Abstract:
Due to the lengthy and challenging nature of traumatic brain injury (TBI) rehabilitation, patients and carers increasingly rely on YouTube for information. However, no previous research has assessed the quality and reliability of these TBI rehabilitation videos on this platform. This study aims to assess the quality and reliability of YouTube videos on TBI rehabilitation. In this cross-sectional study, a YouTube search with the keyword \"traumatic brain injury rehabilitation\" was performed, and the first 100 videos were listed according to relevancy. After applying exclusion criteria, a total of 72 videos were included in the analysis. DISCERN, Journal of the American Medical Association, and Global Quality Score were used to evaluate the quality and reliability of the videos. Video characteristics, including the number of likes, dislikes, duration, and source of upload, were recorded. The mean DISCERN total score was determined to be 39.56 ± 8.4. Additionally, the mean Journal of the American Medical Association score was 1.93 ± 0.57, the Global Quality Score was 2.6 ± 0.81, and the DISCERN quality score was 2.55 ± 0.79. Analysis showed that videos with a longer duration (P < .001) and those uploaded earlier (P = .002) were more likely to be of higher quality. Videos produced by healthcare professionals had higher DISCERN scores (P = .049) than those uploaded by non-healthcare professionals. Examination of YouTube videos on TBI rehabilitation indicates a moderate overall quality. The study revealed that videos uploaded by healthcare professionals have higher quality. For obtaining reliable information on TBI rehabilitation, it is also advisable to prioritize videos with longer durations and earlier upload dates. Given the significant role of social media platforms in educational outreach for rehabilitation, it is crucial to enhance the quality of these videos through appropriate measures.
摘要:
由于创伤性脑损伤(TBI)康复的漫长而具有挑战性,患者和护理人员越来越依赖YouTube获取信息。然而,之前没有研究评估过该平台上这些TBI康复视频的质量和可靠性.本研究旨在评估YouTube视频对TBI康复的质量和可靠性。在这项横断面研究中,进行了以“创伤性脑损伤康复”为关键字的YouTube搜索,根据相关性列出了前100个视频。应用排除标准后,共有72个视频被纳入分析.DISCERN,美国医学协会杂志,和全球质量评分用于评估视频的质量和可靠性。视频特征,包括喜欢的数量,不喜欢,持续时间,和上传源,被记录下来。平均DISCERN总分确定为39.56±8.4。此外,《美国医学会杂志》的平均评分为1.93±0.57,全球质量评分为2.6±0.81,DISCERN质量评分为2.55±0.79.分析表明,持续时间较长的视频(P<.001)和较早上传的视频(P=.002)更有可能具有更高的质量。医疗保健专业人员制作的视频比非医疗保健专业人员上传的视频具有更高的DISCERN分数(P=.049)。对YouTube视频进行TBI康复检查表明总体质量中等。研究表明,医疗保健专业人员上传的视频质量更高。为了获得有关TBI康复的可靠信息,还建议优先考虑持续时间较长和上传日期较早的视频。鉴于社交媒体平台在康复教育推广中的重要作用,通过适当措施提高这些视频的质量至关重要。
