Current treatment approach aims to achieve greater efficacy with fewer side effects, by targeted cancer therapy as much as possible. Radionuclide therapy is a modality that uses cancer theranostics and is increasingly applied for various cancers as a targeted therapy. YouTube is a preferred tool for obtaining medical information from the internet. This study aims to determine the content quality, level of interaction and usefulness as education material of radionuclide therapy YouTube videos and to reveal the impact of the COVID-19 process on these parameters.
The keywords were searched on YouTube on August 25, 2018, and May 10, 2021. After removing duplicate and excluded videos, all remaining videos were scored and coded.
Majority of the videos were useful educational material. Most of them were high quality. Popularity markers were unrelated to quality level. After COVID, the power index of videos with high JAMA scores increased. The COVID-19 pandemic did not have a negative effect on video features; the quality of the content increased even more after the pandemic.
Radionuclide therapy YouTube videos have high-quality content and provide useful education material. The popularity is independent of the content quality. During the pandemic, video quality and usefulness characteristics did not change, while the visibility is increased. We consider YouTube to be an appropriate educational material for patients and healthcare professionals to gain basic knowledge of radionuclide therapy. The Covıd-19 pandemic highlighted the power of radionuclide therapy YouTube videos as an educational material.
当前的治疗方法旨在通过尽可能采用靶向癌症治疗，以更少的副作用实现更高的疗效。放射性核素治疗是一种利用癌症诊疗技术的治疗方式，越来越多地作为靶向治疗应用于各种癌症。YouTube是从互联网获取医学信息的首选工具。本研究旨在确定放射性核素治疗YouTube视频的内容质量、互动水平和作为教育材料的有用性，并揭示COVID-19疫情对这些参数的影响。
于2018年8月25日和2021年5月10日在YouTube上搜索关键词。在去除重复和排除的视频后，对所有剩余视频进行评分和编码。
大多数视频是有用的教育材料。其中大多数质量较高。受欢迎程度指标与质量水平无关。疫情后，JAMA评分高的视频的影响力指数有所增加。COVID-19大流行对视频特征没有负面影响；疫情后内容质量甚至进一步提高。
放射性核素治疗YouTube视频具有高质量的内容，并提供有用的教育材料。受欢迎程度与内容质量无关。在疫情期间，视频质量和有用性特征没有改变，而可见性有所提高。我们认为YouTube是患者和医疗保健专业人员获取放射性核素治疗基础知识的合适教育材料。COVID-19大流行凸显了放射性核素治疗YouTube视频作为教育材料的影响力。
