ÖZET
Amaç: Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’de Instagram’da paylaşılan fibromiyalji
(FM) gönderilerini analiz etmek ve bu konuda farkındalığı
artırmak amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: 07.10.2023 tarihinde
Instagram’dan elde edilen FM ile ilgili hashtag’ler (#fibromiyaljisendromu,
#fibromyalji, #fibromiyalji, #yumusakdokuromatizması, #yumuşakdokuromatizması,
#yumusakdokuromatizmasi, #yumuşakdokuromatizmasi)
incelendi. Değerlendirilen her hashtag için “Top 9” ve en
son 30 gönderi çalışmaya dâhil edildi. Gönderilerin Küresel Kalite
Puanı [Global Quality Score (GQS)] hesaplandı. Gönderilerin türü (görüntü
veya video), içerikleri, kullanıcı bilgileri, beğeni sayıları ve izlenme
sayıları değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Bu çalışmaya 91 gönderi dâhil
edilmiştir. Gönderilerin 51’i (%56) görüntü, 40’ı (%44) video’dur.
Gönderilerin 35’i (%38) hekimler tarafından, 31’i (%34) hekim olmayan
tıbbi personel tarafından, 25’i (%27) başkaları tarafından paylaşılmıştır.
Gönderi paylaşan hekimlerin 22’si (%63) fiziksel tıp ve
rehabilitasyon (FTR) hekimleri iken 13’ü (%37) diğer branş hekimleridir.
GQS değeri hekim ve hekim olmayan tıbbı personel grubunda diğerlerinden
anlamlı olarak yüksekti (p<0,05). Hekimler arasında
bakıldığında FTR hekimleri tarafından paylaşılan gönderilerin GQS değeri
diğer hekimler tarafından paylaşılan gönderilerin GQS değerinden
anlamlı daha yüksekti (p=0,035). Tüm gönderilerin medyan GQS değeri
2’ydi (minimum=1, maksimum=5). Sonuç: Bu çalışma, hastaların
ihtiyaçları doğrultusunda Instagram gönderilerinin yetersiz kaldığı ve
kalitesinin düşük olduğunu ortaya koydu. Hekimlerin özellikle FTR hekimlerinin
daha fazla rol alarak hastaların ihtiyaçları doğrultusunda ve
yüksek kalitede içerikler üretmesi önemli olabilir.

ABSTRACT
Objective: This study aimed to analyse the fibromyalgia
(FM) posts shared on Instagram in Türkiye and to raise awareness on
this subject. Material and Methods: FM-related hashtags (#fibromiyaljisendromu,
#fibromyalji, #fibromiyalji, #yumusakdokuromatizması,
#yumuşakdokuromatizması, #yumusakdokuromatizmasi,
#yumuşakdokuromatizmasi) obtained from Instagram on 07.10.2023
were analysed. For each hashtag evaluated, the “Top 9” and the 30 most
recent posts were included in the study. The Global Quality Score
(GQS) of the posts was calculated. The type of posts (photo or video),
their content, user information, and number of likes and views were
evaluated. Results: 91 posts were included in this study. 51 (56%) of
the posts were photos, and 40 (44%) were videos. 35 (38%) of the posts
were shared by physicians, 31 (34%) by non-physician medical staff
and 25 (27%) by others. Of the physicians who shared posts, 22 (63%)
were physical medicine and rehabilitation (PMR) physicians, and 13
(37%) were physicians of other branches. GQS value was significantly
higher in the physician and non-physician medical staff group than in
the others (p<0.05). Among physicians, the GQS value of posts shared
by PMR physicians was significantly higher than the GQS value of
other physicians (p=0.035). The median GQS value of all posts was 2
(minimum=1, maximum=5). Conclusion: This study revealed that Instagram
posts were insufficient and of low quality, in line with the
needs of patients. It may be important for physicians, especially PMR
physicians, to take a greater role and produce high-quality content in
line with the needs of patients.
