The quality and content analysis of YouTube videos about chemotherapy for children.

PURPOSE: This study undertook a systematic examination of YouTube videos about chemotherapy for pediatric patients, with a primary focus on assessing the videos' quality, content, and reliability. METHOD: The research was conducted by searching YouTube using the keywords "chemotherapy for children" and "chemotherapy for pediatric," employing filters for "worldwide" and "all categories." The top 100 videos, based on popularity, were selected for evaluation according to the power analysis calculation. Two independent experts in pediatric oncology reviewed these videos. Video characteristics were recorded: length, view count, likes, dislikes, view ratio, and video-like ratio. The Video Power Index was calculated to measure video popularity. The modified DISCERN and Global Quality Scale (GQS) assessed the videos for quality and reliability. RESULTS: The 100 videos were analyzed. Official health institutions uploaded 54%, while independent users contributed 46%. Independent user uploads garnered significantly more views than official health institutions (p = .006). The number of likes, view ratio, and Video Power Index of independent users' videos were significantly higher than official health institutions' videos (respectively, p = .007, .007, and .008). On the other hand, the modified DISCERN score and GQS were significantly higher in YouTube videos of official health institutions than in independent users (p < .001). A strong correlation was observed between the modified DISCERN score and GQS (r = .879, p < .001). CONCLUSION: This study provides valuable insights into the YouTube videos on pediatric chemotherapy, emphasizing the need to improve the quality and reliability of online health information for this vulnerable population.

Pediatric asthma inhaler technique: quality and content analysis of YouTube videos.

BACKGROUND: Proper technique for using inhalers is crucial in treating pediatric asthma. YouTube offers a wide range of videos on pediatric inhaler technique, but there is a need to analyze the quality, reliability, and content of these resources. AIMS: This study aims to analyze the quality, reliability, and content of YouTube videos on pediatric asthma inhaler techniques. METHODS: The study has a descriptive, retrospective, and cross-sectional design. The research was conducted by searching YouTube using the "Pediatric Metered Dose Inhaler," "Pediatric Accuhaler," and "Pediatric Diskus." The video's popularity was measured using the Video Power Index. The quality and reliability of the videos were evaluated using the modified DISCERN and Global Quality Scale (GQS). RESULTS: This study analyzed 55 YouTube videos on the pediatric inhaler technique. 19 of the videos were related to the pMDI inhaler with a spacer for tidal breathing, 14 pMDI inhaler with a spacer for single breath, and 22 diskus device. Findings show that videos demonstrating the use of pMDI devices for single breath have more reliable modified DISCERN scores. However, videos related to tidal breathing are more popular than those showing the use of diskus devices and single breath. Based on the checklist for videos on diskus devices, the steps with the highest error rates are 'Check dose counter' at 72.7% and 'Breathe out gently, away from the inhaler' at 63.6%. A moderate correlation was observed between the modified DISCERN score and the GQS. CONCLUSIONS: While YouTube videos on the pMDI single-breath technique may be useful for pediatric patients and caregivers, it is crucial for them to receive inhaler technique education from their healthcare provider. This study's findings hold great significance for pediatric patients and caregivers, particularly those who rely on YouTube for health-related information.

Paediatric nurses' perspectives on artificial intelligence applications: A cross-sectional study of concerns, literacy levels and attitudes.

AIMS: This study aimed to explore the correlation between artificial intelligence (AI) literacy, AI anxiety and AI attitudes among paediatric nurses, as well as identify the influencing factors on paediatric nurses' AI attitudes. DESIGN: A descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional research. METHODS: This study was conducted between January and February 2024 with 170 nurses actively working in paediatric clinics in Turkey. The data collection tools included the Nurse Information Form, the General Attitudes Towards Artificial Intelligence Scale (GAAIS), the Artificial Intelligence Literacy Scale (AILS) and the Artificial Intelligence Anxiety Scale (AIAS). To determine the associations between the variables, the data was analysed using IBM SPSS 28, which included linear regression and Pearson correlation analysis. RESULTS: The study indicated significant positive correlations between paediatric nurses' age and their AIAS scores (r = .226; p < .01) and significant negative correlations between paediatric nurses' age and their AILS (r = -.192; p < .05) and GAAIS scores (r = -.152; p < .05). The GAAIS was significantly predictive (p < .000) and accounted for 50% of the variation in AIAS and AILS scores. CONCLUSION: Paediatric nurses' attitudes towards AI significantly predicted AI literacy and AI anxiety. The relationship between the age of the paediatric nurses and the anxiety, AI literacy and attitudes towards AI was demonstrated. Healthcare and educational institutions should create customized training programs and awareness-raising activities for older nurses, as there are noticeable variations in the attitudes of paediatric nurses towards AI based on their age. IMPLICATIONS FOR PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: Providing in-service AI training can help healthcare organizations improve paediatric nurses' attitudes towards AI, increase their AI literacy and reduce their anxiety. This training has the potential to impact their attitudes positively and reduce their anxiety. REPORTING METHOD: The study results were critically reported using STROBE criteria. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.

