Evaluating YouTube as a Good Resource for Enhancing Patient Understanding of Heart Failure
Our findings confirm that YouTube, a video-sharing website, is essential for easily sharing and spreading health-related information to a broad audience. Increased attention to videos with scientific content and high-quality scores suggests that YouTube provides accurate and quality information about heart failure. While the number of quality posts tends to increase daily, healthcare professionals should be encouraged to share high-quality scientific videos more frequently.
