Abstract

Objective: Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) are important treatment modalities used in advanced gastrointestinal malignancies. YouTube is among the most frequently consulted sources of information about these procedures by both the public and healthcare professionals. This study aimed to evaluate the content, quality, comprehensibility, and accuracy of CRS and HIPEC videos on YouTube. Methods: A YouTube search was performed using the keyword “cytoreductive surgery HIPEC,” and the first 180 videos were analyzed. Videos were categorized by source (physician, institutional, media, patient). Data on voice narration, subtitles, language, comments, likes, views, and video length were recorded. In addition, each video was assessed for quality, comprehensibility, and accuracy using a 5-point Likert scale. Results: In total, 52.2% of the analyzed videos were media-based, 28.3% institutional, 17.4% physician, and 2.2% patient-based. While 91.8% had voice narration, only 5.4% included subtitles. The mean video length was 13.3±21.8 minutes, and the mean number of views was 4667±16,932. The mean quality score was 2.47±1.08, comprehensibility score 2.69±1.02, and accuracy score 2.80±1.04. Physician and institutional videos had significantly higher quality (p<0.001) and comprehensibility (p<0.001) scores compared with media-based videos. Conclusion: The majority of CRS and HIPEC videos on YouTube are produced by media sources, with overall low quality and comprehensibility. Although physician- and institution-based videos demonstrate higher scientific quality, they remain less accessible and popular. Increasing the availability of professional, high-quality content is essential to provide accurate and comprehensible information in surgical oncology.

Özet

Amaç: Sitoredüktif cerrahi (CRS) ve hipertermik intraperitoneal kemoterapi (HIPEC), ileri gastrointestinal malignitelerde kullanılan önemli tedavi yöntemleridir. YouTube, hem toplum hem de sağlık profesyonelleri tarafından bu prosedürler hakkında en sık danışılan bilgi kaynaklarından biridir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, YouTube’daki CRS ve HIPEC videolarının içerik, kalite, anlaşılabilirlik ve doğruluk açısından değerlendirilmesidir. Yöntemler: YouTube’da “cytoreductive surgery HIPEC” anahtar kelimesi kullanılarak arama yapılmış ve ilk 180 video analiz edilmiştir. Videolar kaynaklarına göre (hekim, kurumsal, medya, hasta) sınıflandırılmıştır. Sesli anlatım, altyazı, dil, yorumlar, beğeni sayısı, izlenme sayısı ve video süresi ile ilgili veriler kaydedilmiştir. Ayrıca her video, 5 puanlık Likert ölçeği kullanılarak kalite, anlaşılabilirlik ve doğruluk açısından değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Analiz edilen videoların %52,2’si medya kaynaklı, %28,3’ü kurumsal, %17,4’ü hekim, %2,2’si hasta kaynaklıydı. Videoların %91,8’inde sesli anlatım mevcutken yalnızca %5,4’ünde altyazı bulunmaktaydı. Ortalama video süresi 13,3±21,8 dakika, ortalama izlenme sayısı ise 4667±16.932 idi. Ortalama kalite skoru 2,47±1,08; anlaşılabilirlik skoru 2,69±1,02; doğruluk skoru ise 2,80±1,04 bulundu. Hekim ve kurumsal videolar, medya kaynaklı videolara kıyasla anlamlı derecede daha yüksek kalite (p<0,001) ve anlaşılabilirlik (p<0,001) skorlarına sahipti. Sonuç: YouTube’daki CRS ve HIPEC videolarının çoğunluğu medya kaynaklı olup, genel olarak düşük kalite ve anlaşılabilirlik düzeyine sahiptir. Hekim ve kurum temelli videolar bilimsel açıdan daha yüksek kalite sunsa da daha az erişilebilir ve popülerdir. Cerrahi onkolojide doğru ve anlaşılır bilgi sağlamak için profesyonel, yüksek kaliteli içeriklerin artırılması gereklidir.
