Health professionals who receive systematic medical education possess disciplinary knowledge that supports the production of accurate health communication. Engaging in health communication can strengthen their ability to translate specialized knowledge into accessible language, a skill that also connects with the competence of continuing medical education.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study aimed to evaluate IVF-related short videos on Douyin and to propose a practical model, 5A, to help health professionals create effective health communication videos.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 137 IVF-related short videos were evaluated using the DISCERN instrument and a sharing engagement index. Multivariable linear regression and Beta regression models were used to identify factors associated with video quality and dissemination efficiency, respectively. Stratified analyses and Spearman\u2019s correlations were further conducted to examine variable distributions and inter-index associations. Additionally, semi-structured interviews with eight stakeholders were conducted to identify production barriers. The findings were integrated to construct the 5A model, a practical instructional model for health education.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The mean DISCERN score was 43.30 (SD: 7.87). A multivariable analysis revealed that longer video duration [\n                      <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f=\u202f2.70, 95% CI: (0.46, 4.94)] and no name tag [\n                      <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f=\u202f\u22123.60, 95% CI: (\u22126.17, \u22121.02)] were significantly associated with DISCERN scores. Beta regression models revealed that video duration [OR\u202f=\u202f1.30, 95% CI: (1.07, 1.57)] and follower count [OR\u202f=\u202f1.07, 95% CI: (1.03, 1.11)] were significantly associated with the sharing engagement index. Additionally, the sharing engagement index showed a weak positive correlation with DISCERN scores (\n                      <jats:italic>\n                        r\n                        <jats:sub>s<\/jats:sub>\n                      <\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f=\u202f0.2,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f=\u202f0.017). Qualitative analysis identified five themes: content quality, language expression, filming presentation, editing production, and speaker characteristics. Based on the results, the 5A model was proposed, consisting of accessibility of language, adaptation of setting, authorization of physicians, attractiveness of content, and appeal of editing.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although algorithms play a role in dissemination, high-quality professional content remains essential for effective dissemination. This study advocates for integrating communication skills into medical health, highlighting the fact that health communication is a teachable competency. The 5A Model offers an actionable framework that enables health professionals to address the training gap to be effective public educators.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpubh.2026.1793096","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,28]],"date-time":"2026-05-28T06:20:28Z","timestamp":1779949228000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Empowering knowledge dissemination: a 5A model for health professionals in IVF health communication through short videos"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Jiacheng","family":"Dan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University","place":["Chengdu, Sichuan, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shuo","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University","place":["Chengdu, Sichuan, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University","place":["Chengdu, Sichuan, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","volume-title":"Infertility Prevalence Estimates, 1990\u20132021","year":"2023"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2101","DOI":"10.3390\/nu17132101","article-title":"The role of lifestyle intervention in female fertility: a modifiable factor for preconception health","volume":"17","author":"Donato","year":"2025","journal-title":"Nutrients"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"742","DOI":"10.1016\/j.fertnstert.2024.03.003","article-title":"Predictors of success after in vitro fertilization","volume":"121","author":"Shingshetty","year":"2024","journal-title":"Fertil Steril"},{"key":"ref4","volume-title":"Report on the Development of Maternal and Child Health in China (2019)","year":"2019"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"470","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mayocp.2023.09.006","article-title":"Infertility: diagnosis and management","volume":"99","author":"Vaughan","year":"2024","journal-title":"Mayo Clin Proc"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"hoae049","DOI":"10.1093\/hropen\/hoae049","article-title":"ART in Europe, 2020: results generated from European registers by ESHRE","volume":"2024","author":"Wyns","year":"2024","journal-title":"Hum Reprod Open"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"37","DOI":"10.1080\/13548506.2016.1218031","article-title":"The effects of anxiety and depression on in vitro fertilization outcomes of Chinese women","volume":"22","author":"Xu","year":"2017","journal-title":"Psychol Health Med"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"69","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rbmo.2022.02.002","article-title":"Effect of acupuncture on IVF-related anxiety: a systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"45","author":"Hullender Rubin","year":"2022","journal-title":"Reprod Biomed Online"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1250.e1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjmed.2018.04.019","article-title":"Online health searches and their perceived effects on patients and patient-clinician relationships: ASystematic review","volume":"131","author":"Wang","year":"2018","journal-title":"Am J Med"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e9","DOI":"10.2196\/jmir.5729","article-title":"Internet health information seeking and the patient-physician relationship: a systematic review","volume":"19","author":"Tan","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Med Internet Res"},{"key":"ref11","year":"2025"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1229","DOI":"10.1186\/s12909-025-07869-2","article-title":"Analysing YouTube as a health resource: quality and reliability of videos on pediatric appendicitis","volume":"25","author":"\u00c7o\u015fkun","year":"2025","journal-title":"BMC Med Educ"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2895","DOI":"10.1007\/s10815-025-03538-x","article-title":"Lost in translation: are doctors really answering patients' questions about in vitro fertilization?","volume":"42","author":"Daram","year":"2025","journal-title":"J Assist Reprod Genet"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1640105","DOI":"10.3389\/fpubh.2025.1640105","article-title":"Quality assessment of short videos on health science popularization in China: scale development and validation","volume":"13","author":"Xuan","year":"2025","journal-title":"Front Public Health"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1790","DOI":"10.3390\/healthcare12171790","article-title":"Information support or emotional support?
