Objective In this study, we aimed to assess the effectiveness and quality of the YouTube videos for patients regarding the treatment of macular holes. Materials and methods The quality and effectiveness of the videos on macular hole treatment on YouTube were evaluated using the DISCERN, global quality score (GQS), Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), and usefulness index scoring systems. Results The median DISCERN score of 100 videos included in the study was 18 (range: 15-73), the median JAMA score was 3 (range: 0-4), the median global quality score was 1 (range: 1-5), and the median usefulness index score was 1 (range: 0-5). The JAMA scores of the videos uploaded by non-clinicians were found to be significantly lower than those of the videos uploaded by clinicians (p<0.001). However, the daily viewing rate and the number of comments and likes for the videos uploaded by non-clinicians were found to be significantly higher than those for the videos uploaded by clinicians (p<0.003). Conclusion Based on our findings, while all of the beneficial macular hole videos on YouTube were published by clinicians, the majority of them are not really helpful to patients.
目的 在本研究中,我们旨在评估YouTube上有关黄斑裂孔治疗的患者视频的有效性和质量。材料与方法 使用DISCERN、整体质量评分(GQS)、《美国医学会杂志》(JAMA)和有用性指数评分系统对YouTube上黄斑裂孔治疗视频的质量和有效性进行评估。结果 纳入研究的100个视频的DISCERN评分中位数为18(范围:15 - 73),JAMA评分中位数为3(范围:0 - 4),整体质量评分中位数为1(范围:1 - 5),有用性指数评分中位数为1(范围:0 - 5)。发现非临床医生上传的视频的JAMA评分显著低于临床医生上传的视频(p<0.001)。然而,发现非临床医生上传的视频的每日观看率以及评论和点赞数显著高于临床医生上传的视频(p<0.003)。结论 根据我们的研究结果,虽然YouTube上所有有益的黄斑裂孔视频均由临床医生发布,但其中大多数对患者并无实际帮助。
