dc.description.abstractObjective: As with every chronic disease, YouTube is increasingly heavily accessed to get information for psoriasis. It contains quality videos containing medical information; however, some content is of low quality, unscientific, misleading, and potentially harmful. We aimed to conduct this study to reveal this situation, understand the rate of non-physician practice, and develop solutions. Material and Methods: Between May 1-31, 2022, we searched the YouTube search engine by typing “psoriasis treatment” in Turkish. The number of views of the video, the number of subscribers, time of publication, duration of the video, gender and occupation of the presenter, type of YouTube channel on which the video was posted, were recorded. In the analysis of analytical statistics, the Quade test was used to eliminate the severity of the difference in the number of views and the extreme difference of skewness. Levene's test was used for homogeneity analysis. Results: The majority of the videos consisted of education-information about psoriasis treatment methods (41.6%) and specific treatment recommendations (35%). 46.2% of the video narrators were physicians (21.7% dermatologist, 24.5% non-dermatologist) 25.8% were non-physicians, and herbalists (15.4%) were the leading ones. The rate of evidence-based treatment recommendations was 24.5%, while the rate of non-evidence-based treatments was 65.7%. Conclusion: We have identified videos created by herbalists who recommend supplements containing plant extracts, which are not based on substantial evidence. There should be more videos on YouTube about psoriasis and its treatment by dermatologists who are experts in the subject. Copyright © 2023 by Türkiye Klinikleri.
