Journal Title: Europeanatolia Health Sciences Journal - Year 2023, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction:Endoscopic Ultrasonography (EUS) is a method used in the diagnosis and treatment of abdominal diseases. It is a fact that internet platforms such as Youtube are frequently preferred by internet users for medical information purposes.Objective: We aimed to investigate whether Turkish EUS videos on Youtube provide adequate andappropriate information sharing to the general population.Method: The terms "endoscopic ultrasonography" and "EUS" were entered in the YouTube search field. The first 60 videos with Turkish content ranked according to the frequency of views were examinedand after excluding 7 videos, a total of 53 videos were deemed suitable for final analysis. The EUS Data Quality Scale (EU-DQS), developed by us, and the Global Quality Scale (GQS), a validated scoring system, were used to assess the quality of the videos.Results:The total number of views of the videos was 245,819 and the average number of likes and dislikes were 26.7 and 1.2, respectively. 21 of the videos (39.6%) were uploaded by the endoscopist performing the procedure. The average EU-DQS score of thevideos was 8.5 out of 20. The average EU-DQS value of the videos shared by doctors was 11.0, while the average value of the videos shared on health websites was 5.0. The GQS distribution of the videos was as follows: poor quality -13 (24.5%); overall poor -14 (26.4%); moderate quality -17 (32.0%); good quality -5 (9.43%); excellent quality -4 (7.54%).Conclusion:The information quality of the videos uploaded to Youtube by endoscopists performing EUS procedure was found to be more successful than the videos uploaded by other individuals and organisations. Considering the benefit of EUS with its minimally invasive aspect, we think that specialised endoscopists should be more active in producing and uploading videos.