Effects of technology-based interventions on chemotherapy-induced nausea, vomiting, and quality of life in pediatric patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

PURPOSE: This study aims to synthesize and analyze the impact of technology-based interventions on chemotherapy-induced nausea, vomiting, and quality of life in pediatric patients. DESIGN AND METHODS: Seven electronic databases were searched: PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, and Google Scholar. The JBI checklist assessed the studies' methodological quality. This study was performed based on the PRISMA checklist. RESULTS: This review incorporated five published studies, exploratory randomized controlled trials, and non-randomized pre and post-test control group studies involving 232 pediatric oncology patients receiving chemotherapy. The meta-analysis revealed a significant impact of technology-based interventions on alleviating chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (Hedge's g = -0.707, Q = 9.61, I2 = 47.97%, p < 0.001). It was found that a significant effect of technology-based interventions on the patient's quality of life was observed (Hedge's g = -0.745, Q = 5.431, I2 = 63.74%, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicated that technology-based interventions have significant potential in managing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting and quality of life. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Future research endeavors should explore this aspect further, employing a broader range of outcome measures and longer-term follow-up assessments better to understand their impact on pediatric oncology patients' well-being.

The incidence and prevalence of medical device-related pressure injuries in pediatric patients: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

PROBLEM: To determine the pooled incidence and prevalence rate of medical device-related pressure injuries(MDRPIs) using the Braden QD scale, medical devices that frequently cause MDRPIs, and anatomical locations that are vulnerable to them. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: Using the Braden QD scale, being published in English between 01/01/2018-and 01/03/2023. METHODS: This study was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis recommendations and registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews database (No: CRD42021276501). SAMPLE: A total of 7 studies with 25,742 pediatric patients were included. RESULTS: The pooled prevalence and cumulative incidence of hospital-acquired pressure injuries(HAPIs) were 7.8% (95% CI: 5.2-11.4%) and 3.9% (95% CI: 0.5-24.6%) respectively, and the incidence rate was 8.2/1000 person-days (95% CI: 2.4-14.2/1000 person-days). The pooled prevalence and cumulative incidence of MDRPIs were 7% (95% CI: 5.5-8.8%) and 5% (95% CI: 3.2-7.8%) respectively, and the incidence rate was 6.7/1000 person-days (95% CI, 0.11-13.4/1000 person-days). The most affected anatomical locations were the face (29.1%), ankle/foot (20.1%), and head (15.7%). Medical devices that frequently caused MDRPIs were external monitoring devices (24.5%), respiratory devices (22.8%), and supportive/securing devices (14.9%). CONCLUSIONS: According to the current systematic review and meta-analyses, the incidence and prevalence of HAPIs and MDRPIs are moderate to high. IMPLICATIONS: The findings suggested that healthcare providers should pay more attention to reducing HAPIs and MDRPIs and future studies should be conducted to understand their characteristics and risk factors.

Examination of Pediatric Nurses' Knowledge of Anaphylaxis: A Descriptive Study.

Anaphylaxis is a vital systemic allergic reaction. A rapid diagnosis of anaphylaxis is lifesaving. In most cases, nurses are the first to encounter and intervene in anaphylaxis. Therefore, they have a vital responsibility in such cases. The aim of this study is to create a questionnaire and evaluate the anaphylaxis knowledge levels of pediatric nurses. This is a descriptive type of study. The study took place in Turkey. 80 pediatric nurses who work in pediatric intensive care, neonatal intensive care, child service, and pediatric emergency service participated in the study. The sociodemographic data collection form and the anaphylaxis knowledge level assessment form was used for the study. ANOVA and t-test are used to evaluate the data. The average anaphylaxis knowledge score of the pediatric nurses was found 12.61 ± 2.61, therefore it's moderate. The reliability of the questionnaire was high. Knowledge levels were moderately sufficient in diagnoses and insufficient in treatment and follow-up. Considering how critical anaphylaxis is, the moderately sufficient and insufficient knowledge levels are not substantial and should be increased advancedly. The questionnaire created for this study can be used in future studies. Health institutions should plan training regarding anaphylaxis and recompose anaphylaxis training in general, elaborate treatment and follow-up, and assess pediatric nurses' knowledge periodically.
