| Summary: | Objective: This study aimed to analyze the factors influencing the viewing rate of bladder cancer (BC) videos on UROPEDIA, an e-learning platform of The Society of Urological Surgery.
Materials and Methods: We evaluated 92 UROPEDIA and four Uromedia (Which is integrated into UROPEDIA and includes surgery videos) videos on BC uploaded from January 2016 to October 2023. Three UROPEDIA videos were excluded due to technical issues. Data collected included the number of views, upload dates, viewing rates, specializations, title, presentation language, and types of scientific event. The association between these parameters and viewing rates was also analyzed.
Results: Ninety-three videos were analyzed, with a median viewing rate of 1.3 monthly views. Most videos were presented by urologists (91.4%) and were in Turkish (77.4%). Videos presented by urologists had significantly higher viewing rates than those by other specialists (1.42 vs. 0.72, p=0.011). Turkish videos were viewed more frequently than English ones (1.67 vs. 0.6, p=0.000). Surgical videos were significantly more viewed than verbal presentations (19.8 vs. 1.28 p=0.001). The resident training videos had the highest viewing rates among all nonsurgical video categories.
Conclusion: This study revealed that e-learning platforms like UROPEDIA are more effective when the content is provided in native languages and tailored to resident training. Interaction is higher when the presenting physician’s specialization matches the audience’s. Surgical videos attracted more attention than verbal presentations. Additionally, encouraging post-residency urologists to utilize these platforms can help them further their professional development. |
