Özet
One of the most frequently visited platforms for individuals seeking health-related information is YouTube. So this study aims to evaluate the reliability and the quality of videos related to flexor tendon injury available on YouTube®. In this cross-sectional YouTube video study, a search was conducted using the keyword "flexor tendon injury," and 50 videos were analyzed. The characteristic features of the videos were recorded, and their reliability and quality were assessed using the modified DISCERN and Global Quality Scale (GQS). A total of 40 videos that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed. The quality of the videos was categorized as moderate according to the GQS, with a score of (3,14/5) and their reliability is questionable (2,78/5). Half of the videos were produced by physicians, and no statistically significant differences were found in terms of quality and reliability between the video producers or the video content. When comparing the video producers in pairs, videos created by patients were found to be of lower quality and reliability in all group comparisons, except for those involving the others-produced videos. Videos related to flexor tendon injuries on YouTube are of moderate quality and their reliability is questionable. The number of views, likes, and dislikes may does not accurately reflect the quality of the videos. It is recommended that informative videos, based on comprehensive and evidence-based information, be created by experts to educate patients about flexor tendon injuries.
