社交媒体是指在线社交网站,是Web2.0的一个广泛的例子,如Twitter,YouTube,TikTok,Facebook,Snapchat,Reddit,Instagram,WhatsApp,和博客。这是一个不断变化的新领域。上网,社交媒体平台和移动通信都是可以用来提供和访问健康信息的工具。这项研究旨在对现有的已发表文献进行介绍性研究,以了解为什么选择以及如何使用社交媒体来获取人口健康信息,并获得有关疾病监测等各种卫生部门的知识。健康教育,健康研究,健康和行为矫正,影响政策,加强专业发展和医患关系发展。我们使用PubMed等数据库搜索出版物,NCBI,和谷歌学者,并结合了PWC的2022年社交媒体使用统计数据,信息图表存档,和Statista在线网站。美国医学协会(AMA)关于社交媒体使用专业的政策,美国内科医师学会-州医疗委员会联合会(ACP-FSMB)在线医疗专业指南,和健康保险流通和责任法案(HIPAA)社交媒体的违规行为也进行了简要审查。我们的发现反映了使用网络平台的利弊,以及它们如何在道德上影响公共卫生,专业,和社会。在我们的研究中,我们发现,社交媒体对公共卫生问题的影响既有积极的,也有消极的,我们试图解释社交网络如何帮助人们实现健康,这仍然是很多争论的来源。
Social media refers to online social networking sites and is a broad example of Web 2.0, such as Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Snapchat, Reddit, Instagram, WhatsApp, and blogs. It is a new and ever-changing field. Access to the internet, social media platforms and mobile communications are all tools that can be leveraged to make health information available and accessible. This research aimed to conduct an introductory study of the existing published literature on why to choose and how to use social media to obtain population health information and to gain knowledge about various health sectors like disease surveillance, health education, health research, health and behavioral modification, influence policy, enhance professional development and doctor-patient relation development. We searched for publications using databases like PubMed, NCBI, and Google Scholar, and combined 2022 social media usage statistics from PWC, Infographics Archive, and Statista online websites. The American Medical Association (AMA) policy about Professionalism in Social Media Use, American College of Physicians-Federations of State Medical Boards (ACP-FSMB) guidelines for Online Medical Professionalism, and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) social media violations were also briefly reviewed. Our findings reflect the benefits and drawbacks of using web platforms and how they impact public health ethically, professionally, and socially. During our research, we discovered that social media\'s impact on public health concerns is both positive and negative, and we attempted to explain how social networks are assisting people in achieving health, which is still a source of much debate.
