Abstract

BACKGROUND

Osteoporosis is currently considered the most common bone disease in the world and is characterized by low bone mass, deterioration of the bone tissue microstructure, and decreased bone strength. With the increasing popularity of smartphones and short videos, many patients search for various types of health information through social media, such as short videos. As one of China's short video giants, TikTok has played a significant role in spreading health information. We found that there are many videos about osteoporosis on TikTok; however, the quality of these short videos has not yet been evaluated.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the information quality of osteoporosis videos on the domestic TikTok platform.

METHODS

We retrieved and screened 100 videos about osteoporosis from TikTok, extracted the basic information, encoded the video content, and recorded the source of each video. Two independent raters evaluated the information quality of each video via the DISCERN rating scale.

RESULT

The videos were divided into three groups according to their source: medical personnel, science communicators, and news media, with medical personnel posting the most videos. The content of the video is divided into 7 groups, namely, disease prevention, disease diagnosis, disease symptoms, disease overview, life-style, drug knowledge, and drug treatment, with the most videos related to disease overview. The average DISCERN score of the videos is 37.69 (SD = 6.78), mainly within the 'poor' (54/100, 54%) and 'appropriate' (43/100, 43%) rating ranges, with overall quality being low. Further analysis revealed a positive correlation between the number of shares, comments, likes, and favorites, and a positive correlation between the DISCERN score and the number of shares and favorites.

CONCLUSION

The overall quality of videos concerning osteoporosis on TikTok is lower, but the quality of videos varies significantly across different sources. We should be selective and cautious when watching videos about osteoporosis on TikTok.

摘要

背景

骨质疏松症目前被认为是世界上最常见的骨骼疾病，其特征是骨量低、骨组织微结构恶化以及骨强度降低。随着智能手机和短视频的普及，许多患者通过社交媒体（如短视频）搜索各种健康信息。作为中国短视频巨头之一，TikTok 在传播健康信息方面发挥了重要作用。我们发现 TikTok 上有许多关于骨质疏松症的视频；然而，这些短视频的质量尚未得到评估。

目的

本研究旨在评估国内 TikTok 平台上关于骨质疏松症的视频信息质量。

方法

我们从 TikTok 上检索和筛选了 100 个关于骨质疏松症的视频，提取了基本信息，对视频内容进行编码，并记录了每个视频的来源。两名独立的评估者使用 DISCERN 评分量表评估每个视频的信息质量。

结果

根据来源，视频分为医务人员、科学传播者和新闻媒体三组，医务人员发布的视频最多。视频内容分为疾病预防、疾病诊断、疾病症状、疾病概述、生活方式、药物知识和药物治疗七组，疾病概述的视频最多。视频的平均 DISCERN 得分为 37.69（SD=6.78），主要处于“差”（54/100，54%）和“适当”（43/100，43%）评分范围内，整体质量较低。进一步分析表明，分享、评论、点赞和收藏的数量与 DISCERN 评分呈正相关，分享和收藏的数量与 DISCERN 评分呈正相关。
