Abstract

1. List the components of the goals-of-care (GOC) educational video scoring system 2. Describe the availability and quality of GOC educational videos on YouTube YouTube has been widely used for medical education purposes. Medical trainees and clinicians can potentially use YouTube to improve their communication skills; however, a systemic review of the quality of these videos is warranted. To explore the availability and quality of goals-of-care (GOC) educational videos on YouTube. Based on literature search, we created a GOC educational video scoring system (VSS). This checklist included 7 vital criteria. A search of YouTube was conducted using keywords “goals of care,” “discussion,” “communication,” “palliative,” “conversation,” and “training.” A search strategy was developed to record characteristics of a video. Two palliative care physicians reviewed each video via the VSS. A total of 60 videos were screened, and 12 met criteria for analysis. Video demographics showed total views (n) = 5,198 ± 12,827.99 and video length (in seconds) = 479.65 ± 293.743. One-third were uploaded by academic centers. 7/12 (58.3%) videos included a clinician-patient/family encounter, and only 4/12 (33.3%) videos included both a clinician-patient/family encounter and commentary. Mean VSS was 3.21 ± 2.105. There is lack of high-quality GOC educational videos on YouTube. Using YouTube as a sole resource to develop complex communication skills may be inappropriate. Our VSS can be used as a guide for anyone creating GOC educational videos. There is a need to further assess and evaluate online video instruction for complex communication skills. More research is needed to determine the effectiveness of these videos in improving learner communication skills.
