Abstract

YouTube is the third most popular app in the world and continues to grow each year while it reaches over 2 billion users a month. A variety of veterinary topics are addressed on YouTube but to date there have been no studies analysing misinformation of various canine cancer topics on YouTube or social media. This study described the characteristics of 99 unique videos and used the validated DISCERN quality criteria for consumer health information and the Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool (PEMAT) to characterize their usefulness. The overall median DISCERN quality score was 3 (out of 5), the median PEMAT understandability score was 72%, and 61% of videos contained little to no misinformation. 53% of videos were created by veterinarians and this subset had significantly higher PEMAT understandability and DISCERN quality scores compared with client-created content (p = .0228 and p ≤ .0001, respectively). Videos with little to no misinformation had statistically significant higher DISCERN quality scores (3 vs. 2, p = .0001). There was no statistical significance between misinformation levels and video length, PEMAT understandability, thumbs up/view, or views/mo. These data reveal similar rates of misinformation in videos on canine cancer compared to that reported for various human cancer topics. This study highlights the need for veterinarians to guide clients to more reliable and understandable information regarding their pet's health.

YouTube 上传播犬类癌症错误信息的特点。
YouTube 是全球第三大最流行的应用程序,并且每年都在持续增长,每月用户数量超过 20 亿。YouTube 上涉及各种兽医话题,但迄今为止还没有研究分析 YouTube 或社交媒体上有关各种犬类癌症话题的错误信息。本研究描述了 99 个独特视频的特征,并使用经过验证的消费者健康信息 DISCERN 质量标准和患者教育材料评估工具 (PEMAT) 来描述这些视频的实用性。DISCERN 质量评分的总体中位数为 3 分(满分 5 分),PEMAT 可理解性评分的中位数为 72%,61% 的视频几乎不包含错误信息。53%的视频由兽医制作,与客户制作的内容相比,这部分视频的PEMAT可理解性和DISCERN质量得分明显更高(分别为p = .0228和p ≤ .0001)。在统计意义上,几乎没有错误信息的视频的 DISCERN 质量得分更高(3 对 2,p = .0001)。错误信息水平与视频长度、PEMAT 可理解性、竖起大拇指/观看次数或观看次数/月之间没有统计学意义。这些数据表明,犬类癌症视频中的错误信息率与各种人类癌症主题视频中的错误信息率相似。这项研究强调,兽医需要引导客户获得更可靠、更易懂的宠物健康信息。

期刊介绍: Veterinary and Comparative Oncology (VCO) is an international, peer-reviewed journal integrating clinical and scientific information from a variety of related disciplines and from worldwide sources for all veterinary oncologists and cancer researchers concerned with aetiology, diagnosis and clinical course of cancer in domestic animals and its prevention. With the ultimate aim of diminishing suffering from cancer, the journal supports the transfer of knowledge in all aspects of veterinary oncology, from the application of new laboratory technology to cancer prevention, early detection, diagnosis and therapy. In addition to original articles, the journal publishes solicited editorials, review articles, commentary, correspondence and abstracts from the published literature. Accordingly, studies describing laboratory work performed exclusively in purpose-bred domestic animals (e.g. dogs, cats, horses) will not be considered.
