Özet
Background and Design: Social media is extremely popular for obtaining information on dermatological diseases and their treatments. The present study aimed to evaluate Turkish YouTube videos on acne treatment and compare them in terms of quality, reliability, and popularity based on the upload source.Materials and Methods: The first 120 Turkish YouTube videos on acne treatments were reviewed. The number of views, likes, dislikes, comments, video age, and video length were recorded. The quality and reliability of the videos were evaluated with the video power index (VPI). Then, the findings were compared based on the upload source.Results: A total of 104 videos uploaded by 52 physicians and 52 non-physicians (female: male ratio: 3.3:1) were assessed in this study. The DISCERN Score and Global Quality Score (GQS) were higher in the physicians' group (n=52, 50%) (p<0.001). The number of views, likes, dislikes, comments and VPI were significantly higher in the non-physicians group. The time elapsed since the upload day was longer in the videos uploaded by physicians, and the video duration was longer in the videos uploaded by non-physicians (p<0.001). The DISCERN and GQS in videos uploaded by dermatologists (n=30, 54%) were higher (p<0.001) than in those uploaded by non-dermatologists (n=22, 46%). No statistically significant difference was found in other findings.Conclusion: This study's findings confirmed that Turkish YouTube videos on acne treatment uploaded by doctors, especially dermatologists, were of higher quality and reliable, albeit with lower viewing rates and popularity.
