Abstract

Oncologic breast reconstruction (OBR) is a complex process that requires consideration of multiple factors, including chemoradiation, extent of cancer treatment, and surgical approach. Patients often feel uncertain about the numerous surgical options and may turn to popular social media platforms like YouTube for information. Thus, this study aims to assess the quality and reliability of YouTube videos related to OBR.

We conducted a retrospective, cross-sectional analysis of YouTube videos related to OBR. Search terms were obtained from plasticsurgery.org and Google Trends. The first ten videos for each search term were analyzed. Videos were categorized by source and subject matter and independently reviewed by three evaluators using the DISCERN scale.

This study examined 172 YouTube videos. Five video source categories were identified: Health Care Administrations, Physicians, Non-physician Providers, News Organizations, and Patients. Health Care Administration accounts received the highest overall DISCERN score of 3.6 ± 0.51, followed by Physicians at 2.98 ± 0.93, with News Organization accounts scoring the lowest at 2.22 ± 0.60 (p < 0.001). Videos from academic sources (Physicians and Health Care Administrators) had higher DISCERN scores compared to non-academic sources (News Organizations and Patients), 2.98 ± 0.95 versus 2.28 ± 0.77, respectively (p < 0.001).

Our findings indicate that videos from academic sources generally exhibit higher DISCERN scores, pointing to a higher content quality and reliability standard. Given the increasing reliance on YouTube for healthcare information, our study underscores the need for healthcare professionals to engage more actively in content creation and dissemination.

评估 youtube 上肿瘤乳房重建视频的质量和可靠性

肿瘤乳房重建（OBR）是一个复杂的过程，需要考虑多种因素，包括化疗、癌症治疗程度和手术方法。患者往往对众多的手术方案感到不确定，可能会求助于 YouTube 等流行的社交媒体平台来获取信息。因此，本研究旨在评估YouTube上与OBR相关视频的质量和可靠性。我们对YouTube上与OBR相关的视频进行了回顾性横断面分析。搜索词来自 plasticsurgery.org 和 Google Trends。我们对每个搜索词的前十个视频进行了分析。视频按照来源和主题进行分类，并由三位评估者使用 DISCERN 量表进行独立审查。确定了五个视频来源类别：本研究共检查了 172 个 YouTube 视频来源类别：医疗保健管理机构、医生、非医生提供者、新闻机构和患者。医疗保健管理机构账户的 DISCERN 总得分最高，为 3.6 ± 0.51，其次是医生账户，为 2.98 ± 0.93，新闻机构账户得分最低，为 2.22 ± 0.60（p < 0.001）。与非学术来源（新闻机构和患者）相比，学术来源（医生和医疗管理人员）的视频具有更高的 DISCERN 分数，分别为 2.98 ± 0.95 对 2.28 ± 0.77（p < 0.001）。鉴于人们越来越依赖 YouTube 获取医疗保健信息，我们的研究强调了医疗保健专业人员更积极地参与内容创建和传播的必要性。
