Abstract

Introduction: Social media has a potential to bring about major changes in the healthcare system.

Objective: To find out the pattern of use of social media among healthcare professionals (HCPs) and perception, facilitators, and barriers of using social media, to translate evidence into clinical practice.

Method: We conducted a cross-sectional study among 196 HCPs of institutions attached to a university using a self-administered questionnaire.

Result: 97.3% used social media; however, only 63.4% used it for research. YouTube was the most preferred media. Majority of people believed that social media enables wide range of evidence over the shorter span of time, poses a threat to privacy, and cannot replace face to face interaction. Perceived barriers were the privacy concern, unprofessional behavior, lack of reliability, and information overload.

Conclusion: There is a need for the development of appropriate guidelines for sharing the research output among various stakeholders using social media.

医疗保健专业人员对使用社交媒体将研究证据转化为芒格洛尔临床实践的看法
导读:社交媒体有可能给医疗保健系统带来重大变化。目的:了解卫生保健专业人员(HCPs)使用社交媒体的模式,以及使用社交媒体的认知、促进因素和障碍,以将证据转化为临床实践。方法:采用自填问卷对某大学附属机构196名医护人员进行横断面调查。结果:97.3%的人使用社交媒体;然而,只有63.4%的人将其用于研究。YouTube是最受欢迎的媒体。大多数人认为社交媒体可以在更短的时间内获得更广泛的证据,对隐私构成威胁,不能取代面对面的互动。感知到的障碍是隐私问题、不专业的行为、缺乏可靠性和信息过载。结论:有必要制定适当的指导方针,以便在使用社交媒体的各种利益相关者之间分享研究成果。

期刊介绍: The overall aim of the International Journal of Telemedicine and Applications is to bring together science and applications of medical practice and medical care at a distance as well as their supporting technologies such as, computing, communications, and networking technologies with emphasis on telemedicine techniques and telemedicine applications. It is directed at practicing engineers, academic researchers, as well as doctors, nurses, etc. Telemedicine is an information technology that enables doctors to perform medical consultations, diagnoses, and treatments, as well as medical education, away from patients. For example, doctors can remotely examine patients via remote viewing monitors and sound devices, and/or sampling physiological data using telecommunication. Telemedicine technology is applied to areas of emergency healthcare, videoconsulting, telecardiology, telepathology, teledermatology, teleophthalmology, teleoncology, telepsychiatry, teledentistry, etc. International Journal of Telemedicine and Applications will highlight the continued growth and new challenges in telemedicine, applications, and their supporting technologies, for both application development and basic research. Papers should emphasize original results or case studies relating to the theory and/or applications of telemedicine. Tutorial papers, especially those emphasizing multidisciplinary views of telemedicine, are also welcome. International Journal of Telemedicine and Applications employs a paperless, electronic submission and evaluation system to promote a rapid turnaround in the peer-review process.
