Abstract

Purpose

The aim of this study was to evaluate the content, reliability and quality of YouTube videos on insulin pen injection in children.

Design and methods

This descriptive study examines 44 videos on YouTube that were searched with the keyword “insulin pen injection in children” and met the selection criteria. The content of the videos was assessed using the Insulin Pen Injection Application Control Form in Children, their reliability was assessed using the modified DISCERN tool and their quality was assessed using the Global Quality Scale (GQS).

Results

This study has determined that the average GQS assigned by evaluators is 3.81 ± 0.95 and the modified DISCERN score is 3.15 ± 1.43. The study showed that 75 % of the analyzed videos were useful, the GQS and modified DISCERN scores of the useful videos were statistically significantly higher than the useless videos, and there were significant differences in variables such as day, view ratio, duration (p < 0.05). In addition, it was determined that videos published by health institutions had higher GQS and modified DISCERN scores compared to independent publishers.

Conclusion

The evidence presented in this study suggests that videos published by health organizations are a more reliable and high-quality source.

Application to practice

The reliability and quality of YouTube content on insulin pen injection practices in children should be improved. In this context, it is recommended that nurses responsible for education and patient care take more responsibility in this regard.

YouTube视频是儿童胰岛素笔注射的可靠和高质量来源吗？

目的评价YouTube上儿童胰岛素笔注射相关视频的内容、可靠性和质量。设计与方法本描述性研究在YouTube上以关键词“儿童胰岛素笔注射”搜索并符合选择标准的44个视频。使用《儿童胰岛素笔注射应用控制表》对视频内容进行评估，使用改进的DISCERN工具对视频的可靠性进行评估，使用全球质量量表（GQS）对视频的质量进行评估。结果评定者的GQS评分平均值为3.81±0.95，修正后的DISCERN评分为3.15±1.43。研究表明，75%的分析视频是有用的，有用视频的GQS和修正辨别分数显著高于无用视频，并且在时间、观看率、持续时间等变量上存在显著差异(p <；0.05)。此外，与独立出版商相比，确定由卫生机构发布的视频具有更高的GQS和修改后的DISCERN分数。结论本研究提供的证据表明，卫生组织发布的视频是一个更可靠和高质量的来源。在儿童胰岛素笔注射过程中YouTube内容的可靠性和质量有待提高。在这种情况下，建议负责教育和病人护理的护士在这方面承担更多的责任。
