In the realm of healthcare, particularly after the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a rising trend of sharing videos on YouTube. The increased popularity of these videos among Internet users can be attributed to the captivating nature of visual and auditory data compared to written information.
This study aims to assess the content, accuracy, reliability, and quality of YouTube videos focusing on defibrillation applications-a critical component of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
On October 17, 2022, a video search was conducted using the keyword "defibrillation" on the YouTube platform, sorted in order of interest. Various parameters, including views, view rate, duration, comments, total likes and dislikes, target population, JAMA, DISCERN, and GQS scores, were recorded. In addition, content information was evaluated by Emergency Medicine specialists.
The average video duration was 263.95 seconds, with an average of 90,574.6 views, 587.4 likes, and 19.1 comments. The mean DISCERN score was 35.9 (poor), modified DISCERN score was 1.7, GQS score was 2.7, and JAMA score was 2. The mean score regarding the scope and detail of information in the videos was calculated as 6.1.
Deficiencies in the accuracy and reliability of Internet information were observed, mirroring the findings in our study. Supervision in this regard was often found to be inadequate. We advocate for the evaluation of video appropriateness before sharing on the Internet. We believe that platforms ensuring easy access to accurate information about crucial interventions such as CPR will significantly contribute to improving health literacy.
在医疗保健领域，尤其是在 COVID-19 大流行之后，在 YouTube 上分享视频的趋势日益上升。与书面信息相比，视觉和听觉数据更具吸引力，这使得这些视频在互联网用户中越来越受欢迎。
本研究旨在评估专注于除颤应用的 YouTube 视频的内容、准确性、可靠性和质量，除颤是心肺复苏术（CPR）的关键组成部分。
2022 年 10 月 17 日，在 YouTube 平台上使用“除颤”一词进行视频搜索，按兴趣排序。记录了各种参数，包括观看次数、观看率、时长、评论、总点赞和差评、目标人群、JAMA、DISCERN 和 GQS 评分等。此外，由急诊医学专家评估内容信息。
平均视频时长为 263.95 秒，平均观看次数为 90,574.6 次，点赞 587.4 次，评论 19.1 条。平均 DISCERN 评分为 35.9（差），修正后的 DISCERN 评分为 1.7，GQS 评分为 2.7，JAMA 评分为 2。视频信息的范围和详细程度的平均评分为 6.1。
观察到互联网信息的准确性和可靠性存在缺陷，这与我们的研究结果一致。在这方面的监督往往不足。我们主张在互联网上分享之前评估视频的适当性。我们认为，确保易于访问有关 CPR 等关键干预措施的准确信息的平台将对提高健康素养做出重大贡献。
