Abstract

This descriptive study aimed to determine the content, quality, and reliability of YouTube videos on breast cancer-related lymphedema exercises. A total of 127 videos were independently assessed, with 103 of them categorized as either informative or misleading content groups. The content (mean score: 4.07 ± 2.29) and quality (mean score: 3.15 ± 1.46) of videos concerning lymphedema exercises were moderate, while reliability (mean score: 2.27 ± 1.64) was low. Among the 103 videos categorized using the content checklist, Global Quality Scale, and DISCERN reliability instrument, 57.3% (n = 59) were informative, and 42.7% (n = 44) had misleading information. The mean scores of the content, quality, and reliability of the informative content videos were substantially higher than the misleading content videos, and of videos uploaded by universities/professional organizations/health care professionals/medical advertisements were higher than the videos uploaded by other sources. Through this study, the researchers have unveiled that the content and quality levels of YouTube videos in lymphedema exercises were moderate, and the reliability level was low.

YouTube 作为乳腺癌相关淋巴水肿锻炼的信息来源：内容、质量和可靠性分析。

这项描述性研究旨在确定 YouTube 上乳腺癌相关淋巴水肿锻炼视频的内容、质量和可靠性。共对 127 个视频进行了独立评估，其中 103 个视频被划分为信息内容组和误导内容组。淋巴水肿锻炼相关视频的内容（平均分：4.07 ± 2.29）和质量（平均分：3.15 ± 1.46）均为中等，而可靠性（平均分：2.27 ± 1.64）则较低。在使用内容核对表、总体质量量表和 DISCERN 可靠性工具对 103 个视频进行分类后发现，57.3%（n = 59）的视频具有信息性，42.7%（n = 44）的视频具有误导性。信息量大的视频在内容、质量和可靠性方面的平均得分都大大高于误导性内容的视频，而由大学/专业机构/医护人员/医疗广告上传的视频则高于其他来源上传的视频。通过这项研究，研究人员发现，YouTube 上淋巴水肿锻炼视频的内容和质量水平适中，可靠性水平较低。
