Allergic rhinitis is a very common chronic condition that affects nearly one-quarter of the adult population worldwide. The optimal management of allergic rhinitis includes useful information on several aspects of the condition. Social media and online platforms are increasingly being used to obtain health-related information.
The study aimed to evaluate and evaluate the popularity and usefulness of YouTube videos on allergic rhinitis.
Out of 225 screened videos, 86 met the inclusion criteria. A scoring scheme was designed to evaluate and rate the content of the extracted data. Data on views, likes, dislikes, and comments were extracted, and data on the source of uploader, duration, and content quality were recorded.
A total of 43% of the videos were classified as useful, 36% as misleading, and 21% as neither useful nor misleading. Although professional health care providers uploaded two-thirds of the videos, they accounted for only 24.4% of the total videos. Videos uploaded by television shows and YouTube channels had by far the most user interaction, accounting for 66.9% of the total likes, 66.8% of the total dislikes, and 54.0% of the total comments. This source alone accounted for 23.4% of the total views, but for 48% of the total misleading videos.
The usefulness of YouTube videos on allergic rhinitis is varying and less than half of the videos provided useful information. If the proper conditions are met, selected YouTube videos on allergic rhinitis can be used as a source of information for patient education.
过敏性鼻炎是一种非常常见的慢性疾病，影响着全球近四分之一的成年人。过敏性鼻炎的最佳管理包括对该疾病几个方面的有用信息。社交媒体和在线平台越来越多地被用于获取与健康相关的信息。
本研究旨在评估和评价关于过敏性鼻炎的 YouTube 视频的受欢迎程度和有用性。
在 225 个筛选出的视频中，有 86 个符合纳入标准。设计了一个评分方案来评估和评分提取数据的内容。提取了浏览量、点赞数、不喜欢数和评论数的数据，并记录了上传者来源、时长和内容质量的数据。
共有 43%的视频被归类为有用，36%的视频被归类为误导，21%的视频既不有用也不误导。尽管专业医疗保健提供者上传了三分之二的视频，但他们仅占总视频的 24.4%。电视节目和 YouTube 频道上传的视频拥有迄今为止最多的用户互动，占总点赞数的 66.9%，总不喜欢数的 66.8%，总评论数的 54.0%。仅这一来源就占总浏览量的 23.4%，但占总误导性视频的 48%。
关于过敏性鼻炎的 YouTube 视频的有用性是不同的，只有不到一半的视频提供了有用的信息。如果满足适当的条件，选择的关于过敏性鼻炎的 YouTube 视频可以作为患者教育的信息来源。
