Abstract

BACKGROUND

Good oral hygiene is crucial for preventing dental caries and periodontal diseases. However, proper and regular application of oral hygiene practices requires adequate knowledge. In recent years, the internet has become one of the most popular places to find health-related information, necessitating studies that analyze the quality of the content available online. The purpose of the present study was to analyze the content quality and reliability of YouTube™ videos on the topic of adult oral hygiene practices and to guide oral health care professionals who use this platform for patient education.

METHODS

A YouTube™ search was performed of the most frequent search term, 'dental hygiene'. A total of 150 videos were screened, and 51 were included in the final study. The characteristics, sources, and content of the videos were analyzed using the Global Quality Score (GQS) and DISCERN reliability indices. The IBM SPSS 25 program was used for statistical analyses.

RESULTS

Most of the included videos were uploaded by oral health care professionals (63%). GQS revealed only 17.6% of the videos were excellent quality whereas 23.5% of them were poor quality. In the content analysis, 62.7% of the videos were deemed moderately useful. Video duration, total content score, and interaction indices were all significantly higher in the useful and very useful groups compared to the slightly useful group ( = 0.020, < 0.001, = 0.040). GQS had a positive, low-medium statistically significant correlation with both video duration and total content scores (r = 0.235, r = 0.517; < 0.05). DISCERN score also had a positive, low-medium statistically significant correlation with total content score (r = 0.500; < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

The study concluded that most YouTube™ videos on oral hygiene practices for adults are moderately useful. When using YouTube™ for patient education, oral health care professionals and organizations should be aware of low-quality videos and seek out accurate, useful videos. There is also a need for quality videos with expanded oral health content.

摘要

背景

良好的口腔卫生对于预防龋齿和牙周病至关重要。然而，适当且定期地应用口腔卫生措施需要充分的知识。近年来，互联网已成为获取健康相关信息最受欢迎的场所之一，这就需要研究分析互联网上可用内容的质量。本研究的目的是分析有关成人口腔卫生实践的 YouTube™视频的内容质量和可靠性，并为使用该平台进行患者教育的口腔卫生保健专业人员提供指导。

方法

在 YouTube™上搜索最常见的搜索词“口腔卫生”。共筛选了 150 个视频，最终有 51 个视频被纳入研究。使用全球质量评分（GQS）和 DISCERN 可靠性指数分析视频的特征、来源和内容。使用 IBM SPSS 25 程序进行统计分析。

结果

大多数纳入的视频由口腔卫生保健专业人员上传（63%）。GQS 显示，只有 17.6%的视频质量优秀，而 23.5%的视频质量较差。在内容分析中，62.7%的视频被认为是中等有用的。与稍微有用组相比，有用和非常有用组的视频时长、总内容评分和互动指数均显著更高（ = 0.020， < 0.001， = 0.040）。GQS 与视频时长和总内容评分呈正相关，具有低-中统计学意义（r = 0.235，r = 0.517； < 0.05）。DISCERN 评分与总内容评分也呈正相关，具有低-中统计学意义（r = 0.500； < 0.05）。
