The aim of this study is to evaluate YouTube&trade: content in terms of the quality of information available about prostate cancer (PCa) in relation to incidence, symptomatology, and potential treatments for patients&rsquo: mental health. We searched on YouTube&trade: for terms related to mental health combined with those relating to prostate cancer. Tools for audio&ndash:visual-content PEMAT A/V, Global Quality Score, and DISCERN score were applied for the assessment of videos&rsquo: quality. A total of 67 videos were eligible. Most of the analyzed YouTube&trade: videos were created by physicians (52.2%) in contrast to other author categories (48.8%). According to the PEMAT A/V, the median score for Understandability was 72.7% and the overall median score for Actionability was 66.7%: the median DISCERN score was 47, which correspond to a fair quality. Only videos focusing on the topic &ldquo:Psychological Effects and PCa treatment&rdquo: were significantly more accurate. The General Quality Score revealed that the majority of YouTube&trade: videos were rated as &ldquo:generally poor&rdquo: (21, 31.3%) or &ldquo:poor&rdquo: (12, 17.9%). The results suggest that the content of YouTube&trade: videos is neither exhaustive nor reliable in the current state, illustrating a general underestimation of the mental health of prostate cancer patients. A multidisciplinary agreement to establish quality standards and improve communication about mental health care is needed.
