The utilization of social media for health-related purposes has surged, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. TikTok, a short-form video platform, has seen substantial growth, becoming a prominent medium for health information dissemination. However, the lack of regulation poses challenges in evaluating the validity of TikTok content.
This cross-sectional study assesses TikTok videos related to total knee arthroplasty rehabilitation exercises. Search terms identified 84 videos, with 64 meeting the inclusion criteria. Engagement metrics and quality scores were analyzed, utilizing the DISCERN tool and the Total Knee Replacement Exercises Education Score.
The analyzed videos accumulated nearly 6 million views, with a median of 10,293.5 (interquartile range = 4139.3-26,100.0). Health-care professionals contributed 48% of the content. Despite higher engagement metrics for health-care professional videos, the overall quality, as indicated by DISCERN and Total Knee Replacement Exercises Education scores, remained poor. No videos achieved an "excellent" rating, with the majority categorized as "poor."
This study underscores TikTok's substantial role in total knee arthroplasty rehabilitation information dissemination but reveals a critical deficit in content quality and reliability. Health-care professionals marginally outperformed general users but displayed overall inadequacy. The study emphasizes the necessity for improving the quality of health-related content on emerging social media platforms, especially within the realm of orthopaedic surgery.
Level III, Cross-sectional study.
社交媒体在健康相关领域的应用激增，尤其是在新冠疫情期间。短视频平台TikTok发展迅速，已成为健康信息传播的重要媒介。然而，缺乏监管给评估TikTok内容的有效性带来了挑战。
这项横断面研究评估了与全膝关节置换术后康复锻炼相关的TikTok视频。通过搜索词确定了84个视频，其中64个符合纳入标准。利用DISCERN工具和全膝关节置换术锻炼教育评分对参与度指标和质量得分进行了分析。
分析的视频累计观看量近600万次，中位数为10293.5次（四分位间距=4139.3-26100.0次）。医疗保健专业人员贡献了48%的内容。尽管医疗保健专业人员发布的视频参与度指标较高，但根据DISCERN和全膝关节置换术锻炼教育评分显示，整体质量仍然较差。没有视频获得“优秀”评级，大多数被归类为“差”。
本研究强调了TikTok在全膝关节置换术康复信息传播中的重要作用，但也揭示了内容质量和可靠性方面的严重不足。医疗保健专业人员的表现略优于普通用户，但整体仍有欠缺。该研究强调了提高新兴社交媒体平台上健康相关内容质量的必要性，尤其是在骨科手术领域。
