Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: Research has indicated that physician assistant (PA) students use social media in their medical education; however, research is scant on whether PA students use social media unprofessionally. This study aimed to determine if PA students badmouth others or post pictures or comments depicting substance use and whether a relationship exists between personality and unprofessional posts.
METHODS: PA Program Directors were emailed and asked to disseminate an anonymous survey to their students. The survey included descriptive questions, questions regarding badmouthing and substance use posts, and the Mini-International Personality Item Pool. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, Spearman\'s correlation coefficient, and Mann-Whitney U with p < .05 indicating significance.
RESULTS: Recruitment resulted in n = 497 participants. Clinical year students made significantly more alcohol-related posts than didactic students (p = .01) and were significantly less conscientious (p ≤ .01). Didactic students badmouthed professors significantly more than clinical year students (p < .05). Females made significantly more alcohol-related posts (p ≤ .01); however, males badmouthed friends more (p = .02). A statistically significant relationship was identified between extraversion and all types of badmouthing (p < .05), alcohol-related (p < .001), and recreational drug (p = .02) posts, and between neuroticism and badmouthing professors (p = .02); conversely there was a significant negative correlation between conscientiousness and badmouthing professors (p = .01).
CONCLUSIONS: Medical educational programs should address professionalism concerning social media with a program policy to encourage a professional and ethical digital profile.

摘要：
目的：研究表明，助理医师（PA）学生在医学教育中使用社交媒体；然而，关于PA学生是否非专业地使用社交媒体的研究很少。这项研究旨在确定PA学生是否在说别人的坏话或发布描述物质使用的图片或评论，以及个性与非专业职位之间是否存在关系。
方法：PA项目主管收到电子邮件，并要求向他们的学生传播匿名调查。调查包括描述性问题，关于坏话和物质使用帖子的问题，和迷你国际个性项目池。数据分析包括描述性统计，斯皮尔曼相关系数，和Mann-WhitneyU，p<.05表明意义重大。
结果：招募了n=497名参与者。临床年学生的与酒精相关的职位明显多于教学学生（p=.01），而认真程度明显较低（p≤.01）。教育学生对教授的批评明显高于临床年级学生（p<0.05）。女性的酒精相关职位明显增多（p≤0.01）；然而，男性唱衰朋友更多（p=.02）。在外向性和所有类型的坏话之间发现了统计学上的显着关系（p<0.05），酒精相关（p<.001），和娱乐性药物(p=.02)帖子，神经质和坏话教授之间（p=.02）；相反，责任心和坏话教授之间存在显着负相关（p=.01）。
结论：医学教育计划应通过计划政策鼓励专业和道德的数字档案来解决与社交媒体有关的专业性。
