The aim of this study was to determine the reliability, popularity and quality of YouTube videos as a patient\u2011education resource on felon (finger pulp abscess).\r\nMaterials and Methods:  On 28\u202fDecember\u202f2024 the keywords \u201cFelon Finger\u201d and\/or \u201cFinger Felon\u201d were entered into the YouTube search engine. Of roughly 51\u202f000 results, the first 50 were evaluated. Videos were analysed according to source and content using the Video Power Index (VPI), Quality Criteria for Consumer Health Information (DISCERN), Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) benchmark criteria, Global Quality Score (GQS) and Felon Specific Score (FSS). All scores were assigned independently by three observer surgeons and analysed using their mean values.\r\nResults:  Comparisons of VPI, JAMA, DISCERN, GQS, and FSS by video source and content revealed significant differences for JAMA, GQS, and FSS according to source, but no significant difference for VPI. Medical\u2011source videos had significantly lower JAMA scores than those by physicians and non\u2011physician healthcare workers (p\u202f<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.36516\/jocass.1750741","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,21]],"date-time":"2025-10-21T07:10:42Z","timestamp":1761030642000},"page":"301-306","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Quality And Reliability Of YouTube Videos As A Source Of Information About Felon"],"prefix":"10.36516","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7213-5647","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Mehmet Murat","family":"Bala","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"HACETTEPE UNIVERSITY"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5451-4678","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Hilmi","family":"Alkan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ankara Etlik City Hospital"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3451-3691","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ali Said","family":"Nazl\u0131g\u00fcl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sincan Training and Research Hospital"}]}],"member":"22431","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"1.Patel DB, Emmanuel NB, Stevanovic MV, et al.
