Online resources such as YouTube® can serve as the go-to resource for patients and their caregivers after a life-changing diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. There is a need to analyze the content and educational value of these videos for patients with pancreatic cancer. The top 100 most viewed videos on pancreatic cancer on YouTube® were assessed and data were collected on various variables such as views, likes, dislikes, and comments. Videos categorized as patient educational videos were further analyzed for their content, source, and educational value. Videos uploaded by patients were the most discussed (p = 0.014) and liked (p = 0.0028) videos on YouTube®. The content of the videos (personal experience, advertisement, patient education, medical professional education, alternative treatments, and increased pancreatic cancer awareness) varied depending on the uploader (patients, healthcare providers, professional societies, media) of the videos (p = 0.0007). Patient education videos were poor in being comprehensive on their education of pancreatic cancer based on our rubric (mean score of 7.67 ± 2.63 of 20 possible points). The current study shows that the educational values of YouTube® videos related to pancreatic cancer remain limited. There is significant room for healthcare providers to use the platform to develop and share comprehensive videos that can be used as more effective sources of patient education.
诸如YouTube®之类的在线资源可以成为胰腺癌患者及其护理人员在面对改变人生的诊断结果后的首选资源。有必要分析这些视频对胰腺癌患者的内容和教育价值。对YouTube®上观看次数最多的100个胰腺癌相关视频进行了评估，并收集了关于观看次数、点赞数、点踩数和评论等各种变量的数据。对归类为患者教育视频的内容、来源和教育价值进行了进一步分析。患者上传的视频是YouTube®上讨论最多（p = 0.014）且点赞最多（p = 0.0028）的视频。视频的内容（个人经历、广告、患者教育、医学专业教育、替代疗法以及提高胰腺癌认知度）因视频上传者（患者、医疗保健提供者、专业协会、媒体）的不同而有所差异（p = 0.0007）。根据我们的评分标准，患者教育视频在胰腺癌教育的全面性方面表现不佳（在20分的总分中平均得分为7.67 ± 2.63分）。当前研究表明，YouTube®上与胰腺癌相关的视频的教育价值仍然有限。医疗保健提供者有很大空间利用该平台制作和分享全面的视频，这些视频可作为更有效的患者教育资源。
