Good-quality videos were highly rated if the length of the video was long, if the physician was the speaker, or if the purpose of the video was to provide information. In the future production of early dementia videos, verified information on the definition, diagnosis, symptoms, comparison, and management and according to the type of dementia is needed. As a professional information provider, nurses are required to expand the use of YouTube as a source of information on early dementia.
