Abstract

Introduction

The world's population is in a demographic transition with a rising ageing population. Tooth loss is frequent among older people resulting in the replacement of natural teeth using complete or partial dentures. YouTube™ is the second most popular website in the world and is being increasingly used to access health care information. The aim of this study is to evaluate the usefulness and reliability of the information in YouTube™ videos regarding denture care.

Methods

The YouTube™ website was used to systematically search for videos using the keyword ‘denture care’. Videos meeting the eligibility criteria were assessed separately by two independent researchers. The usefulness of the videos was assessed using the Global Quality Assessment Scale and a customized usefulness scoring scheme. Based on these scores, the usefulness of the videos was categorized as low, medium and high. A modified DISCERN tool (mDISCERN) was used for assessing reliability with scores ranging from 0 to 5. Other video characteristics like source/ownership of the videos, duration, views, likes, dislikes, number of days posted, like ratio, view ratio, interaction index and Video Power Index were also obtained. Statistical analysis was carried out using the Kruskal-Wallis test, Spearman correlation test and multiple linear regression analysis.

Results

A total of 120 videos were included. Based on the usefulness score, the usefulness of 65.8% of videos were classified as low, 32.5% were medium and 1.6% had high usefulness. The mDISCERN score for 74.2% of videos was 2 or below 2 indicating that the majority of videos had low reliability. Video characteristics did not differ significantly according to the usefulness of videos. Videos uploaded by dentists or dental hygienists had significantly higher usefulness scores (p < 0.001) in comparison to videos uploaded by other sources. However, reliability scores did not differ based on the sources of the videos. Video reliability was found to have a significant (B = 2.08, p < 0.001) positive association with video usefulness.

Conclusion

YouTube™ cannot be recommended as the only source of information for denture care as most videos received low usefulness and reliability ratings in our study. Dentists and dental health professionals could take an active part in enhancing denture care-related content on YouTube™ and enable patients to have adequate and reliable knowledge of denture hygiene practices.

评估YouTube的有用性和可靠性™ 义齿护理视频。

引言：随着人口老龄化的加剧，世界人口正处于人口结构转型期。牙齿脱落在老年人中很常见，导致使用全口或部分义齿替换天然牙齿。YouTube™ 是世界上第二受欢迎的网站，并且越来越多地用于访问医疗保健信息。本研究的目的是评估YouTube中信息的有用性和可靠性™ 关于义齿护理的视频。方法：YouTube™ 该网站被用来系统地搜索视频使用关键字“义齿护理”。两名独立研究人员分别对符合资格标准的视频进行了评估。使用全球质量评估量表和定制的有用性评分方案对视频的有用性进行了评估。根据这些分数，视频的有用性分为低、中和高。使用改进的DISCERN工具（mDISCERN）评估可靠性，得分范围为0至5。还获得了其他视频特征，如视频的来源/所有权、持续时间、浏览量、喜欢、不喜欢、发布天数、喜欢比率、浏览比率、互动指数和视频力量指数。使用Kruskal-Wallis检验、Spearman相关检验和多元线性回归分析进行统计分析。结果：共纳入120个视频。根据有用性得分，65.8%的视频的有用性被归类为低有用性，32.5%的视频为中等有用性，1.6%的视频为高有用性。74.2%的视频的mDISCERN得分为2或低于2，表明大多数视频的可靠性较低。根据视频的有用性，视频特征没有显著差异。牙医或牙科保健师上传的视频有用性得分显著较高（p 结论：YouTube™ 不能推荐作为义齿护理的唯一信息来源，因为在我们的研究中，大多数视频的有用性和可靠性评级都很低。牙医和牙科健康专业人员可以积极参与加强YouTube上与义齿护理相关的内容™ 并使患者能够充分和可靠地了解义齿卫生实践。
