From the search results, videos with 50,000 views or more, longer than 45 seconds, and containing information about flatfoot and pes planus disease were selected. DISCERN and JAMA scoring, daily average views, number of likes, and number of comments were collected from 53 videos that met the criteria. The profession of the sharer was evaluated in terms of the information quality of the sharing and the orientation of the audience.\n <\/jats:p>\n \n Results:<\/jats:bold>\n The mean number of views per day of the examined videos was 2,047. The mean video presentation time was 8 minutes 50 seconds. The mean JAMA score was 2 of 4 and the mean DISCERN score was 38.16 of 75. According to the DISCERN score according to the professions, the video quality was moderate for doctors (41.44 \u00b1 12.99), moderate for physiotherapists (41.91 \u00b1 9.04), poor for coaches (32.78 \u00b1 7.87), poor for patients (34.50 \u00b1 5.32), and weak for others (34.89 \u00b1 14.00). According to the Spearman correlation between DISCERN score and mean daily viewing, significant relationships were found for the doctors (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = .0102) and others groups (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = .0033); however, no significant relationships were observed for the physiotherapists group (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = .1073), the flatfoot patients group (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = .5363), and the coaches group (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = .9111). There were significant relationships between like and comment counts in all groups (doctors,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = .0088; coaches,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = .0069; physiotherapists,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = .0007; others,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n =.0018; and patients,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = .0066).\n <\/jats:p>\n \n Conclusions:<\/jats:bold>\n Looking at previous studies, it was observed that the quality of online health information was historically inadequate. Likewise, in our study on YouTube, we found that the quality of flatfoot and pes planus information was poor to moderate.\n <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.7547\/22-168","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,29]],"date-time":"2023-08-29T14:58:26Z","timestamp":1693321106000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Evaluation of YouTube Information Quality About Pes Planus"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"114","author":[{"given":"Hac\u0131 Ali","family":"Ol\u00e7ar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Yozgat Bozok University, Yozgat, Turkey."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Berna","family":"G\u00fcng\u00f6r","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"\u00c7anakkale Onsekiz Mart University, \u00c7anakkale, Turkey."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tolgahan","family":"Kuru","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"\u00c7anakkale Onsekiz Mart University, \u00c7anakkale, Turkey."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Davut","family":"Ayd\u0131n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yozgat Bozok University, Yozgat, Turkey."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G\u00fcrdal","family":"Nusran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"\u00c7anakkale Onsekiz Mart University, \u00c7anakkale, Turkey."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","reference":[{"key":"B1","series-title":"J Foot Ankle Surg","first-page":"78","article-title":"Diagnosis and treatment of adult flatfoot","volume":"44","author":"Lee MS","year":"2005","unstructured":"Lee MS, Vanore JV, Thomas JL, et al: Diagnosis and treatment of adult flatfoot.
