“…In general, the findings of these studies indicate that these materials are of questionable quality. The majority of materials are lacking in quality and reliability which could lead to misinformation and also user needs are not met in terms of quality (Arif & Ghezzi, 2018; Azer et al, 2018; Barnes & Davies, 2015; Barrow et al, 2018; Butler & Foster, 2003; Ghodasra et al, 2018; Hughes et al, 2019; Joury et al, 2018; Rofaiel & Chande, 2018; Ronfeldt et al, 2018; Tran & Tsui, 2021; Treffalls et al, 2022; Vargas et al, 2017; Venosa et al, 2021; Vicente‐Neira et al, 2022; Yan et al, 2021; D.

Background: Patient education information material (PEIM) is an essential component of patient education programs in increasing patients' ability to cope with their diseases. Therefore, it is essential to consider the criteria that will be used to prepare and evaluate these resources.Objective: This paper aims to identify these criteria and recognize the tools or methods used to evaluate them.Methods: National and international databases and indexing banks, including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, ProQuest, the Cochrane Library, Magiran, SID and ISC, were searched for this review. Original or review articles, theses, short surveys, and conference papers published between January 1990 and June 2022 were included.Results: Overall, 4688 documents were retrieved, of which 298 documents met the inclusion criteria. The criteria were grouped into 24 overarching criteria. The most frequently used criteria were readability, quality, suitability, comprehensibility and understandability. Conclusion: This review has provided empirical evidence to identify criteria, tools, techniques or methods for developing or evaluating a PEIM. The authors suggest that developing a comprehensive tool based on these findings is critical for evaluating the overall efficiency of PEIM using effective criteria.

“…[8][9][10][11] Sexual dysfunction in women that prevents penile penetration, such as vaginismus or dyspareunia and an extremely acidic vaginal environment, can significantly reduce sperm viability and lead to infertility. 12,13 Problems with the cervix uteri include physiological changes that normally occur during the preovulatory and ovulatory periods that make the cervical environment conducive to sperm viability, such as increased alkalinity and increased secretion.…”

Infertility can be defined as a married couple who have not experienced pregnancy for one year, after having regular intercourse 2-3 times a week and without using any preventive methods. There are two types of infertility, namely primary infertility and secondary infertility. Primary infertility is when the wife has never been pregnant even though she has had intercourse without contraception and is faced with the possibility of pregnancy for twelve months. Secondary infertility is when the wife has been pregnant before, but then there is no further pregnancy even though she has had intercourse without contraception and is faced with the possibility of pregnancy for twelve months. Causes of infertility can be divided into three groups. One-third of related problems in women, one-third in men, and one-third are caused by a combination of factors. Infertility in women can be caused by problems with the vagina, cervix uteri, fallopian tubes, uterus, or ovaries. This literature review aimed to describe the definitions, types, and current management of infertility in women.

Background Social media, with its low cost and easy accessibility, represents an ideal medium for sharing medical interests, but the quality of its content is questionable. Aim The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of video content related to vaginismus on YouTube as a source of information by using scores of established classification systems. The secondary aim was to examine the relationship between objective and subjective measures of their quality. Methods The term vaginismus was typed into the YouTube search bar (http://www.youtube.com). The first 50 videos with the highest number of views were included in the study. All videos were assessed on August 18, 2022, by a gynecologist and/or a urologist experienced in vulvodynia. Data of all the videos were recorded, such as source, content, duration, day since upload date, number of views, number of likes, number of comments, and views per day. The Global Quality Scale (GQS) and modified DISCERN score were employed to assess the quality of the videos. Outcomes The primary outcomes of this study were the scores of established classification systems and the measures relating to the preference and evaluation of viewers of YouTube videos on vulvodynia. Results A total of 50 videos were evaluated. The sources of 32 (64%) of these videos were “universities/professional organizations/nonprofit physicians/physicians” and “stand-alone health information websites.” The GQS and modified DISCERN scores of the videos whose source was “universities/professional organizations/nonprofit physicians/physicians” were higher than those whose source was “talk show programs/television programs” (P = .014 for GQS score, P = .046 for modified DISCERN score). When classified according to GQS score, the quality level of 58% of the videos was low. Of the videos whose source was “universities/professional organizations/nonprofit physicians/physicians,” 56.3% were of good quality. Clinical Implications The quality of information was very low and suggested that health care professionals should take on a more active role in configuring the qualitative characteristics of the material available online about the given health issues. Strengths and Limitations To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the quality of YouTube videos on vaginismus (vulvodynia). However, the limitation of this study is the relatively subjective evaluation of videos, including the risk of observer bias, although we attempted to overcome this problem with the inclusion of 2 independent reviewers and the use of validated tools. Conclusion YouTube videos may offer a huge amount of information about this condition, but the quality of the available sources is heterogeneous.
