Purpose: This scoping review investigated the content and quality of YouTube videos on women¡¯s health.
Methods: A literature search of the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, ERIC, and RISS databases was performed using the keywords ¡°(¡®youtube¡¯/exp OR youtube OR ¡®social media¡¯/exp OR ¡®social media¡¯ OR ((¡®social¡¯/exp OR social) AND (¡®media¡¯/exp OR media))) AND (¡®female health care¡¯ OR ((¡®female¡¯/exp OR female) AND (¡®health¡¯/exp OR health) AND (¡®care¡¯/exp OR care)))¡± from February 21 to 27, 2023. Peer-reviewed analytic studies in English or Korean that focused on women¡¯s health using YouTube were included.
Results: The review identified 21 articles that covered various themes related to women¡¯s health, such as breast cancer, urinary disease, sexual health, pelvic organ prolapse, the human papillomavirus vaccine, Papanikolaou smears, contraception, women¡¯s health information during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, obstetric epidural anesthesia, and placenta accreta. However, the overall quality of the content was low, inaccurate, unreliable, and misleading.
Conclusion: This scoping review demonstrated that YouTube videos on women¡¯s health covered diverse topics, but the quality of the content needed improvement. More reliable and high-quality videos produced by academic institutes and healthcare professionals specializing in women¡¯s health are needed for social media to be usable as a reliable source of women¡¯s health information. The high number of views and shares received by the videos underscores the importance of providing accurate and reliable information on women¡¯s health.
