YouTube as an educational tool has been recently receiving a great deal of attention from researchers and teachers. The study in question therefore investigates this phenomenon. To this end, a modified conceptual model based on the technology acceptance model (TAM) was proposed to test student perceptions, attitudes and intentions to adopt YouTube as an educational tool. The study was quantitative in nature where 377 registered students from a selected university were chosen through non-probability sampling. In order to analyse the data SPSS 25 and AMOS 25 were utilised for descriptive statistics and structural equation modeling respectively. Perceived usefulness of YouTube and perceived ease of use where proposed as antecedents of attitudes and intentions while adoption of YouTube as an educational tool was anticipated to be the outcome. The main findings suggested that perceived usefulness was observed to have a more significant impact on student perceptions toward learning through YouTube in comparison to the perceived ease of use. In addition, it was also discovered that intention to use YouTube and adoption of YouTube as an educational tool had the strongest relationship of all tested hypotheses. Implications for educators and researchers were established from the findings. Thereafter, suggestions for further research were proposed.

“…[16] Unfortunately, the absence of a control mechanism triggers an utmost uncertainty regarding the reliability, accuracy, and appropriateness of those video sources. [17,23] Our newly developed scoring system (TTTS-IS) shows a negative correlation with VPI, whereas it indicates a significant correlation with a total number of views (rho=0.903, p<0.001). As a matter of fact, laser photocoagulation can only be performed in the tertiary centers for a robust infrastructure.…”

“…Given the abovementioned criteria, the reliability and quality of videos on a broad-based platform such as YouTube that can provide content in many languages will be tremendously important shortly to improve communication between patients and medical professionals. [9,18,[23][24][25] According to the research by Lagan et al, 83% of pregnant women mentioned the importance of Internet-based information as one of their decisionmaking processes. [24] When Yuksel et al analyzed the health concerns of pregnant women and their difficulties in obtaining accurate information during the COVID-19 pandemic, they showed that videos with incorrect content could cause more concern.…”

Objective This study intends to objectively review the quality and reliability of laser photocoagulation for twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) videos on the YouTube® platform in terms of integrity and educational value for patients and medical professionals. Methods YouTube® (http://www.youtube.com) search was performed for videos pertaining to fetal laser surgery in TTTS, using the terms fetoscopic laser ablation or/and fetoscopic laser surgery or/and fetoscopic laser twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. A total of 42 videos were analyzed. Video sources were categorized as follows: INDIVIDUAL, ACADEMIC INSTITUTION, and COMMERCIAL. Source of videos, time since upload (days), total duration of videos (seconds), total views, and likes were recorded. Video power index (VPI) was used to report video popularity. Educational quality and integrity were reviewed using the DISCERN, JAMA, GQS, and a novel YouTube® TTTS content - integrity score (TTTS-IS). Results The mean duration was 336.43±351.8 seconds, and the total views were 172.076±82.6. Surgical risks were stated only in 33% of videos, and the success rate of surgery was mentioned in 35%. In all groups, the median value of DISCERN scores is 32.50, 42, and 26, which refers to poor, fair, and very poor quality, respectively. Videos uploaded by an academic institution had statistically insignificant DISCERN and JAMA scores along with lower GQS and TTTS-IS (p>0.05). In regards to the video source, academic institutions were prominent (47.6%), and the most popularized videos were conducted by commercial websites and individuals related to VPI. The VPI was poorly correlated with all scoring systems. Negative correlations were detected between total views and JAMA scores and positive correlations were determined with the GQS and TTTS-IS. Conclusion Despite having VPI score highly in each group, YouTube® provides low-quality videos regarding fetal laser surgery of TTTS. There is an urgent need to regulate the context of those videos according to medical guidelines.

“…Our strategy in selecting videos included in our sample group was based on internet search engine research demonstrating that between 62% and 90% of search engine users do not click on results beyond the first and third page of results, respectively (11). Our methods were previously used in multiple studies that assessed YouTube as a source of patient education (13)(14)(15)(16).…”

Background: Aortic stenosis (AS) is a prevalent disease in the elderly population and has been a public health concern for decades. YouTube is currently being used for obtaining healthcare related information. We evaluated the quality of information about AS on YouTube for patient education. Methods: YouTube was queried for the search phrases "aortic valve stenosis", "aortic valve replacement", "transcatheter aortic valve replacement" and "TAVR". Videos were assessed for their reliability and content with two five-point scales. They were categorized into groups according to usefulness and uploader source. All videos were assessed for audience interaction. Videos were viewed and analyzed by 2 independent investigators. Conflicts were resolved by a third investigator. Results: Search phrases yielded 69,300 videos, among which, 120 videos were evaluated and 85 videos were included in the final analysis. Of the 85 videos, only 45 videos (53%) were found to be useful while 40 videos (47%) were found to be non-useful. The majority (98%) of the useful videos were uploaded by professional sources. Overall, videos uploaded by non-professional sources had higher number of views (23,553 vs. 11,110, P≤0.001) despite of being less useful (14% vs. 67%, P<0.001) when compared to videos uploaded by professional sources. Conclusions: There is a potential to increase public awareness about aortic valve stenosis and the available treatment options by utilizing YouTube. Professional societies are encouraged to provide more useful material that can deliver comprehensive and reliable information in an entertaining and intuitive manner to the public.
