“…With models predicting viewership which reaches 15 billion visitors per month [7,8], it would be reasonable to assume that many patients use it as a source of medical education. Studies to date have pointed towards YouTube videos being a poor source of patient information [9,10]. Our study adds to previous studies, demonstrating that most videos produced do not meet the specific goals of relaying the appropriate amount of information to the patients.…”

Purpose: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a common cause of pulmonary fibrosis, with millions of individuals affected in the world. Patients may use multiple resources to educate themselves regarding their illness, including popular social media video hosting site YouTube. We set out to determine the quality of patient education material discussing IPF available on YouTube. Methods: 100 consecutive videos were surveyed for review, of which 59 were included in the final analysis. Three independent blinded reviewers were assigned to score each video on a scoring system designed along patient education material available publicly at the American Thoracic Society and the American College of Chest Physicians. Scores by each reviewer were compared to others using means, standard deviation, Cohen's Kappa, and intra-class reliability. Results: Video content had a mean score of 5.9, SD 3.96 out of a maximum of 20 points. Cohen's Kappa between the three raters was calculated to a value of 0.92 and Interclass reliability was 0.79 (0.70-0.86, 95% CI) indicating appropriateness of comparison between the three raters. Conclusion: Patient education material regarding IPF on YouTube was found deficient in quantity and quality. Providers should be aware of the best information resources available and utilize these to educate their patients.

“…The findings showed that 51.9% of the excluded reviewed videos had misleading information, which is higher than the rate reported in previous studies. [32,33] A previous study found that searching terms and the declared disseminator source were principal requirements for accessing quality health-related videos. [34] This issue highlights the importance of publishing health information via official, or Alzheimer specialized organizations with definite and fixed searching terms to enable audience to access their quest easily.…”

Background: Alzheimer disease is a common cause of cognitive impairment among elders. Until now, there is no absolute management to treat the disease. Raising awareness of population regarding Alzheimer disease and its management is a top priority goal for different health organizations. Methods: Recently, using different mass media, specifically YouTube to share Alzheimer health-related information become increasingly apparent. The purpose of this study was to review the content of YouTube videos regarding Alzheimer disease health-related information. The searching key terms of Alzheimer disease, and education, management, and care were used. Videos were critically analyzed for content, method of presentation, and caregivers. Results: A total of 1,050 videos were reviewed, 513 videos were excluded because of misleading and duplication. Five hundred and thirty seven videos were analyzed. The most common type of videos classification was education. The majority of video content reviewed was signs and symptoms of Alzheimer disease. Slide presentation was the main method of presenting information (28.7%). The highest number caregivers in the videos review was for physician (32.4%). The total views of the videos were 4,831,853 views, 32,733 likes, and 1,060 dislikes. Conclusion: YouTube videos of Alzheimer disease were frequently viewed. However, inaccurate or incomplete health-related information was noticeable. Community of caregivers has a clear opportunity to enhance the value and quality of educational material on YouTube. Moreover, the nurses should have a significant role in uploading accurate health-related information regarding Alzheimer disease YouTube videos.

“…Given the significant potential for broad dissemination of medical content, various medical specialties are already examining the utility of YouTube as an educational and research tool. For example to assist with medication use during pregnancy or evaluate asthma education [6,7]. There is currently a need for more toxicology education, especially to countries and sites without poisons information.…”

Introduction:The Global Educational Toxicology Uniting Project (GETUP) has filled an important void in global education about poisoning management by linking countries with and without toxicology services through videoconferencing and educating primary health care doctors and other health professionals. However, time zone incompatibilities among geographically remote sites may mean some parties are unable to attend all videoconferences. Recorded video is one potential solution for asynchronous learning using GETUP case materials, but its utilization has not been adequately defined. We aimed to assess the feasibility of YouTube to disseminate recorded toxicology videoconferences and analyze its usage. Methods: We performed a review of nine recorded videoconferences recorded on Google Hangouts™ and stored on YouTube™ from March 2014 to August 2015. YouTube Analytics™ data were used to measure web traffic and viewer trends. Results: There were 204 views of the nine videoconferences during the study period. The main groups involved in making the recorded conferences included the Austin Toxicology Service, Victoria, Australia; Fresno Toxicology Service, California, USA and the emergency department, Suva, Fiji. The majority of views (59%) were by viewers in the 25-34 age bracket. Viewers were located in 20 countries over six continents. 33% (67 views) were from 18 states in the USA. Devices used to playback these conferences included a computer (93%), mobile phone (5.3%), tablet (1%), and unknown (0.7%). Conclusion: Recorded video available over the internet is feasible method to disseminate toxicology based educational videoconferences around the world and gather important information about how medical professionals tend to consume case-based toxicology educational contents.
