Summary
This summary is machine-generated.YouTube videos on ostomy care lack sufficient content, reliability, and quality. This review highlights the need for better educational resources for ostomy patients and caregivers to ensure safe practices.
Area Of Science
- Medical education
- Digital health
- Patient education
Background
- Online video platforms are increasingly used for health information dissemination.
- Ostomy care requires accurate and reliable information for patient self-management.
- Previous assessments of online health videos indicate variable quality.
Purpose Of The Study
- To evaluate the content, reliability, and quality of YouTube videos on fecal and urinary ostomy care.
- To identify potential deficiencies in online ostomy care educational resources.
- To inform the development of improved ostomy care video content.
Main Methods
- A structured search of YouTube was conducted using ostomy care keywords.
- 101 videos were screened, with 36 meeting inclusion criteria for analysis.
- Content, reliability, and quality were assessed using validated instruments: The Rubric, DISCERN Questionnaire, and Global Quality Scale (GQS).
Main Results
- Videos covered colostomy (30.56%), ileostomy (19.45%), urostomy (11.10%), and general ostomy care (38.89%).
- Nearly half were educational (47.2%), and over half featured healthcare professionals (58.3%).
- Mean scores for content (20.89), quality (2.08 GQS), and reliability (2.47 DISCERN) were all below average.
Conclusions
- YouTube videos on ostomy care demonstrate below-average content, quality, and reliability.
- Inaccurate information may lead to improper ostomy care practices.
- There is a critical need for high-quality ostomy care videos aligned with best practices.

Introduction
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:
A colostomy involves bringing a part or section of the colon, or large...
Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:
Strictureplasty
Proctocolectomy or total colectomy with ileostomy
Restorative proctocolectomy with Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis
Surgical management and nursing care are crucial in treating Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD). Here is an organized and enhanced overview of the surgical interventions and the associated nursing care for PUD:

Vagotomy: This procedure aims to reduce gastric acid secretion by cutting a portion of the vagus nerve. While effective, its frequency has declined due to the availability of effective acid-suppressing medications. It may be performed with or...
Diagnosing and managing appendicitis requires a structured and comprehensive approach that spans from initial assessment to postoperative care. Here is an overview of the process:
Diagnosing Appendicitis
It requires a multifaceted approach, starting with a detailed physical examination to pinpoint the location and nature of the pain and identify any associated symptoms. Laboratory tests play a crucial role. A complete Blood Count (CBC) typically reveals leukocytosis (an increased number of...
Managing Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) involves a multifaceted approach, including lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, and medication.
Lifestyle adjustments often incorporate stress reduction techniques like yoga, meditation, and regular physical activity to alleviate symptoms like bloating and constipation.
A critical component of dietary management is the introduction of soluble fiber, which can be found in foods like oats, barley, apples, and carrots. Restricting and then gradually...
Evaluating the rectum and anus plays a crucial role in conducting a thorough physical examination of the gastrointestinal system. Although it may be uncomfortable and often embarrassing for the patient, it holds immense diagnostic value, particularly in detecting gastrointestinal diseases and abnormalities. This guide will explain how to perform this assessment using inspection and palpation methods.
Rectal Inspection
Begin by inspecting the perianal and anal areas for color, texture, rashes,...
