Abstract

Objectives: YouTube is an important source of medical information for various medical topics and procedures. The purpose of the present study is to appraise the quality of medical information available on YouTube on the topic of peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) for chronic pain.

Materials and methods: A total of 53 videos were appraised by four individuals using three scales for appraisal: 1) the Modified DISCERN scale, 2) the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) Benchmark scoring, and 3) the Global Quality Scale. Descriptive characteristics and author type of each video were recorded. The mean scores of these scales among all four reviewers based on author type were calculated. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare mean scores of the three scales among author types, and post hoc pairwise Tukey's honestly significant difference test was used to evaluate for significant differences between mean scores. Furthermore, mean scale scores of videos above and below the total average-view count and total average "thumbs ups" were calculated and compared.

Results: Most videos (n = 31, 58.5%) were submitted from private practice. The mean Modified DISCERN and JAMA scores of videos by academic and society authors (M = 3.54 and 2.83, respectively) were significantly higher (p < 0.05) than the mean Modified DISCERN and JAMA scores of videos by private practice authors (M = 2.10 and 2.03, respectively). Interestingly, the mean scale scores of videos with above-average view counts were found to be lower than scores of videos with below-average view counts across all three scoring instruments.

Conclusions: YouTube videos on PNS stimulation for chronic pain are low to moderate in quality. Videos from academic sources were higher in quality than were private practice videos. Furthermore, videos with above-average view counts had lower mean scores on all three instruments, suggesting most of the viewership had watched lower-quality video content.

YouTube 作为外周神经刺激医学信息的来源。

目的：YouTube 是各种医疗主题和程序的重要医疗信息来源。本研究旨在评估 YouTube 上有关外周神经刺激（PNS）治疗慢性疼痛主题的医疗信息质量：共有 53 个视频由四人使用三种评估量表进行评估：1）改良 DISCERN 量表；2）《美国医学会杂志》（JAMA）基准评分；3）全球质量量表。每段视频的描述性特征和作者类型均有记录。根据作者类型计算所有四位审稿人在这些量表中的平均得分。采用单因素方差分析来比较不同作者类型的三个量表的平均得分，并采用事后配对 Tukey's 诚实显著性差异检验来评估平均得分之间的显著差异。此外，还计算并比较了高于和低于总平均观看次数和总平均 "竖起大拇指 "次数的视频的平均量表得分：大多数视频（n = 31，58.5%）来自私人诊所。学术作者和社会作者提交的视频的平均修正 DISCERN 分和 JAMA 分（M = 3.54 和 2.83，分别）明显高于私人医生提交的视频的平均修正 DISCERN 分和 JAMA 分（M = 2.10 和 2.03，分别）（p < 0.05）。有趣的是，在所有三种评分工具中，浏览量高于平均值的视频的平均量表得分均低于浏览量低于平均值的视频：结论：YouTube上有关PNS刺激治疗慢性疼痛的视频质量处于中下水平。来自学术界的视频质量高于私人诊所的视频。此外，浏览量高于平均值的视频在三项评分工具中的平均得分都较低，这表明大部分观众观看的视频内容质量较低。
