-quality information, with a specific focus on the areas identified by the DISCERN tool as lacking, to help guide patients on evidence-based therapeutic options.

Educational Videos

BACKGROUND YouTube is a popular platform with many videos, which have potential educational value for medical students. Due to the lack of peer review, other surrogates are necessary to determine the content quality of such educational videos. Few studies have analyzed the research background or academic affiliation of the physicians associated with the production of YouTube videos for medical education. The research background or academic affiliations of those physicians may be a reflection of the content quality of these educational videos. OBJECTIVE This study identifies physicians associated with the production of educational YouTube videos about shingles and analyzes those physicians based on their research background or academic affiliation, which may be good surrogates for video content quality. METHODS Using the YouTube search engine with default settings, the term “shingles” was searched on May 8, 2020. A cross-sectional study was performed using the first 50 search results. A search on Scopus for each identified physician was performed, and data regarding their research background and academic affiliation were recorded. RESULTS Of the 50 YouTube videos, 35 (70%) were categorized as academic. Of the 35 academic videos, 24 (71%) videos featured physicians, totaling 25 physicians overall. Out of these 25 physicians, 5 (20%) had at least 1 shingles-related publication and 8 (32%) had an h-index &gt;10. A total of 21 (84%) physicians held an academic affiliation. CONCLUSIONS These results ensure to a certain degree the quality of the content in academic videos on YouTube for medical education. However, further evaluation is needed for this growing platform.

When patients die relatives and healthcare professionals may appreciate the quality of the dying phase differently, but comparisons are rare. In a cross-sectional study (June 2009–July 2012) the experiences of bereaved relatives, physicians, and nurses concerning the quality of dying in a large Dutch university hospital were compared, and the relation to communication was explored. Measurements were concordance on the quality of dying (QOD) (0–10 scale), awareness of impending death, and end-of-life communication. Results. Data on all three perspectives were available for 200 patients. Concordance in general was poor. Relatives’ scores for QOD (median 7; IQR 5–8) were lower than physicians and nurses’ (both median 7; IQR 6–8) (P=0.002). 48% of the relatives, 77% of the physicians, and 73% of the nurses had been aware of impending death. Physicians more often reported to have informed patients and relatives of end-of-life issues than relatives reported. When both physicians and relatives reported about such discussion, relatives’ awareness of impending death and presence at the patient’s deathbed were more likely. Conclusion. Relatives, physicians, and nurses seem to have their “own truth” about the dying phase. Professionals should put more emphasis on the collaboration with relatives and on verification of relative’s understanding.
