背景:在线健康相关信息已变得越来越流行。社交媒体平台在支持和改变患者观点方面具有巨大潜力。足底筋膜炎(PF)是常见的疾病,是足部疾病中最常见的研究对象之一。本研究旨在评估内容,与PF相关的YouTube视频的质量和可靠性,并评估它们是否反映了当前的PF治疗指南。
方法:描述性横断面研究分析了使用关键字“足底筋膜炎”检索到的观看次数最多的79个YouTube视频。质量,使用全球质量量表(GQS)分析视频的可靠性和内容,修改后的免责声明,JAMA和内容评分系统由两名独立的物理治疗师组成。根据他们的GQS得分高,将分析的视频分为三组,中等和低质量。此外,视频参数在有用和误导组之间进行了比较。
结果:在分析的79个视频中,26个(32.9%)质量低,中等质量29例(36.7%),高质量24例(30.3%)。大多数高质量的视频是由专职医疗专业人员上传的(39.4%)。患者的观看比率和视频功率指数得分最高。有用的和误导性的视频在DISCERN方面存在显著差异,GQS和JAMA评分(分别为p=0.000,p=0.000,p=0.020)。几乎所有评估的视频都包含至少一种治疗方法。
结论:这项研究表明,绝大多数关于PF的YouTube视频是有用和全面的,此外,我们的结果可能表明,绝大多数视频反映了当前的治疗指南.关于PF的基于视频的信息可以为患者提供有价值的见解,特别是在没有直接接触医疗保健利益相关者的情况下。
BACKGROUND: Online health-related information has become increasingly popular. Social media platforms have great potential to support and change patients\' perspective. Plantar fasciitis (PF) is a common disease that is one of the most frequently researched subjects among foot problems. This study aimed to assess the content, quality, and reliability of YouTube videos related to PF and to evaluate whether they reflect current PF treatment
guidelines.
METHODS: The descriptive cross-sectional study analyzed the most viewed 79 YouTube videos retrieved by using the keyword \"plantar fasciitis.\" The quality, reliability, and content of the videos were analyzed using Global Quality Scale (GQS), the modified DISCERN instrument, the Journal of the American Medical Association instrument, and a content scoring system by two independent physiotherapists. The analyzed videos were divided into three groups according to their GQS score as high, intermediate, and low quality. Also, video parameters were compared between the useful and misleading groups.
RESULTS: Of the 79 analyzed videos, 26 (32.9%) were of low quality, 29 (36.7%) were of intermediate quality, and 24 were of (30.3%) high quality. Most high-quality videos were uploaded by allied health professionals (39.4%). The view ratio and video power index scores were highest in patients. There were significant differences between useful and misleading videos in terms of DISCERN, GQS, and Journal of the American Medical Association scores (P = .000, P = .000, and P = .020, respectively). Almost all of the evaluated videos contain at least one treatment approach.
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that the vast of majority of YouTube videos on PF are useful and comprehensive; also, our results may lead us to propose that the vast majority of the videos reflect current treatment
guidelines. Video-based information about PF may provide valuable insight to patients, especially in the absence of direct access to health care by stakeholders.
