Medical Misinformation and Quality of Public Video Content on Cannabis for Chronic Pain Management: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of the YouTube Platform.

As cannabis legalization expands nationally and globally, its use for chronic pain increases, prompting people to seek information on social media platforms like YouTube. This study evaluates the accuracy and quality of information of popular YouTube videos on cannabis for chronic pain. Using search terms related to cannabis for pain, the top 66 videos by view count were selected. Each video was classified as useful, misleading, or neither. The quality and reliability of each video were assessed using the modified DISCERN, mDISCERN, score and the Global Quality Scale, GQS. The video characteristics, usefulness classification, mDISCERN scores, and GQS scores were summarized. Continuous and categorical outcomes were compared using t-test and chi-square, respectively. Of the 66 videos, 22.73% (n=15) were classified as useful, and 77.27% (n=51) were classified as neither. Of useful videos, 40.00% (n=6) were uploaded by physicians, 40.00% (n=6) were uploaded by corporations, and 6.67% (n=1) were uploaded by an independent user. Of videos classified as neither useful nor misleading, news sources uploaded 27.45% (n=14) of these videos (P=0.02). Physicians uploaded 37.50% (n = 18) of videos with a GQS score ≥3 (P=0.04), while independent users uploaded significantly more videos with a mDISCERN score <3 (22.20%, P=0.02). Useful videos had a mean GQS of 4.00 ± 0.65 compared to a mean GQS of 2.76 ± 0.86 for videos deemed neither (P<0.0001). This study suggests a moderate quality of YouTube content on cannabis use for chronic pain. Given cannabis's growing popularity and potential for misinformation on popular social media platforms, healthcare professionals and organizations should consider uploading educational videos on this topic on YouTube.

Impact of Informative Videos on Proxy Consent by Parents for Pediatric Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial

ABSTRACT Background: Consent is never truly exercised in children as parents act as their proxy and often do not understand the advantages, disadvantages, risks, and benefits of the procedure. Their high anxiety state is mirrored in the child, leading to slower recovery. Hence, this study was designed to understand if an intervention can impact the effect of consent on parents’ anxiety, satisfaction, and knowledge. Methodology: A two-arm, parallel design, randomized controlled trial was conducted from March 2020 to March 2022 to analyze the effect of an educational video in comparison to an informational leaflet in parents giving proxy consents for various listed pediatric surgical procedures. Results: Parents in the video group had a higher mean knowledge score (6.97 vs. 6.77, P = 0.40), comparable satisfaction scores (27.45 vs. 27.58, P = 0.88), and statistically insignificant difference between anxiety scores. We noted highest score of satisfaction (28.5/40) in the parents educated up to High School level or less. Knowledge scores were lowest in pelvic-ureteric junction obstruction (5.1/10) patients. Conclusions: Our study done over a period of 2 years included a variety of diagnoses, and the videos and information leaflets were self-designed. It showed comparable anxiety, knowledge, or satisfaction in parents. Studies with more participants would be needed to take this research forward.

Assessing the efficacy of an educational video on stroke knowledge in Lebanon: a single-arm interventional study

ObjectiveThis study aimed to assess the public’s knowledge of stroke before and after viewing an educational video about stroke risk factors, preventive measures, and alarming signs.MethodsA single-arm interventional study was conducted in Lebanon using a 3-minute video-based education about stroke. A pre- and post-structured questionnaire compared the level of knowledge about stroke.ResultsThe study included 685 participants. Knowledge of stroke, risk factors, warning signs, treatment, and preventive measures significantly increased post-educational video sessions. A higher baseline knowledge score was associated with a family history of stroke (Beta = 1.76) and being a healthcare professional (Beta = 3.35). Participants between 25 and 34 years (Beta=-1.39) and those with a high risk of stroke (Beta=-1.03) were significantly associated with a lower knowledge score.ConclusionThis study demonstrated the effectiveness of a video-based educational tool to raise awareness about stroke. Short, targeted audio-visual resources using lay language can convey health education messages and influence behavioral changes. The community can benefit from a large-scale educational campaign that targets different socio-economic statuses to enhance knowledge of stroke and save lives.

Determining the influence of data on working with video materials on the accuracy of student success prediction models

The object of this study is models for predicting students’ success, constructed on the basis of machine learning methods. The paper reports results of research into the problem of improving their accuracy by expanding the data set for training the specified models. The most available are data on student actions, which are automatically collected by learning management systems. Entering additional information about students’ work increases time and resources but allows the improvement of the accuracy of the models. In the study, information about students’ work with video materials, particularly the number and duration of views, was entered into the original data set. To automate the collection of this data, the plugin for the Moodle system has been developed, which stores information about user’s actions with the video player and the duration of watching video materials in the database. Model training was carried out using Naive Bayes (NB), logistic regression (LR), random forest (RF), and neural networks (NN) algorithms with and without video data. For the models using video viewing data, accuracy increased by 10 %, balanced accuracy by 15 %, and overall performance, expressed as area under the curve (AUC), increased by 14 %. The highest prediction accuracy, with a difference of 1.8 %, was obtained by models built using RF algorithms – 87.1 % and NN – 85.3 %. At the same time, the accuracy of the models obtained by the NB and LR algorithms was 70.7 % and 76.5 %. The increase in accuracy for them was 2.3 % and 8.1 %, respectively. Analysis of calculations confirms the assumption that students’ work with educational video materials is correlated with their success. The results make it possible to find a reasonable compromise between model development costs and its accuracy at the stage of data preparation for model training.

