“…This unexpected trend suggests a potential disparity between content quality, assessed by JAMA benchmark criteria, and viewer engagement, warranting further investigation. Our findings align with a study by Springer et al,17 who assessed video quality and reliability in the context of patient information on post-arthroscopic rotator cuff repair rehabilitation. Unlike the other research, Springer et al17 noted that medically trained individual videos, despite their higher content quality, received fewer likes 14,31,32.…”

“…Our findings align with a study by Springer et al,17 who assessed video quality and reliability in the context of patient information on post-arthroscopic rotator cuff repair rehabilitation. Unlike the other research, Springer et al17 noted that medically trained individual videos, despite their higher content quality, received fewer likes 14,31,32. This underscores the intricate nature of viewer preferences and engagement in medical and rehabilitation-related video content, necessitating further research for a comprehensive understanding of these dynamics.…”

“…For instance, videos centered on lymphedema rehabilitation garnered a viewing rate of 22.7 14. Likewise, research on videos pertaining to rehabilitation after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair reported a mean viewing rate of 67.11, while videos addressing cancer rehabilitation commanded an approximate viewing rate of 8.33 16,17. Several factors may elucidate the variance in viewing rates observed.…”

“…The CRSS is a novel questionnaire specifically designed to evaluate video content quality concerning the accuracy of information related to CR. It draws inspiration from similar approaches utilized in prior studies that have assessed the quality of medical content within YouTube videos 17,18. The CRSS comprises eight questions, each of which is evaluated using a binary scoring system.…”

“…Recent research studies have highlighted several shortcomings in YouTube videos addressing various topics within the field of rehabilitation medicine. These deficiencies include inadequate reliability and content quality, a dearth of objectivity, and a lack of clarity and understandability in the presented information 14-18. To the best of our knowledge, there exists no published study that specifically investigates the quality of CR-related videos available on YouTube.…”

Purpose: There is a growing concern surrounding the utility of medical content on social media. In this study, the popularity metrics and content quality of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) videos on YouTube regarding patient education were examined. Methods: Using the search key word “cardiac rehabilitation,” we analyzed the 50 most relevant videos. Our video popularity analytics encompassed viewing rate, such as ratio, number of comments, and the video power index (VPI). We assessed content quality using the Global Quality Scale (GQS), the modified DISCERN questionnaire, Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) benchmark criteria, Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool for Audio/Visual Materials (PEMAT-A/V), and a novel tool, the Cardiac Rehabilitation Specific Scale (CRSS). Results: Notably, 78% of the videos were uploaded by medical organizations. The average viewing rate was 4.6 views per day. There were positive correlations between the scores from different content quality scales. Median scores for the GQS, the modified DISCERN questionnaire, JAMA benchmark criteria, and the CRSS were 3, 3.5, 2, and 5, respectively. Mean PEMAT-A/V scores were 60.4% for understandability and 38.3% for actionability. Videos published by entities other than medical centers predicted lower CRSS and GQS scores. High JAMA benchmark criteria scores were negative predictors of VPI, view rate, and number of comments. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that CR-related videos on YouTube are characterized by low popularity, average content quality and understandability, but a lack of reliability and actionability. To ensure individuals seek accurate CR information on social media platforms, we recommend directing them to videos uploaded by medical centers.

Purpose The present study aims to assess the impact of the local language on the view count of patient-oriented educational Sports Medicine videos in an Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Hospital in the Middle East and North Africa. Methods An observational study on English and Arabic versions of Aspetar’s YouTube channel patient-oriented educational video series was conducted in February 2023, comparing the view count and viewer characteristics. Included videos were posted either simultaneously or in English version first, in both languages, and shared on the same media platforms. Collected data of interest included video title, view count in each language, age and sex of the viewers, location, and traffic source. Results Eleven videos of the patient-oriented educational video series were included in the present study. Except for one, the view count was significantly higher in the Arabic version of all 11 videos (minimum sevenfold, P = 0.03). Viewers were predominantly males (73.9%) and between 18 and 44 years old (81.1%). Eleven out of 19 countries of the Middle East and North Africa region [11] were among the viewers’ top 20 countries. Traffic sources included YouTube search (45.9%), YouTube suggested videos (17%), external sources (14.4%), YouTube browse features (8.5%), and YouTube advertising (6%). Conclusion Patient-oriented educational Sports Medicine videos in Arabic yield higher view counts than their English version in young adult viewers from 11 countries in the Middle East and Africa among the top 20. Content creation on languages with limited online representation could effectively reach the targeted population by breaking language barriers.
