“…Ten of the studies explored whether there was an association between the author category and subjectively how useful the video was, with six of these studies demonstrating an association; however, there was no association with the quality of the video. 12 A limitation of this study is there were only 20 videos evaluated, which was indicative of the low number of educational videos on You-Tube. However, as these were the top 20 results found, they are also the most relevant to viewers.…”

“…This is consistent with other studies that have looked at the quality of YouTube videos in healthcare. 12 There is significant heterogeneity in the method to evaluate the quality of You-Tube videos in healthcare. Given the popularity of YouTube as an educational tool, a standardised evaluation tool should be generated.…”

“…The systematic review by Gorgy et al 12 found that there is no standardised approach to evaluate the quality of YouTube videos. Approximately half of the studies reviewed used one of the standardised scoring systems, such as DISCERN, whereas half had an arbitrary subjective score created by the author.…”

“…This result was somewhat expected, given similar studies in healthcare that have previously evaluated the quality of YouTube videos mostly found them to be of poor quality. [4][5][6][7][8] A systematic review in 2022 by Gorgy et al 12 aimed to review the studies that have done a quality assessment of YouTube videos in healthcare and found that 96.6% reported that the quality was unsatisfactory.…”

ObjectivesThe objectives of this study are to assess the current level of experience and teaching practices for SPC change at our institution and, second, to assess the quality of YouTube videos as an educational tool for teaching SPC change.MethodsA survey was conducted of 40 JMOs at our institution regarding SPC change. The first 20 YouTube videos on SPC change were included for analysis. A JAMA and DISCERN score was calculated for each video. Using linear regression, the association between collected variables and the assigned JAMA and DISCERN scores were determined.ResultsThe survey showed that 18 (45%) of JMOs had done an SPC change. None had received formal teaching. The consensus was that the quality of the YouTube videos was poor. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between the score assigned to videos by each scoring system (Pearson's r 0.81, p < 0.001). There was no statistically significant association between video quality as measured by either of the scoring systems and number of views. No association between any video characteristic and JAMA and DISCERN score was found.ConclusionAn SPC change is often a requirement of JMOs; however, this skill is not formally taught. The quality of YouTube videos describing an SPC change is poor.

“…It is a preferred tool when obtaining medical information from the internet during the pandemic, as it was before COVID-19 [6,8]. Physicians and patients seeking education material for medical issues have started to turn to YouTube for this purpose [5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Health anxiety caused by COVID-19 has reduced live interaction in all areas of life and increased people's search for digital information [10].…”

Introduction Current treatment approach aims to achieve greater efficacy with fewer side effects, by targeted cancer therapy as much as possible. Radionuclide therapy is a modality that uses cancer theranostics and is increasingly applied for various cancers as a targeted therapy. YouTube is a preferred tool for obtaining medical information from the internet. This study aims to determine the content quality, level of interaction and usefulness as education material of radionuclide therapy YouTube videos and to reveal the impact of the COVID-19 process on these parameters. Materials and MethodsThe keywords were searched on YouTube on August 25, 2018, and May 10, 2021. After removing duplicate and excluded videos, all remaining videos were scored and coded. Results Majority of the videos were useful educational material. Most of them were high quality. Popularity markers were unrelated to quality level. After COVID, the power index of videos with high JAMA scores increased. The COVID-19 pandemic did not have a negative effect on video features; the quality of the content increased even more after the pandemic. Conclusion Radionuclide therapy YouTube videos have high-quality content and provide useful education material. The popularity is independent of the content quality. During the pandemic, video quality and usefulness characteristics did not change, while the visibility is increased. We consider YouTube to be an appropriate educational material for patients and healthcare professionals to gain basic knowledge of radionuclide therapy. The Covıd-19 pandemic highlighted the power of radionuclide therapy YouTube videos as an educational material.

Recommendation systems have become ubiquitous, and they actively participate in creating our individual and collective identity. In this paper, the diffusion of climate change information has been studied based on YouTube’s recommendation system and the political media landscape. The YouTube channels of CNN, BBC News and Fox News, as the most popular channels, respectively, for Left, Center and Right parties, were explored using web scraping and social network analysis to check what kind of recommended content will pop up if a user looks for climate change videos. Using an agent-based modeling approach, the competition between Left, Center and Right media in pushing their own narrative of climate change in society was simulated. The results suggest YouTube’s recommendation algorithm is highly biased since most of the recommended content was from the same channel fitting their own political agenda. The agent-based modeling indicates the size of a network is a decisive factor in further spread of a message as Left media always dominated Center and Right media in pushing their own perspective on climate change regardless of higher weights assigned to Right media. This study shed light on how public perception on climate change can be shaped by recommendation systems and digital companies.