A Real-Life Laboratory Setting for Clinical Practice, Education, and Research in Family Systems Care: Protocol for a Transformational Action Research Study.

Burdening health and illness issues such as physical or mental illnesses, accidents, disabilities, and life events such as birth or death influence the health and functioning of families and contribute to the complexity of care and health care costs. Considerable research has confirmed the benefits of a family systems-centered care approach for patients, family caregivers, families, and health care professionals. However, health care professionals face barriers in working with families, such as feeling unprepared. Family systems-centered therapeutic conversations support families' day-to-day coping, resilience, and health. A family systems care unit (FSCU) was recently established as a real-life laboratory at one of the Swiss Universities of Applied Sciences. In this unit, health care professionals offer therapeutic conversations to families and individual family members to support daily symptom management and functioning, soften suffering, and increase health and well-being. These conversations are observed in real time through a 1-way window by other health care professionals, students, and trainees and are recorded with video for research and education. Little is known about how therapeutic conversations contribute to meaningful changes in burdened families and the benefits of vicarious learning in a real-life laboratory setting for family systems care. In this research program, we aim to deepen our understanding of how therapeutic conversations support families and individuals experiencing burdening health and illness issues and how the FSCU laboratory setting supports the learning of students, clinical trainees, and health care professionals. Here we apply a transformational action research design, including parallel and subsequent substudies, to advance knowledge and practice in family systems care. Qualitative multiple-case study designs will be used to explore the benefits of therapeutic conversations by analyzing recordings of the therapeutic conversations. The learning processes of students, trainees, and professionals will be investigated with descriptive qualitative study designs based on single and focus group interviews. The data will be analyzed with established coding methods. Therapeutic conversations have been investigated in 3 single-case studies, each involving a sequence of 3 therapeutic conversation units. Data collection regarding the second research question is planned. Preliminary results confirm the therapeutic conversations to support families' coping. This renders the FSCU a setting for ethically sensitive research. This program will not only support the health and well-being of families, but also contribute to relieving the financial and workforce burdens in the health and social care system.

Health promotion interventions for children and adolescents using e-health: a systematic review

Abstract Background The utilization of e-health in healthcare interventions has become increasingly prevalent due to its cost-effectiveness. Nevertheless, there is a paucity of evidence regarding the use of e-health in children, as the majority of e-health interventions are focused on adults. This study aimed to identify the components and effects of e-health intervention for the promotion of children’s health and to suggest strategies for their implementation. Methods A systematic review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. A literature review of relevant studies published between January 2013 and November 2023 was conducted. A search of databases including PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Review Library was conducted using a combination of medical subject headings (MeSH) and keywords. A qualitative appraisal of the studies was conducted using the revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials (RoB 2). Results Sixteen studies were selected. Most studies showed good methodological quality. The majority of studies (n = 15) focused on improving children’s physical health, while only one study focused on mental health. There were a variety of components to the intervention, including internet education, web-based home-exercise, serious games, mobile apps, email counseling, and active video games, and only one type of intervention was provided, or a combination with additional methods such as phone calls and counseling. A review of the literature indicates that e-health interventions have been effective in increasing children’s physical activity, reducing weight, relieving stress, and reducing depression. Conclusions This study identified the effectiveness of e-health interventions for improving children’s physical and mental health. The use of e-health to promote children’s health should be actively developed and implemented in a variety of clinical and community settings. Key messages • E-health interventions have been demonstrated to be an effective means of improving the physical and mental health of children and adolescents. • It is recommended that health promotion interventions utilizing e-health be developed and tested in a variety of communities and settings for children and adolescents.

Using Animation to Address Disparities in Kidney Transplantation

ABSTRACT This essay reviews an arts-based project based in Buffalo, New York, seeking to educate patients with kidney failure and their social network about the transplantation process. Through a multi-phase arts-based research project, informed by a community-based steering committee and key stakeholders, 33 educational animated videos were developed and tested for efficacy in samples of diverse patients at a regional transplant center. Animation was chosen for its potential to better explain health concepts more sensibly to patients and support knowledge dissemination to their social network, who may donate a kidney or support a recipient or donor. The videos are 2D, short in duration, and designed for easy viewing on small devices using characters, scenes, narration, and movement. Aesthetic choices reinforce learning: characters have confident posture, memorable features (e.g. hair style, clothing color) with minimal detail, and model diverse races, ethnicities, gender, and body types. Scenes feature light backgrounds, illuminate main images, and are as large as possible for small screens. Narration is slow, calm, and uses strategic pauses to introduce concepts. Movement is selective to reinforce the message (signaling). The animation was guided by self-efficacy theory and the cognitive theory of multimedia learning. Findings to date indicate promising results with respect to patient knowledge and the feasibility of using animation to address disparities in kidney transplantation. Figures illustrate the evolution of the project and provide examples of the art used to capture a given aspect of the transplantation process.

