Introduction: Social media (SoMe) have revolutionized healthcare, but physicians remain hesitant to adopt SoMe in their practices. We sought to assess graduating urology residents' practices of and attitudes toward SoMe.Methods: A close-ended questionnaire, employing five-point Likert scales, was distributed to all final-year residents (n=100) in Canadian urology training programs in 2012, 2014, and 2016 to assess SoMe usage and perceived usefulness. Results: All (100%) questionnaires were completed. Respondents frequently used online services for personal (100%) and professional (96%) purposes. Most (92%) used SoMe. Many (73%) frequently used SoMe for personal purposes, but few (12%) frequently used SoMe for professional purposes. While a majority (59%) opposed direct patient interaction online, most supported using SoMe to provide patients with static information (76%) and collaborate with colleagues (65%). Many (70-73%) were optimistic that novel solutions to privacy issues in online communications will arise, making SoMe and email contact with patients conceivable. Few (2-8%) were aware and had read guidelines and legislations regarding physician online practices; however, awareness of medical associations' and institutional SoMe policies significantly increased over time (p<0.05). Conclusions: Despite their active online use, graduating urology residents rarely used SoMe in professional settings and were wary of using it in patient care. Nevertheless, they were optimistic toward its integration in urology and supported its use in physician-physician communication. Considering SoMe's increased influence on urology and graduating residents' limited awareness of guidelines and legislations, postgraduate medical educators should encourage residents to become more familiar with current online communication recommendations.

“…The third most popular website in the world, YouTube, is a source of user-uploaded video content [5]. Several studies have assessed the quality or usefulness of videos on YouTube for various specialties [6][7][8][9][10]. However, only two have addressed how the use of YouTube may affect patient care in otolaryngology to teach the Epley maneuver [7] as well as its usefulness as a source of information in pediatric tonsillectomy [11].…”

Objective: To evaluate the content and quality of the information presented on websites about urological disorders. "Varicocele" and "varicocelectomy" were chosen as pilot subjects. Materials and methods:The terms "varicocele" and "varicocelectomy" were searched with the three different Internet search engines used most commonly in Turkey. First 10 websites shown as the result of searching were included in the study. After eliminating repeated websites from a pool of 60 websites, 20 websites were enrolled in the study. The contents of the websites were evaluated and scored out of 14 points according to accuracy and factual extent for certain topics, according to the European Urology Association Guidelines. Results:Of the 20 websites that were evaluated, 4 were evaluated and managed by urologists, 4 by gynecologists, 5 by commercial companies, and 7 by unknown owners. The mean score of websites offering information about varicocele and varicocelectomy was 7.05±2.98 (range 2-13). Websites established by urologists included the most accurate and complete information (mean score 10.25±3.09). Conclusion:This is the first study evaluating the content of websites on a urologic illness in Turkey. Healthrelated information in such websites should be evaluated by specialists; moreover, this information should be accredited within the framework of specific standards to prevent disinformation. This topic requires further study.
