Conclusions
YouTube is one of the popular platforms for presenting healthcare
information and developing skills. In light of these results, it is
important to evaluate viewers’ behavior according to video uploaders.
Therefore, the number of videos posted on video-sharing websites such as
YouTube presenting accurate and reliable information about diseases and
treatments should be increased, and these videos should be allowed to be
published after the approval of institutions such as healthcare
associations and universities. In addition, YouTube must promptly remove
videos that may lead to dangerous treatment for patients or that may
contain false information. High-quality educational videos that cover
all aspects of treatment options are desperately needed to properly fill
the gaps in the YouTube archive. We consider that further studies in
urology and other medical fields will contribute to the quality and
reliability of health-related video content.
