“…In such instances, authors often report assembling experts to evaluate the quality of a social media health topic and assigned numerical scores to a set of predefined criteria as seen in Syed-Abdul et al (2013), Thapa et al (2018), Nour et al (2016), Garg et al (2015), Nguyen and Allen (2018) and Smith et al (2019). These independent experts would then score the health information as useful , partly useful , misleading , or useless (Adhikari et al, 2016; Bademci et al, 2017; Smith et al, 2019). For example, YouTube video metrics such as number of likes and dislikes, number of comments, number of subscribers and shares are used together with expert ratings to determine the quality of information.…”

Background: Social media is used in health communication by individuals, health professionals, disease centres and other health regulatory bodies. However, varying degrees of information quality are churned out daily on social media. This review is concerned with the quality of Social Media Health Information (SMHI). Objective: The review sought to understand how SMHI quality issues have been framed and addressed in the literature. Health topics, users and social media platforms that have raised health information quality concerns are reviewed. The review also looked at the suitability of existing criteria and instruments used in evaluating SMHI and identified gaps for future research. Method: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses and the forward chaining strategy were used in the document search. Data were sourced according to inclusion criteria from five academic databases, namely Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, PubMed and MEDLINE. Results: A total of 93 articles published between 2000 and 2019 were used in the review. The review revealed a worrying trend of health content and communication on social media, especially of cancer, dental care and diabetes information on YouTube. The review further discovered that the Journal of the American Medical Association, the DISCERN and the Health on the Net Foundation, which were designed before the advent of social media, continue to be used as quality evaluation instruments for SMHI, even though technical and user characteristics of social media differ from traditional portals such as websites. Conclusion: The study synthesises varied opinions on SMHI quality in the literature and recommends that future research proposes quality evaluation criteria and instruments specifically for SMHI.

“…Similar to previous findings, a study conducted to assess the quality of YouTube videos on cataract surgery concluded that videos created by medical organizations such as the National Health Service were significantly more useful in terms of educating patients about the procedure than videos sourced by independent medical professionals and other sources ( P <.001) [ 30 ]. The study by Bademci et al [ 40 ] similarly concluded that medical topic videos on deep vein thrombosis sourced from medical professionals and hospitals were significantly more useful than videos from other sources ( P <.001).…”

Factors Affecting Engagement in Web-Based Health Care Patient Information: Narrative Review of the Literature

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background Web-based content is rapidly becoming the primary source of health care information. There is a pressing need for web-based health care content to not only be accurate but also be engaging. Improved engagement of people with web-based health care content has the potential to inform as well as influence behavioral change to enable people to make better health care choices. The factors associated with better engagement with web-based health care content have previously not been considered. Objective The aims of this study are to identify the factors that affect engagement with web-based health care content and develop a framework to be considered when creating such content. Methods A comprehensive search of the PubMed and MEDLINE database was performed from January 1, 1946, to January 5, 2020. The reference lists of all included studies were also searched. The Medical Subject Headings database was used to derive the following keywords: “patient information,” “online,” “internet,” “web,” and “content.” All studies in English pertaining to the factors affecting engagement in web-based health care patient information were included. No restrictions were set on the study type. Analysis of the themes arising from the results was performed using inductive content analysis. Results The search yielded 814 articles, of which 56 (6.9%) met our inclusion criteria. The studies ranged from observational and noncontrolled studies to quasi-experimental studies. Overall, there was significant heterogeneity in the types of interventions and outcome assessments, which made quantitative assessment difficult. Consensus among all authors of this study resulted in six categories that formed the basis of a framework to assess the factors affecting engagement in web-based health care content: easy to understand, support, adaptability, accessibility, visuals and content, and credibility and completeness. Conclusions There is a paucity of high-quality data relating to the factors that improve the quality of engagement with web-based health care content. Our framework summarizes the reported studies, which may be useful to health care content creators. An evaluation of the utility of web-based content to engage users is of significant importance and may be accessible through tools such as the Net Promoter score. Web 3.0 technology and development of the field of psychographics for health care offer further potential for development. Future work may also involve improvement of the framework through a co-design process.

“…According to Google, YouTube reaches more 18-to 49-year-olds in America than any U.S. cable network [10,11]. Though much of the limited literature on social media in healthcare, especially YouTube, has focused on YouTube as a one-sided, rather than dynamic, information source for patients or medical students [12][13][14], physicians that take care of young patients should be reminded that new technology is an important element of the lives of this generation. Vlogs like the Frey Life provide a novel way to get these patients' attention yet they have not been systematically incorporated into clinical practice and only a few published papers have considered their use [15][16][17].…”

Video blogs ('vlogs' -pronounced as one syllable) are a popular platform for conveying knowhow online and can be used as a tool for patient engagement. It can be challenging to engage patients in their own care, and the unique attributes of vlogs overcome some of the barriers to engagement such as high treatment burden and a lack of the sense of community. While some clinicians may distrust social media and question its place in patient care, we present The Frey Life, one example of a patient vlog, to show how the platform models and fosters engagement, and provides the patient perspective. We discuss potential concerns regarding health vlogs, and suggest implications for physicians, researchers, and medical institutions regarding how to use patient vlogs as a resource. Keywords consumer health informatics; patient engagement; chronic illnessPatient centeredness is a central element of high quality of care, but it is not always easy for physicians to engage patients in their own care [1]. This task can be challenging with younger patients with chronic illnesses, who may not relate to what they are told by doctors, and consequently have trouble making informed decisions about care. Recently, online videos have emerged as a popular platform for conveying knowledge and how-tos because of their convenience and accessibility for viewers. Seventy-two percent of online American adults view online videos, and the number posting videos online more than doubled from 2009 to 2013 [2]. Although some physicians distrust the use of social media in patient care-
