Evaluating the quality of educational TikTok videos on diabetic retinopathy: a cross-sectional study
The quality of DR-related educational short videos on TikTok varies widely, with the source of the video emerging as the key determinant. High-quality content from non-profit organizations and medical professional users not only demonstrates greater reliability but also fosters comprehensive health education. Strengthening professional participation, platform regulation, and evidence-informed communication strategies is essential to maximize the potential of short videos in DR health education and ultimately improve patient outcomes.
