如今,YouTube™已成为广泛使用的有关健康相关主题的信息资源。这项横断面研究旨在分析YouTube™视频在正颌手术中的内容和质量。
在我们的研究中,六个正颌手术相关关键词(LeFortI截骨术,矢状劈开截骨术,下颌手术,下颌矫正手术,正畸手术,和正颌手术)用于在YouTube™上搜索。只有英文的视频,具有视觉和听觉上可接受的质量,主要是关于正颌手术,是从视频中挑选出来的。共选取360个视频,每个搜索词的前60个视频,并根据视图计数进行排序。在这些视频中,分析了前60个视频。视频源(独立或教育),持续时间,查看次数,喜欢,每个视频都记录了不喜欢的东西。此外,两名公正的观察者评估了能见度,人气,质量,有用性,视频的可靠性。
60个视频中有41个是独立来源的,而其中19个是教育来源的。发现视频的信息内容不足。在受欢迎程度方面,独立视频和教育视频之间没有显着差异,可见性,视频的有用性和质量分析(p>0.05),但在可靠性值方面存在显着差异(p<0.05)。
可以说,从与正颌手术相关的内容和质量方面进行评估时,YouTube™视频并不是足够可靠和准确的信息来源。因此,专家和卫生机构提供的信息内容,特别是,应该增加数量,从而使患者容易获得更高质量的正颌手术信息。
YouTube™ has become a widely used resource of information about health-related topics nowadays. This cross-sectional study has aimed to analyze the content and quality of YouTube™ videos on orthognathic surgery.
In our study, six orthognathic surgery-related keywords (Le Fort I osteotomy, sagittal split osteotomy, jaw surgery, jaw correction surgery, orthodontic surgery, and orthognathic surgery) were used to search on YouTube™. Only the videos in English, which had visually and audibly acceptable quality and were mainly about orthognathic surgery, were chosen from the videos. A total of 360 videos were selected, the top 60 videos for each search term, and sorted according to view count. Of these videos, the first 60 videos were analyzed. Video source (independent or educational), duration, number of views, likes, and dislikes were recorded for each video. Moreover, two impartial observers evaluated the visibility, popularity, quality, usefulness, and reliability of the videos.
41 of 60 videos were of independent sources while 19 of them were of educational origin. Information content of the videos was found to be insufficient. No significant difference was determined between independent and educational videos in terms of popularity, visibility, usefulness and quality analysis of the videos (p > 0.05), but a significant difference was found in terms of reliability values (p < 0.05).
It can be said that YouTube™ videos were not a reliable and accurate enough source of information when evaluated in terms of orthognathic surgery-related content and quality. Therefore, the information content provided by specialists and health institutions, in particular, should be increased in number, thereby making access to better quality information on orthognathic surgery easy for patients.
