To evaluate the accuracy and quality of Korean videos associated with restless legs syndrome (RLS) on YouTube.
A YouTube search was performed on April 1, 2020 using the term "restless legs syndrome" in the Korean language. Two reviewers coded the source, content, and demographics of the included videos. Video quality was assessed using the modified DISCERN (mDISCERN) instrument.
Among the 80 videos analyzed, 44 (55.0%) were reliable, and 36 (45.0%) were misleading. There was a trend toward a higher number of mean daily views in the misleading videos than in the reliable videos. Most of the misleading videos (72.2%) advocated complementary and alternative medicine as a primary treatment for RLS. Although the reliable videos had higher mDISCERN scores than the misleading videos, the overall quality of the reliable videos was low.
Many Korean videos regarding RLS on YouTube involve a risk of exposure to misinformation and are of unsatisfactory quality.
评估YouTube上与不宁腿综合征(RLS)相关的韩语视频的准确性和质量。
于2020年4月1日在YouTube上使用韩语术语“不宁腿综合征”进行搜索。两名评审员对纳入视频的来源、内容和人口统计学特征进行编码。使用改良的DISCERN(mDISCERN)工具评估视频质量。
在分析的80个视频中,44个(55.0%)可靠,36个(45.0%)具有误导性。具有误导性的视频的平均每日观看次数有高于可靠视频的趋势。大多数具有误导性的视频(72.2%)主张将补充和替代医学作为RLS的主要治疗方法。尽管可靠视频的mDISCERN评分高于具有误导性的视频,但可靠视频的整体质量较低。
YouTube上许多关于RLS的韩语视频存在接触错误信息的风险,且质量不尽人意。
