Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the testicular cancer self-examination (TSE) videos on YouTube. Material and Methods: This study was conducted to evaluate the content, reliability and quality of internet videos related to TSE. The search engine of YouTube® was queried for the keyword 'TSE' in April 01, 2019. Videos were scaled according to the time since upload day, running time, number of comments and number of like/dislike. All videos were also categorized according to source into 3 groups: Health information websites/TV programs; independent users; university channels/medical professionals. DISCERN questionnaire score (DISCERN) Journal of the American Medical Association benchmark criteria (JAMAS), Global Quality Scores (GQS), TSE-Comprehensiveness (TSE-C) and Video Power Index (VPI) were used. Results: Total of 68 videos were included and 32 of videos were excluded due to being unrelated or repeated. When VPI values were examined according to the video source, there was no statistically significant difference (p>0.05). According to the video source, there was a statistically significant difference in terms of DISCERN scores (p=0.049) and TSE-C scores (p=0.019). DISCERN scores of the videos whose source is university channels/medical professionals are higher than the DISCERN scores of the videos whose source is independent users (p=0.042). There was a statistically significant difference in terms of JAMAS scores (p=0.009). Conclusion: It is concluded that the information of TSE videos on YouTube is a weak source when evaluated in terms of reliability, benefit and quality.

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, YouTube'da testis kanseri kendi kendine muayene (TSE) videolarını değerlendirmekti. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışma, TSE ile ilgili internet videolarının içeriğini, güvenirliğini ve kalitesini değerlendirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. YouTube® arama motorunda 01 Nisan 2019'da "TSE" anahtar kelimesi sorgulandı. İlk 100 video değerlendirildi. Videolar, yüklendiği günden beri geçen süre, video süresi, yorum sayısı ve beğenme/beğenmeme sayılarına göre ölçeklendirildi. Tüm videolar da kaynağa göre sağlık bilgilendirme web siteleri/TV programları; bağımsız kullanıcılar ve üniversite kanalları/tıp uzmanları olarak 3 gruba ayrıldı. Tüketici Sağlığı Bilgileri Kalite Kriterleri (DISCERN), Amerikan Tabipler Birliği Dergisi Karşılaştırma Kriterleri (JAMAS), Küresel Kalite Puanı kriterleri (GQS), TSE-Kapsam (TSE-C) ve Video Güç İndeksi (VPI) kullanıldı. Bulgular: Toplam 68 video dahil edildi ve 32 video alakasız olması veya tekrarlanması nedeniyle çıkarıldı. Video kaynağına göre VPI değerleri incelendiğinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark yoktu (p>0,05). Video kaynağına göre DISCERN puanları (p=0,049) ve TSE-C puanları (p=0,019) açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark vardı. Kaynağı üniversite kanalları / tıp uzmanları olan videoların DISCERN puanları, kaynağı bağımsız kullanıcılar olan videoların DISCERN puanlarından daha yüksekti (p=0,042). JAMAS puanları açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık vardı (p=0,009). Sonuç: YouTube'daki TSE videolarının bilgilerinin güvenilirlik, fayda ve kalite açısından değerlendirildiğinde zayıf bir kaynak olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.
