Evaluation of websites reached using Google in the modern digital era related to approach to cholesterol
Öz: Objective: The Google search engine is widely used as asource of medical information; however, legal and medicalgovernance of the accuracy of the content retrieved is lacking.The aim of this study was to assess the most read Turkishlanguage texts related to cholesterol during a specific periodaccording to the validity of the content.Methods: Google Trends was queried on January 5, 2019for the search term “cholesterol” and the 9 other most popularsearch phrases used in Turkey that included the word cholesterol. In all, 100 links were obtained for each phrase, generatinga total of 1000 links. Once duplicates were eliminated, a totalof 604 links was used for the study. Since there is currently novalidation scoring system for this purpose in the literature, theauthors created a checklist according to well-accepted recentguidelines focused on cholesterol. The content of the texts acquired was classified as misleading, insufficient but favorable,or sufficient and favorable.Results: The source of the online texts studied was universities (n=8, 1.3%), hospitals (n=6, 0.9%), personal blogs (n=200,33.1%), health websites (n=183, 30.2%), and medical journals(n=207, 34.2%). In all, 235 texts (38.9%) were classified as sufficient and favorable and 35 (5.7%) were categorized as misleading. A medical practitioner was named in 378 texts (62.5%). Allof the results from universities and hospitals were ranked in thefavorable group. A statistical difference in the word count wasseen in a comparison of the misleading and favorable texts.Conclusion: Google can connect users to a significant quantity of material related to cholesterol that includes a wide rangefrom misleading information to sufficient and favorable texts.The variation in the quality of the content on websites accessible via Google necessitates that cholesterol resource materialshould be selected with great care.
Anahtar Kelime: Günümüz dijital döneminde Google üzerinden ulaşılan sitelerin kolesterol yaklaşımı açısından değerlendirilmesi
Öz: Amaç: Doğruluğu açısından herhangi bir yasal veya medikal uygulama ortaya koyulmamış olmasına rağmen, Google medikal konularda bilgi kaynağı olarak çok yaygın kullanılmaktadır. Çalışmamızın amacı içerik geçerliliklerine göre kolesterol konusunda çok okunan Türkçe yazıların değerlendirilmesiydi. Yöntemler: Google trends 5 Ocak 2019 tarihinde Türkiye’de ‘kolesterol’ ve kolesterol kelimesini içeren en popüler dokuz sözcük grubu açısından taratıldı. Her aratılan sözcük veya sözcük grubu açısından 100 adet bağlantı elde edildi ve sonuçta 1000 bağlantıya ulaşıldı. Bu ulaşılan bağlantılar oluşturduğumuz veri tabanında birden fazla yer alıyorsa silindi, tekrar sınıflandırıldı ve sonuç olarak 604 adet bağlantı çalışma grubunu oluşturdu. Bu amaçla literatürde herhangi bir skorlama sistemi yer almadığı için, yazarlar kolesterol konusuna odaklanan ve genel kabul gören son zamanlarda yayınlanmış rehberleri kullanarak kontrol listesi oluşturdu. Yazıların içerikleri yanlış yönlendiren, yetersiz ama uygun, yeterli ve uygun olarak sınıflandırıldı. Bulgular: Yazıların kaynakları şu şekildeydi: Üniversiteler n=8, %1.3, hastaneler n=6, %0.9, kişisel bloglar n=200, %33.1, sağlık internet siteleri n=183, %30.2, gazete kaynaklı yazılar n=207, %34.2. 235 yazı (%38.9) yeterli ve uygun olarak, 35 yazı (%5.7) yanlış yönlendiren olarak sınıflandırıldı. 378 yazıda (%62.5) tıbbi hekimlere yazının herhangi bir kısmında yer verildiği görüldü. Üniversite veya hastaneden yayınlanan yazılar uygun olan grupta sınıflandırıldı. Yanlış yönlendiren ve uygun olan yazılar arasında kelime sayısı bakımından istatistiksel olarak fark saptandı. Sonuç: Google kolesterol konusunda yanlış yönlendirenden uygun olana kayda değer sayıda yazıya bağlantı sağlamaktadır. Google ile ulaşılan sitelerdeki kolesterol ile ilişkili yazılarda kalite düşüklüğü okunacak yazıların çok ciddi özenle seçilmesi gerektiğini göstermektedir.
