Analysis of YouTube Videos on Endotracheal Tube Aspiration Training in Terms of Content, Reliability, and Quality

Comput Inform Nurs. 2025 Jan 1;43(1):e01217. doi: 10.1097/CIN.0000000000001217.

ABSTRACT

This descriptive study aims to investigate the content, quality, and reliability of YouTube videos containing content related to endotracheal tube aspiration. The study was scanned using the keywords “endotracheal aspiration” and “endotracheal tube aspiration,” and 22 videos were included in the study. The contents of the selected videos were measured using the Endotracheal Tube Aspiration Skill Form, their reliability was measured using the DISCERN Survey, and their quality was measured using the Global Quality Scale. Of the 22 videos that met the inclusion criteria, 18 (81.8%) were educational, and four (18.2%) were product promotional videos. When pairwise comparisons were made, the coverage score of open aspiration videos was higher for educational videos than for product promotion videos (P < .005). Useful videos had higher reliability and quality scores than misleading videos (P < .05). In addition, the reliability and quality scores of videos uploaded by official institutions were significantly higher than those of videos uploaded by individual users (P < .05). This study found that the majority of endotracheal tube aspiration training videos reviewed in the study were published by individual users, and a significant proportion of these videos had low levels of reliability and quality.
