Three experts reviewed the item pool for face validity. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's alpha. Test-retest reliability was estimated using Pearson correlation coefficients (r), Intraclass Correlation Coefficients (ICC) and paired sample t-tests. Further test-retest reliability assessed the degree of change in responses in a subset of subjects from time 1 to time 2 (one month apart) for each item on the scale. <b>Results</b>: From the pool, 16 items were assessed for applicability to the propensity construct. Factor Analysis identified four components and were labelled as purchase involvement, self-efficacy, awareness of care needed during self-medication, and the therapeutic usefulness of OTC medicines. The internal consistency of the 16-item scale was sufficient; overall alpha was 0.9 and each construct had an alpha of 0.7 to 0.8. Test-retest reliability coefficients (r) for the four components were reassuring, ranging from 0.4 to 0.5, while the ICC values ranged from 0.5 to 0.7. A paired sample t-test showed no statistically significant difference in the rating at the two iterations for each of the constructs, thereby suggesting good reliability of the data. Over 50% of respondents did not change their original response to the 7-point scales (strongly disagree (1) to strongly agree (7)) for 9 out of 16 items.

Antimicrobial resistance continues to advance, threatening public health and safety. TikTok, a popular social media platform, provides an avenue for providers to educate patients on clinical topics and medication use. As leaders in patient education and counseling, pharmacists are equipped to provide trustworthy information on TikTok and other platforms. Pharmacists can thus advance the practice of pharmacy and build rapport with patients through a new medium. Current health-related videos on TikTok have not been robustly evaluated for quality and reliability. This study evaluates antibiotic-related content from healthcare providers and non-healthcare providers on TikTok for balance, reliability, and quality using the DISCERN score. <b>Introduction</b>: Antimicrobial resistance is increasing at an alarming rate. Patient education is a critical component of both stewardship and combating health misinformation. TikTok is a video-sharing social media platform with 1 billion monthly users and contains videos that discuss health information. The objective of this study was to evaluate antibiotic-themed TikTok videos for their validity and reliability. <b>Methods</b>: In March 2021, a search on TikTok using the term \"antibiotics\" was performed and the top 300 consecutive videos were identified. The following data was collected for each video: number of likes, associated disease state, medications, educational aim, mention of COVID-19, and if performed by a healthcare professional (HCP). Non-English language videos were excluded. The DISCERN score was used to evaluate all videos for reliability. Chi-square and Mann-Whitney U were used for statistical analysis. A p-value less than .05 was considered statistically significant. <b>Results</b>: The first 300 consecutive videos were assessed using the DISCERN score for validity. Of the 300 videos, the majority (n=224) were created by non-health care professionals (non-HCPs). The number of \"likes\" per video ranged from 1 like to 2 million likes with a mean of 34,949 ± 143,482. Videos produced by HCPs were significantly more valid and reliable (mean DISCERN score of 1.65 vs 1.17, p <0.00001) than non-HCPs. They were found to be more relevant (p<0.00001), have clearer aims (p<0.00001), and were more balanced/unbiased (p=0.00188). Videos created by HCPs were more likely to have an educational focus (p<0.0001). There was no difference between groups in clarity of sources utilized or risk/benefits discussed of each treatment. Across all videos, the most common disease states mentioned were urinary tract infection, skin and soft tissue infection, upper respiratory tract infection, and dental infection. Herbal or supplement products, penicillins, and sulfa antibiotics were the most commonly discussed medications. <b>Conclusions</b>: Videos created by HCPs were significantly more valid and reliable tha","PeriodicalId":13646,"journal":{"name":"Innovations in Pharmacy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10256293/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9976462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The alteration in pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) and pharmacogenomics with flying and medications will need to be customised for each person individually and specifically at the point of need because of drug stability issues.
