Abstract:

 Purpose: Thousands of videos about orthognathic surgery OS are shared on TikTok, one of the most popular social media platforms, and these videos receive millions of interactions. However, the quality and reliability of these videos has not been evaluated yet. The aim of this study is to evaluate the reliability and quality of popular videos about OS on TikTok. Material and Methods: The hashtags jawsurgery and orthognathicsurgery were used as search terms, and the first 100 videos were watched for each hashtag. The reliability of the contents was determined by the DISCERN tool and the quality was determined by the Global Quality Scale GQS. Results: After inclusion and exclusion criteria, 122 videos were included in the study. There was no correlation between the number of likes, views, and comments, and DISCERN scores and GQS scores. DISCERN scores and GQS scores increased as the length of the videos increased. 75.4 of the videos had low reliability, while 41.8 had low quality. Conclusion: TikTok videos offer low quality information about OS. Judging by the number of interactions, TikTok can be a useful resource for OS patients to learn. However, OS patients should consult health professionals to verify the accuracy and reliability of the information they obtain from social media platforms and should not accept single-source information.

 Amaç: En popüler sosyal medya platformlarından biri olan TikTokta ortognatik cerrahi OC ile ilgili binlerce video paylaşılmakta ve bu videolar milyonlarca etkileşim almaktadır. Ancak bu videoların kalitesi ve güvenilirliği henüz değerlendirilmemiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, TikTokta OC ile ilgili popüler videoların güvenilirliğini ve kalitesini değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Arama terimleri olarak jawsurgery ve orthognathicsurgery hashtagleri kullanıldı ve her hashtag için ilk 100 video izlendi. İçeriklerin güvenilirliği DISCERN aracıyla, kalitesi ise Küresel Kalite Ölçeği KKÖ ile belirlendi. Bulgular: Dahil etme ve hariç tutma kriterlerinden sonra 122 video çalışmaya dahil edildi. Görüntülenme sayısı, beğeni sayısı ve yorum sayısı ile DISCERN puanları ve KKÖ puanları arasında bir ilişki bulunamadı. Videoların uzunluğu arttıkça DISCERN puanları ve KKÖ puanları da arttı. Videoların 75.4ü düşük güvenilirliğe sahipken, 41.8i düşük kaliteye sahipti. Sonuç: TikTok videoları, OC hakkında düşük kaliteli bilgiler sunar. Etkileşim sayısına bakılırsa TikTok, işletim sistemi hastalarının öğrenmesi için yararlı bir kaynak olabilir. Ancak OC hastalarının sosyal medya platformlarından elde ettikleri bilgilerin doğruluğunu ve güvenilirliğini doğrulamak için sağlık uzmanlarına başvurması ve tek kaynaklı bilgileri kabul etmemesi gerekir.
