Youtube ve Astım: Astımla İlgili Popüler Videoların Bilgi İçeriğinin Eleştirel Bir Değerlendirmesi

Year 2020, Volume: 5 Issue: 4, 563 - 571, 30.12.2020

Abstract

Amaç: Astım dünya genelinde 300 milyondan fazla kişiyi etkilemektedir, astımlı hastalar sıklıkla interneti bir bilgi kaynağı olarak kullanırlar. Youtube ülkemizde internet kullanıcılarının %92 oranla en sık ziyaret ettiği platformların başında gelmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı astımla ilişkili videoların bilgi içeriklerini analiz ederek videoların eğitim kalitesi değerlendirmektir.

Materyal ve Metot: "Astım" anahtar kelimesini kullanarak Youtube araması yapıldı, en çok izlenen 100 video dahil edildi. Özellikler, kaynak ve içerik açısından analiz edildi. Video kalitesini değerlendirmek için bir puanlama sistemi oluşturuldu.


Bulgular: Yüz video analiz edildi, konu içeriği olarak en sık hasta eğitimi ile ilgili (%58), ikinci sırada alternatif tedavilerle ilgili videolar yer almaktaydı (%37). Diğer sağlık profesyonellerinin videoları en yüksek puana sahipti ve diğer kaynaklardan önemli ölçüde yüksekti. Alternatif tıp kanallarını izlenme sayısı sağlık profesyonellerinin izlenme sayısından yüksekti.


Sonuç: YouTube platformundaki en çok izlenen astım videoları değerlendirildi, içerik analizi yapıldığında sağlık profesyonellerinin videoları en yüksek kalitedeydi, ancak izlenme oranlarına göre bakıldığında en çok alternatif tıp içerikli videoların izlendiği görüldü. Astımla ilgilenen sağlık profesyonelleri tarafından üretilecek daha çok izlenecek yüksek kaliteli, eğitici materyaller üretilmesine ihtiyaç vardır.
