NOTE: This is an unreviewed Preprint
Warning: This is a unreviewed preprint (What is a preprint?). Readers are warned that the document has not been peer-reviewed by expert/patient reviewers or an academic editor, may contain misleading claims, and is likely to undergo changes before final publication, if accepted, or may have been rejected/withdrawn (a note "no longer under consideration" will appear above).
Peer review me: Readers with interest and expertise are encouraged to sign up as peer-reviewer, if the paper is within an open peer-review period (in this case, a "Peer Review Me" button to sign up as reviewer is displayed above). All preprints currently open for review are listed here. Outside of the formal open peer-review period we encourage you to tweet about the preprint.
Citation: Please cite this preprint only for review purposes or for grant applications and CVs (if you are the author).
Final version: If our system detects a final peer-reviewed "version of record" (VoR) published in any journal, a link to that VoR will appear below. Readers are then encourage to cite the VoR instead of this preprint.
Settings: If you are the author, you can login and change the preprint display settings, but the preprint URL/DOI is supposed to be stable and citable, so it should not be removed once posted.
Submit: To post your own preprint, simply submit to any JMIR journal, and choose the appropriate settings to expose your submitted version as preprint.
Warning: This is an author submission that is not peer-reviewed or edited. Preprints - unless they show as "accepted" - should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Internet videos of Premature ejaculation in mainland China: a content analysis
ABSTRACT
Background:
Premature ejaculation (PE) is one of the most complained sexual dysfunctions both in China and worldwide. Although the booming online healthcare service and information are attracting increasing numbers of patients and users in mainland China, the quality and reliability of PE related information available online are yet disseminated.
Objective:
To assess the quality of information regarding premature ejaculation (PE) videos on top video websites in China.
Methods:
The iQiyi (https://www.iqiyi.com/), QQ video (https://v.qq.com), Youku (https://www.youku.com), MGTV (https://www.mgtv.com), Bilibili (https://www.bilibili.com), Sohu (https://tv.sohu.com), CCTV (https://v.cctv.com), LeTV (http://www.le.com), PPTV (https://www.pptv.com), 56.com (http://www.56.com) were searched in March 2020 for the search term premature ejaculation. All available videos were triaged for inclusion, and two reviewers independently evaluate the videos using GSQ scores for quality and DISCERN tools for their content reliability. All data were analyzed by SPSS software.
Results:
PE related content is not available on all websites. Some websites strictly restrict sex-related content regardless if it aims to provide healthcare information. Of the 577 discovered videos, 416 videos were excluded for been irrelevant (n = 123), poor quality (n = 15), VIP accessible (n = 22), false advertisement (n = 76) and duplication (n = 180). In the include videos ,99 (61.5%) were described as reliable, and 62 (38.5%) as nonreliable. The assessed agreement was positive (kappa index = 0.894), and the calculated intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.963 for DISCERN and 0.902 for GSQ scoring. The recorded length of reliable and nonreliable videos was equivalent (3.16 ± 3.29 min VS 3.50 ± 3.50 min, P=0.54), but the DISCERN score between reliable and nonreliable videos were 2.92±0.72 and 1.23±0.68 (P<0.001), GSQ scores are 3.19±0.99 and 0.58±0.82 (P<0.01).Videos exposure rate is not analyzable for data such as uploading data, and video views are not available in some of these websites. Some websites topped the most reliable healthcare education content provided by medical social media.
Conclusions:
The resources of Chinese video websites vary greatly. Users who search for PE related information need to choose the right network platform and select better-produced videos. Many professional medical professionals have participated in video production. With the growing number of videos, efforts need to be stressed on content reviewing and evaluation framework establishment.