Evaluation of the Educational Quality of Endonasal Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy Videos on YouTube with IVORY and LAP-VEGaS Guidelines.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the educational quality of endonasal endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (EE-DCR) videos on YouTube with Instructional Videos in Otorhinolaryngology by YO-IFOS (IVORY) and LAParoscopic surgery Video Educational GuidelineS (LAP-VEGaS) guidelines and to evaluate the correlation of the 2 guidelines. Methods: EE-DCR videos were queried using search terms on YouTube. Views, likes, likes/dislikes ratio, age, and length of videos were noted. Videos were evaluated using the IVORY and LAP-VEGaS guidelines. Two IVORY scores were created: total (IVORY-1) and organ-specific (IVORY-2). The correlation analysis between video features and guideline scores was performed. Results: A total of 61 EE-DCR videos were evaluated. The mean score of LAP-VEGaS was 10.3 (±SD 2.7), the mean IVORY-1 score was 22.5 (±SD 5.5), and the mean IVORY-2 score was 10.6 (±SD 1.94). Correlation analysis revealed a statistically significant correlation between the IVORY-1 total score and the number of likes, the duration of the video, the age of the video, and the LAP-VEGaS score. Linear regression analysis showed that higher IVORY-1 scores predicted longer video duration, newer video age, and higher LAP-VEGaS scores. There was a significant association between LAP-VEGaS categories and the IVORY-1 total score (P < .001). Conclusion: The quality of EE-DCR videos is generally low to moderate. The IVORY and LAP-VEGaS guidelines were found to be correlated with each other. Both guidelines can be used to evaluate EE-DCR videos and otolaryngology surgical education videos in general. We believe that scales such as IVORY and LAP-VEGaS may be improved according to specific surgical procedures.

Which videos are better for the students? Analyzing the student behavior and video metadata

Due to its inherent flexibility and adaptability, e-learning has become a versatile and effective educational option, with video-based learning (VBL) enabling asynchronous engagement. Despite the wealth of video resources, evaluating their effectiveness remains challenging. This study employs a comprehensive approach, analyzing student behavior and video metadata to assess educational videos’ efficacy. Metrics such as average playback speed, video and course completion rates, and video metadata were examined using the XuetangX dataset, MOOC- CubeX. Results indicate that viewing patterns are more influenced by students’ choices than by video content. Well-conceptualized videos increase viewing time, with 17 % of students engaging with videos over 30 min if they cover focused topics. While shorter videos generally have higher completion rates, many remain untouched. Playback speed analysis shows a preference for standard speed, with positive correlations between speed and both completion percentage and viewing time. Courses under 5 h are likely to be watched for less than an hour, reflecting brief viewing durations. Metadata analysis reveals that generic titles may deter engagement, underscoring the importance of precise tagging and content relevance for enhancing student interaction.

A short-term evaluation of oral hygiene education methods in fixed orthodontics patients: a randomized clinical trial comparing assistant training, software, and social media

ObjectiveTo compare the effectiveness of different oral hygiene education strategies on periodontal health in fixed orthodontic patients in a one-month period: assistant-led instruction, social media-based education, and custom-made software.MethodsSixty orthodontic patients from Mashhad University of Medical Sciences’ Dentistry School were randomly assigned into three groups. Each group received oral health education differently: via assistant instruction, educational videos on social media, or a researcher-designed software for Android smartphones. After a month, participants’ oral health was evaluated using the plaque index (PI) and the gingival index (GI).ResultsAssistant-led education group demonstrated the highest PI (1.26 ± 0.70) and GI (0.92 ± 0.67), while the software group reported the lowest indices (PI = 0.68, GI = 0.46 ± 0.46). The social media group’s measurements fell between these extremes (PI = 0.89 ± 0.75, GI = 0.60 ± 0.52). Significant group differences were found for both PI and GI (P = 0.028 and P = 0.047, respectively). Pairwise comparison revealed significantly lower PI and GI in the software group compared to the assistant group. No significant differences were found between the social media and other groups.ConclusionOur results suggest that the use of specially designed software could be the most effective strategy for improving oral hygiene in orthodontic patients. Meanwhile, traditional assistant-led education showed the least effectiveness. The study supports the potential benefit of utilizing digital tools, such as bespoke software and social media, in oral health education for orthodontic patients.Trial registrationThe study was registered in the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT) database with the identification code IRCT20200609047705N2 in 13.07.2021.
