Abstract
Background
Chronic pancreatitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the pancreatic tissue caused by genetic or environmental factors; it has a complex etiology and is difficult to diagnose and treat clinically, severely affecting the physical and mental health of patients. Currently, the treatment of chronic pancreatitis often relies on lifelong self-health management by patients. However, the quality of videos related to chronic pancreatitis on short video platforms remains to be determined, and these videos may contain erroneous information that patients cannot recognize. This study aims to assess the quality of information in short videos related to chronic pancreatitis on the Chinese platforms TikTok and Bilibili.
Methods
Based on comprehensive rankings, the top 100 videos related to chronic pancreatitis on TikTok and Bilibili were searched, filtered, and evaluated by two independent gastroenterologists via the Global Quality Score and the improved DISCERN tool. The content of the videos was analyzed from six aspects: definition, symptoms, risk factors, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes.
Results
A total of 112 videos related to chronic pancreatitis were collected, with the majority (80.36%) being from health professionals, including 20.55% from gastrointestinal health experts and 26.79% from pancreatic surgery specialists. The overall quality and reliability of the videos were relatively low, with DISCERN and GQS scores of 2 (IQR: 2–3) and 3 (IQR: 2–3), respectively. In comparison, videos from gastrointestinal health professionals were more comprehensive in covering chronic pancreatitis content and showed the highest reliability and quality, with DISCERN scores of 3 (IQR: 2–3) and GQS scores of 3 (IQR: 2–3).
Conclusion
Overall, the content and quality of video information related to chronic pancreatitis on the two short video platforms in China still require improvement. In the future, health professionals need to provide high-quality videos to promote effective self-disease management among patients with chronic pancreatitis.
