Abstract
OpenAI's machine learning-based ChatGPT implementation has become a trending topic in the first quarter of 2023. Comparative assessment of the health information provided by ChatGPT in Turkish with the health information provided in English is the purpose of this study. Comparison between English answer to English question and English translation of Turkish answer to Turkish question is made by five gastroenterology specialists for their comprehensiveness and accuracy. Turkish responses of ChatGPT were assessed as correct as English responses and less comprehensive but not evaluated as “inadequate”. It was found that ChatGPT could be used for online health information purposes in the Turkish language.

Abstract This study investigated the relationship between the use of China related names for COVID-19, a variety of COVID-19 information sources, and endorsement of conspiracy theory variables in the U.S. One hundred thirty-nine undergraduate students participated in an online survey in the U.S. Results indicated that the use of friends and families on social media and online, or former U.S. president Trump as a source of COVID-19 related information were the most important predictors of the level of endorsement of Chinese related conspiracy theory variables. Further, outgroup trust moderated the relationship between the use of Chinese related names for COVID-19 and endorsement of China related conspiracy theories.

Abstract The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides a website found at cdc.gov/alcohol to provide the public with information on the impact of excessive alcohol on health. The strategies provided on the website can help communities create an environment that discourages excessive alcohol consumption, reducing alcohol-related fatalities, costs, and other harm. The website provides fact sheets by state, quick alcohol self-assessments, and other online tools to support states and communities in the prevention of excessive drinking.

Abstract Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a disorder that can be fatal due to complications about which public knowledge is limited. YouTube, a very popular video site, can be used as a tool for learning about health issues as many videos are uploaded on the site and are viewed by large numbers. Cognizant of the power and potential of media to lead/mislead the audience, we aimed to investigate the utility and reliability of the information on OSA provided in YouTube videos. Queries of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Sleep Apnea were searched on YouTube. Three independent researchers classified and analyzed 151 videos by a customized scoring system along with likes, dislikes, total view time (min), and views/day. While educational [education (79%) and news (11%)] videos were encountered to be the highest, alternative medicine videos (2%) were to be the lowest. Average total quality score of education and news videos (10.8, for both) was the highest, and alternative medicine videos (5.7) was the lowest. ANOVA testing showed significant differences between all categories and likes (p < .001), dislikes (p = .012), daily views (p < .001), audio-visual quality (p = .028), comprehensiveness (p = .014), and content scores (p = .010). Most videos focused on otorhinolaryngology (51%) and surgery (31%). Likes (n:370.3) and daily views (n:56.7) of the alternative medicine videos were found to be the highest. Likes (n:31.7) and daily views (n:7.1) of the educational videos were observed to be the lowest. Although the number and quality of the educational videos were higher, the less viewing guided health professionals to increase the attractiveness of the videos’ contents.

Abstract The Teach-Back Method is a technique used by health care providers to non-shamingly verify patient understanding of for example, their diagnosis, medications, hospital stay, and discharge instructions. Informed patients may avoid a costly readmission to the hospital. The hospital library can be a resource center for tools on how and when to use the Teach-Back Method. In addition, the librarian can teach, or co-teach, this technique to health care team members. If the hospital librarian is involved in patient education or relationship-based care, they may indeed be practicing the Teach-Back Method during the patient’s stay or when the patient is discharged. This column describes the Teach-Back technique and gives examples of its use in patient discharge. It also features a successful example of a librarian being involved in teaching the Teach-Back Method.

Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the readability and reliability of online content related to cerebral palsy (CP) and to classify sites that contain quality and readable information. Method On April 30, 2022, the term “cerebral palsy” was searched on the Google search engine. The categories, quality, content, readability, Alexa rank values, and backlink numbers of the sites were analyzed. The Journal of American Medical Association score and HONcode seal were used for quality assessment, and the Flesch–Kincaid grade (FKG) and the Simple Measure of Gobbledygook (SMOG) were used for readability assessment. Results Of the 155 sites, 46 had high-quality content. The quality of health portal and scientific publishing sites appeared to be high. The top 10 sites were determined to be of significantly higher quality (p = .017) than the remaining sites. The average readability values of the sites were not at the recommended level. Conclusion Despite the abundance of information available on CP-related websites, most of them were not of high quality. Additionally, many websites did not reach the recommended readability levels. Revision of existing online content related to CP and production of new high-quality content in line with readability recommendations is urgently required.
摘要目的探讨脑瘫(CP)相关在线内容的可读性和可靠性,并对包含高质量和可读信息的网站进行分类。方法于2022年4月30日在谷歌搜索引擎上搜索“脑瘫”一词。分析了网站的类别、质量、内容、可读性、Alexa排名值和反向链接数。质量评价采用美国医学协会杂志评分和HONcode印章,可读性评价采用Flesch-Kincaid分级(FKG)和Simple Measure of Gobbledygook (SMOG)。结果155个网站中,46个网站内容优质。卫生门户网站和科学出版网站的质量似乎很高。前10个站点的质量明显高于其他站点(p = 0.017)。网站的平均可读性值没有达到建议的水平。结论尽管cp相关网站提供了大量的信息,但大多数信息质量不高。此外,许多网站没有达到推荐的可读性水平。迫切需要修订与CP相关的现有在线内容,并根据可读性建议制作新的高质量内容。
