Introduction: in today's digital age, individuals have easy access to health information, particularly through platforms like YouTube. However, the quality of the information on YouTube is often questionable due to the vast number of videos uploaded. Therefore, it is essential for the public to possess good health literacy skills.
Method: the MQ-VET is an instrument that can be used to assess the quality of information found on YouTube. This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the quality of YouTube videos related to fractures. The participants included healthcare workers and members of the general public from Kediri District Hospital. Respondents were divided into two groups and evaluated three specific videos. The assessment of video quality utilized the MQ-VET instrument. The data collected were analyzed using the Friedman test, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and the Mann-Whitney test.
Results: the results of the study indicated significant differences in quality scores between videos 1 and 2, as well as between videos 1 and 3. However, there were no significant differences in quality scores between videos 2 and 3. Additionally, the study found no differences in scores between healthcare workers and the general public. This highlights the need to improve health literacy skills so that all individuals can critically assess the information they receive, especially from YouTube
