Abstract

Background: Many patients and family caregivers have informational needs, especially regarding gastrostomy care and home gastrostomy tube feeding. YouTube is a potential accessible option for educational resources concerning these topics.

Methods: This study aimed to explore the educational quality and content of informational YouTube videos. We used "gastrostomy," "G-tube," "enteral feeding," and "enteral nutrition," as search keywords on YouTube on October 3, 2021. A total of 229 videos were evaluated using the global quality scale (GQS) and modified DISCERN scoring system. Variables extracted from the videos included general features, video parameters, and content themes.

Results: The GQS and modified DISCERN scores were 3.31 ± 0.90 and 2.63 ± 1.23, respectively. There were educational quality and differences among videos uploaded by various agencies. Frequent video content themes included "cleaning and dressing a gastrostomy tube," "bolus method," and "replacing a balloon-type of gastrostomy tube."

Conclusion: Results showed that YouTube can be a supplemental educational resource for people requiring gastrostomy care and for their caregivers. However, given the open-access nature of YouTube, healthcare professionals' guidance is needed for video selection. Healthcare professionals should know and use specific, reliable resources to effectively guide and educate patients with gastrostomy and their caregivers, enhancing their self-management skills and knowledge.

将YouTube作为胃造瘘管喂养患者及其家庭护理人员的学习平台：横断面研究。

背景：许多患者和家庭护理人员都有信息需求，尤其是关于胃造口护理和家庭胃造口管喂养的信息。YouTube是获取这些主题教育资源的潜在途径：本研究旨在探索 YouTube 信息视频的教育质量和内容。我们使用 "胃造口"、"G 管"、"肠内喂养 "和 "肠内营养 "作为 2021 年 10 月 3 日 YouTube 上的搜索关键词。我们使用总体质量量表（GQS）和改良的 DISCERN 评分系统对总共 229 个视频进行了评估。从视频中提取的变量包括一般特征、视频参数和内容主题：全球质量量表（GQS）和修正的 DISCERN 评分分别为 3.31 ± 0.90 和 2.63 ± 1.23。不同机构上传的视频存在教育质量和差异。经常出现的视频内容主题包括 "胃造瘘管的清洁和包扎"、"栓剂法 "和 "更换气囊型胃造瘘管"：结果表明，对于需要胃造口护理的人及其护理人员来说，YouTube 可以作为一种补充教育资源。然而，鉴于 YouTube 的开放性，医护人员在选择视频时需要得到指导。医护人员应了解并使用具体、可靠的资源，有效地指导和教育胃造口患者及其护理人员，提高他们的自我管理技能和知识。
