Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to assess the reliability, quality, and content of YouTube videos that cover topics such as the definition, etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of bruxism. Material and Methods: A YouTube search was conducted using the keywords “bruxism,” “teeth clenching and grinding,” and “bruxism in children.” YouTube videos were examined using four analysis techniques: interaction index, quality score of video content, Global Quality Scale (GQS), and DISCERN reliability analysis. Statistical analyses were performed using IBM SPSS 25, and significance was set at P< 0.05 level. Results: Of the first 180 videos scanned, 109 were included in the analysis. We observed that videos were frequently produced by professional sources (90.8%). However, the mean interaction index of videos uploaded from individual sources (2.07±0.93) was higher than videos uploaded by hospitals/institutions (1.18±2.06). Although interest in videos uploaded by individual sources is high, the reliability of such videos (1.00±0.94) was lower than sources uploaded by hospital institutions (1.53±1.05) and dentists/health professionals (1.63±0.66). Videos with a duration of >6 min have a higher DISCERN score than those with a duration of ≤6 min. In the videos, 41.79% of the etiological factors were psychological factors, 34.32% were systemic disorders, and 18.65% were malocclusion. In terms of treatment methods, occlusal splint applications (33.7%) and preventive treatments (18.78%) were the most commonly mentioned approaches. Conclusion: The reliability and quality of YouTube videos on bruxism are inadequate. Health professionals should increase the usefulness of digital platforms by sharing reliable and comprehensive videos.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, bruksizmin tanımı, etiyolojisi, tanısı ve tedavisi gibi konuları ele alan YouTube videolarının güvenilirliğini, kalitesini ve içeriğini değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: “Bruksizm”, “diş sıkma ve gıcırdatma” ve “çocuklarda bruksizm” anahtar kelimeleri kullanılarak bir YouTube araması yapıldı. YouTube videoları dört analiz tekniği kullanılarak incelendi: etkileşim indeksi, video içeriğinin kalite puanı, Küresel Kalite Ölçeği (GQS) ve DISCERN güvenilirlik analizi. İstatistiksel analizler IBM SPSS 25 kullanılarak yapıldı ve anlamlılık P < 0.05 düzeyinde belirlendi. Bulgular: Taranan ilk 180 videodan 109'u analize dahil edildi. Videoların sıklıkla profesyonel kaynaklar tarafından üretildiği (% 90.8) gözlemlendi. Ancak, bireysel kaynaklardan yüklenen videoların ortalama etkileşim indeksi (2.07±0.93), hastaneler/kurumlar tarafından yüklenen videolardan (1.18±2.06) daha yüksekti. Bireysel kaynaklar tarafından yüklenen videolara olan ilgi yüksek olsa da, bu tür videoların güvenilirliği (1.00±0.94) hastane kurumları (1.53±1.05) ve diş hekimleri/sağlık profesyonelleri (1.63±0.66) tarafından yüklenen kaynaklardan daha düşüktü. >6 dakika süren videolar, ≤6 dakika süren videolardan daha yüksek bir DISCERN puanına sahiptir. Videolarda, etiyolojik faktörler olarak % 41,79 oranında psikolojik faktörlere, % 34,32 oranında sistemik rahatsızlıklara ve % 18,65 oranında maloklüzyona değinildi. Tedavi yöntemleri açısından ise okluzal splint uygulamaları (% 33,7) ve önleyici tedaviler (% 18,78) en yaygın bahsi geçen yaklaşımlar olarak öne çıktı. Sonuç: Bruksizmle ilgili YouTube videolarının güvenilirliği ve kalitesi yetersizdir. Sağlık profesyonelleri, güvenilir ve kapsamlı videolar paylaşarak dijital platformların yararlılığını artırmalıdır.
