Abstract

Background and objectives: We evaluated the prevalence of potential reinforcement of common unhealthy misinterpretations of bodily sensations in social media (YouTube videos) addressing elbow enthesopathy (eECRB, enthesopathy of the extensor carpi radialis brevis, tennis elbow).

Methods: We recorded video metric data on 139 unique YouTube videos when searching "lateral epicondylitis" and "tennis elbow." We designed a rubric to assess the level of potential reinforcement of unhelpful thinking in videos about eECRB. Informational quality was scored with an adapted version of the DISCERN instrument. We then assessed the factors associated with these scores.

Results: Sixty-five percent (91 of 139) of videos contained information reinforcing at least one common misconception regarding eECRB. Potential reinforcement of misconceptions was associated with longer video duration, higher likes per day, and higher likes per view. No factors were associated with information quality scores.

Conclusions: These findings of a high prevalence of potential reinforcement of misconceptions in YouTube videos, in combination with the known associations of misconceptions with greater discomfort and incapability, point to the potential of such videos to harm health. Producers of patient facing health material can add avoidance of reinforcement of unhelpful thinking along with readability, accuracy, and relevance as a guiding principle.

YouTube 视频对健康误解的潜在强化：以肘关节内翻病（网球肘）为例。

背景和目的：我们评估了社交媒体（YouTube 视频）中针对肘关节粘连病（eECRB、桡侧外展肌粘连病、网球肘）的常见不健康身体感觉误读潜在强化的普遍性：搜索 "外侧上髁炎 "和 "网球肘 "时，我们记录了 139 个独特 YouTube 视频的视频度量数据。我们设计了一个评分标准，用于评估有关 eECRB 视频中无益思维的潜在强化程度。我们使用改编版的 DISCERN 工具对信息质量进行评分。然后，我们评估了与这些分数相关的因素：结果：65%的视频（139 个视频中的 91 个）包含强化了至少一种有关 eECRB 的常见误解的信息。误解的潜在强化与视频持续时间较长、每天点赞数较高和每次观看点赞数较高有关。没有任何因素与信息质量得分相关：这些研究结果表明，YouTube 视频中潜在的误解强化现象非常普遍，结合已知的误解与更大不适感和能力丧失的关联，表明此类视频可能会损害健康。面向患者的健康材料的制作者可以将避免强化无益的想法以及可读性、准确性和相关性作为指导原则。

期刊介绍： Quality Management in Health Care (QMHC) is a peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for our readers to explore the theoretical, technical, and strategic elements of health care quality management. The journal''s primary focus is on organizational structure and processes as these affect the quality of care and patient outcomes. In particular, it: -Builds knowledge about the application of statistical tools, control charts, benchmarking, and other devices used in the ongoing monitoring and evaluation of care and of patient outcomes; -Encourages research in and evaluation of the results of various organizational strategies designed to bring about quantifiable improvements in patient outcomes; -Fosters the application of quality management science to patient care processes and clinical decision-making; -Fosters cooperation and communication among health care providers, payers and regulators in their efforts to improve the quality of patient outcomes; -Explores links among the various clinical, technical, administrative, and managerial disciplines involved in patient care, as well as the role and responsibilities of organizational governance in ongoing quality management.
