“…Studies have indicated that attempting to learn specific procedures, such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, through self-learning videos is a viable approach ( 21 ). Therefore, it is important to ensure the accuracy of the content in these videos ( 22 , 23 ). When we analyzed the relationship between video quality and the number of video views, we also found that lower-quality videos had significantly more views than higher-quality videos ( p = 0.043) and that the differences among the numbers of views, comments, and replies were too large.…”

ObjectivePatients utilize the internet as a pathway to acquire knowledge of specific diseases. However, there are limited oversight and review mechanisms to ensure the authenticity of online information. This study aimed to evaluate the quality of video-based resources used to obtain information about atrial fibrillation (AF).MethodsMultiple AF-specific keywords were used to perform a systematic search of YouTube. Two independent reviewers reviewed the top 50 results of each keyword search. To record data, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) score, modified DISCERN score, AF-specific score (AFSS), and essential score (Escore) were used. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used for intergroup comparisons.ResultsA total of 74 videos that met the inclusion criteria were included in the analysis. In terms of video quality, 68% were poor, 19% were moderate, and 13% were exceptional. Videos submitted by publishers with a medical background were much less popular (p < 0.05) than those submitted by publishers without a medical background. The video quality did not differ among those included in this study.ConclusionsSome videos on YouTube that are of real value are not as popular as those with low-quality content submitted by news agencies/media publishers. Furthermore, videos submitted by those with a medical background do not receive as much attention as others. It is important to acknowledge that video platforms should establish content and quality auditing mechanisms for videos. Furthermore, publishers should ensure that viewers receive accurate and complete knowledge and use more concise and accessible images or animations that are tailored to the audience.

A fundamental basis for effective health-related policymaking of any democratic nation should be open and transparent communication between a government and its citizens, including scientists and healthcare professionals, to foster a climate of trust, especially during the ongoing COVID-19 mass vaccination campaign. Since misinformation is a leading cause of vaccine hesitancy, open data sharing through an evidence-based approach may render the communication of health strategies developed by policymakers with the public more effective, allowing misinformation and claims that are not backed by scientific evidence to be tackled. In this narrative review, we debate possible causes of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and links to the COVID-19 misinformation epidemic. We also put forward plausible solutions as recommended in the literature.

“…However, researchers tend to disseminate their findings through academic conference proceedings and publications in peer-reviewed journals (Wilson et al ., 2010). Workplace decision-makers may not have access to up-to-date evidence from the scientific literature when they make decisions about health and safety approaches (Van Eerd et al ., 2018; van Dijk and Caraballo-Arias, 2021).…”
