dc.description.abstractObjectives: This study aimed to examine YouTube video content as a general source of information about dysphagia in individuals with dementia. Materials and Methods: In this study, videos about dysphagia in individuals with dementia uploaded to the YouTube platform on June 4, 2023, were analyzed using the keywords “swallowing in dementia,” “swallowing disorders in dementia,” and “dysphagia in dementia.” Modified DISCERN was used to assess the reliability of the videos, the Global Quality Scale to assess their quality, the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) benchmark criteria to assess their transparency, and the Video Power Index to calculate their popularity. Twenty-four videos uploaded between October 21, 2009, and October 31, 2022 were included in the final content analysis. Results: Speech and language therapists/pathologists (SLPs) uploaded 54.17% of the videos, 37.50% were uploaded by non-SLP health workers, and 8.33% were uploaded by other individuals. Global Quality Scale scores were positively correlated with JAMA and video duration and negatively correlated with the number of days elapsed. There was a statistically significant difference in the duration, number of views, number of likes, comments, and JAMA mean scores among video sources (SLP vs. non-SLP health workers; p<0.05). Conclusion: The number of videos about swallowing and swallowing disorders in individuals with dementia on YouTube is low; popularity does not reflect high quality, reliability, or competence. Therefore, health professionals working in this field, such as speech-language pathologists, neurologists, and otolaryngologists, should increase the number of informative and guiding videos and ensure that videos that are considered accurate are communicated to the patient and caregiver/relative.
