Halitosis is a common condition that adversely affects quality of life. Through YouTube, people access oral health information. This study aimed to analyze the quality and comprehensiveness of the content, and reliability of halitosis videos hosted on YouTube. In total, 300 videos were collected based on three search keywords, and the number of likes, dislikes, views, duration, interaction index, viewing rate, and source category. Subsequently, the video score, which represents the content quality and comprehensiveness was used to categorize videos as poor, good, and excellent. DISCERN score was used to assess video reliability. Of the 105 videos analyzed, 68 (64.8%) were uploaded by personal users. In general, videos were categorized as poor and have low reliability. Videos sourced from healthcare professionals showed the highest quality, comprehensiveness of the content, and reliability ( < 0.05). There was no difference in the number of viewers for video duration less than or more than 4 min ( > 0.05). YouTube users prefer low-quality videos over high-quality ones, indicating that viewers cannot differentiate between reliable and potentially biased content. It is critical to enable viewers to critically assimilate information hosted on YouTube to make effective oral healthcare decisions.
口臭是一种常见病症，会对生活质量产生不利影响。人们通过YouTube获取口腔健康信息。本研究旨在分析YouTube上有关口臭视频的内容质量、全面性以及可靠性。基于三个搜索关键词共收集了300个视频，并统计了点赞数、点踩数、观看次数、时长、互动指数、观看率和来源类别。随后，用代表内容质量和全面性的视频评分将视频分为差、好、优三类。采用DISCERN评分来评估视频的可靠性。在分析的105个视频中，68个（64.8%）由个人用户上传。总体而言，视频被归类为差且可靠性较低。来自医疗保健专业人员的视频在内容质量、全面性和可靠性方面表现最佳（<0.05）。视频时长少于或多于4分钟的观看次数没有差异（>0.05）。YouTube用户更喜欢低质量视频而非高质量视频，这表明观众无法区分可靠内容和可能有偏差的内容。使观众能够批判性地吸收YouTube上的信息以做出有效的口腔保健决策至关重要。
