Abstract

Background

The utilization of social media for health-related purposes has surged, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. TikTok, a short-form video platform, has seen substantial growth, becoming a prominent medium for health information dissemination. However, the lack of regulation poses challenges in evaluating the validity of TikTok content.

Methods

This cross-sectional study assesses TikTok videos related to total knee arthroplasty rehabilitation exercises. Search terms identified 84 videos, with 64 meeting the inclusion criteria. Engagement metrics and quality scores were analyzed, utilizing the DISCERN tool and the Total Knee Replacement Exercises Education Score.

Results

The analyzed videos accumulated nearly 6 million views, with a median of 10,293.5 (interquartile range = 4139.3-26,100.0). Health-care professionals contributed 48% of the content. Despite higher engagement metrics for health-care professional videos, the overall quality, as indicated by DISCERN and Total Knee Replacement Exercises Education scores, remained poor. No videos achieved an “excellent” rating, with the majority categorized as “poor.”

Conclusions

This study underscores TikTok’s substantial role in total knee arthroplasty rehabilitation information dissemination but reveals a critical deficit in content quality and reliability. Health-care professionals marginally outperformed general users but displayed overall inadequacy. The study emphasizes the necessity for improving the quality of health-related content on emerging social media platforms, especially within the realm of orthopaedic surgery.

Level of Evidence

Level III, Cross-sectional study.

评估社交媒体平台 TikTok 上全膝关节置换术康复训练的质量和可靠性

背景社交媒体在健康相关领域的使用激增，尤其是在 COVID-19 大流行期间。短视频平台 TikTok 增长迅速，已成为传播健康信息的重要媒介。本横断面研究评估了与全膝关节置换术康复锻炼相关的 TikTok 视频。通过搜索词确定了 84 个视频，其中 64 个符合纳入标准。利用DISCERN工具和全膝关节置换术锻炼教育评分对参与度指标和质量评分进行了分析。结果分析的视频累计观看次数近600万次，中位数为10293.5次（四分位间范围=4139.3-26100.0）。医护人员贡献了 48% 的内容。尽管医护人员视频的参与度指标较高，但从 DISCERN 和全膝关节置换运动教育评分来看，整体质量仍然较差。本研究强调了 TikTok 在全膝关节置换术康复信息传播中的重要作用，但也揭示了内容质量和可靠性方面的严重不足。医疗保健专业人员的使用率略高于普通用户，但总体表现不佳。该研究强调了提高新兴社交媒体平台上健康相关内容质量的必要性，尤其是在矫形外科领域。
