Seramik Braketler Ýle Ýlgili YouTube™ Videolarýnýn Kalitesinin Deðerlendirilmesi

GÝRÝÞ ve AMAÇ: Bu araþtýrmanýn amacý YouTube™ video platformunda bulunan ve seramik braketlerle ilgili bilgi veren içeriklerin doðruluðunu deðerlendirmektir.
YÖNTEM ve GEREÇLER: Bu çalýþmada, Google Trends uygulamasý (Google, ABD) Eylül 2023'te “seramik braketler” ile ilgili en sýk kullanýlan arama terimlerini belirlemek için kullanýlmýþtýr. Karþýlaþtýrmalý arama sonuçlarýna göre, “clear braces” terimi en sýk kullanýlan arama terimi olarak bulunmuþtur. YouTube ™’daki toplam 509 videodan 67'si bu çalýþma için uygun bulunmuþtur. Videolarýn kalitesini deðerlendirmek için VIQI (Video Information and Quality Index) indeksi kullanýlmýþtýr. Seçilen 67 videonun içeriðinin faydalý olup olmadýðýný belirlemek için 10 parametreden oluþan bir 'toplam içerik kullanýþlýlýk puaný’ oluþturulmuþtur. Ýstatistiksel analiz için Spearman rank korelasyon analizi, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Shapiro-Wilk ve Mann-Whitney U-testleri kullanýlmýþtýr.
BULGULAR: Toplam içerik kullanýþlýlýk puanýna göre 5 video yüksek içerikli ve 15 video düþük içerikli olarak sýnýflandýrýlmýþtýr. Düþük içerikli grupla karþýlaþtýrýldýðýnda, yüksek içerikli video grubunun ortalama görüntüleme sayýsý (146768.80 vs 12400, p= 0.061), like sayýsý (2178.60 vs 530.75, p= 0.205), yorum sayýsý (241.75 vs 141.50, p= 0.199), kalite puaný (4.00 vs 2.40; p= 0.011), VIQI deðeri (17.40 vs 11.33, p= 0.005) daha yüksekti. VIQI deðerleri ile güvenilirlik puaný, akýþ, bilgi doðruluðu, kalite puaný, tutarlýlýk ve toplam içerik kullanýþlýlýðý arasýnda anlamlý bir pozitif korelasyon gözlenmiþtir.
TARTIÞMA ve SONUÇ: Ortodontistler tarafýndan paylaþýlan seramik braketler ile ilgili YouTube™ videolarýnýn kalitesi çok düþük bulunmuþtur. Uzmanlar hastalarý güvenilir bilgi kaynaklarýna yönlendirmelidir.

Evaluating The Quality of YouTube™ Videos On Ceramic Brackets

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of content on the YouTube™ video platform that provides information about ceramic braces.
METHODS: In this study, the Google Trends application (Google, USA) was used to identify the most frequently used search terms related to "ceramic braces" in September 2023. Based on the comparative search results, the term "clear braces" was found to be the most frequently used search term. Out of a total of 509 videos on YouTube™, 67 were eligible for this study. The VIQI (Video Information and Quality Index) index was used to assess the quality of the videos. A 'total content usefulness score' consisting of 10 parameters was created to determine whether the content of the 67 selected videos was useful or not. Spearman rank correlation analysis, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Shapiro-Wilk and Mann-Whitney U-tests were used for statistical analysis.
RESULTS: According to the total content usefulness score, 5 videos were classified as high content and 15 videos were classified as low content. Compared to the low-content group, the average number of views (146768.80 vs 12400, p= 0.061), likes (2178.60 vs 530.75, p= 0.205), comments (241.75 vs 141.50, p= 0.199), quality score (4.00 vs 2.40; p= 0.011), VIQI value (17.40 vs 11.33, p= 0.005) were higher in the high-content video group. A significant positive correlation was observed between VIQI values and reliability score, flow, information accuracy, quality score, consistency and total content usefulness.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The quality of YouTube™ videos on ceramic braces shared by orthodontists was found to be very low. Specialists should refer patients to reliable sources of information.
