The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically changed our lives. By increased screen time during the pandemic, social media (SM) could have significantly impacted adolescents' and students' mental health ...(MH). This literature review aims to synthesize the research on the impact of SM usage on MH of adolescents and students during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. A review of the published literature was conducted in April 2021, through a search of PubMed and Web of Science Core Collection databases. The search yielded 1136 records, with 13 articles selected for this review. Most of the included studies observed the negative impact of SM use on MH of adolescents and students, most noticeably observed were anxiety, depression and stress. More active and prolonged SM usage was associated with a negative impact on MH of adolescents and students. Two studies recorded some potentially positive effects, such as support in coping and providing a sense of connection for those who were isolated due to social distancing measures. Since this review focuses on the early period of the pandemic, future studies should investigate the long-term impact of SM use on adolescents and students MH, with all relevant elements that can enable adequate public health response.

Cilj. Cilj je rada istražiti poznavanje i korištenje akademskih društvenih mreža znanstvenika Sveučilišta u Zagrebu te utvrditi postoji li povezanost između znanstvenih područja i korištenja ...akademskih društvenih mreža. Sukladno cilju u radu su postavljena sljedeća istraživačka pitanja: jesu li znanstvenici iz pojedinih znanstvenih područja skloniji korištenju akademskih društvenih mreža te jesu li znanstvenici iz određenih znanstvenih područja skloniji korištenju pojedinih akademskih društvenih mreža više od ostalih? Metodologija. Podaci su prikupljeni anonimnom online anketom koja se provodila od 30. studenog do 15. prosinca 2021. godine. Anketni upitnik sastojao se od 11 pitanja višestrukog izbora. U anketi je prikupljeno 266 odgovora znanstvenika Sveučilišta u Zagrebu o poznavanju i korištenju Academia.edu, Mendeleya, LinkedIna i ResearchGatea. Rezultati. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da većina ispitanika koristi akademske društvene mreže i da su znanstvenici nekih područja skloniji korištenju određenih akademskih društvenih mreža, te da ovisno o znanstvenom području postoji razlika u načinima korištenja akademskih društvenih mreža. Ograničenja. Istraživanje je ograničeno na Sveučilište u Zagrebu. Za dublje razumijevanje pojedinih aspekata korištenja akademskih društvenih mreža u budućnosti će biti potrebna dodatna istraživanja koja bi uključivala cijelu hrvatsku znanstvenu zajednicu. Originalnost/vrijednost. Ovo istraživanje pruža nove uvide o korištenju akademskih društvenih mreža, koje je u ovom kontekstu posebno usmjereno na akademsku zajednicu u Zagrebu.
Purpose. The aim of this paper is to investigate the knowledge and use of academicsocial networks among the scientists at the University of Zagreb, and whether there is a connection between scientific fields and the use of academic social networks. In accordance with the aim of the paper, the following research questions were asked: are scientists from certain scientific fields more inclined to use academic social networks, and are scientists from certain scientific fields inclined to use certain academic social networks more than others? Methodology/Approach. The data were collected through an anonymous onlinesurvey conducted from November 30 to December 15. 2021. The survey questionnaire consisted of 11 multiple-choice questions. The survey collected 266 responses from scientists at the University of Zagreb about their knowledge and use of Academia.edu, Mendeley, LinkedIn and ResearchGate. Results. The results of the research have shown that the majority of the respondentsuse academic social networks, that the scientists in some fields are more inclined to use certain academic social networks, and that there is a difference in the use of academic social networks depending on the specific scientific field. Limitations. The research is limited to the University of Zagreb. For a deeper understanding of certain aspects of the use of academic social networks, it is necessary to conduct additional research in the future that would include the entire Croatian scientific community. Originality / value. The research provides new insights into the use of academicsocial networks, and, in the context of this study, is particularly aimed at the academic community in Zagreb.
As we are witnessing the evolution of social media (SM) use worldwide among the general population, the popularity of SM has also been embraced by health care professionals (HCPs). In the context of ...SM evolution and exponential growth of users, this scoping review summarizes recent findings of the e-professionalism of HCPs.
The purpose of this scoping review is to characterize the recent original peer-reviewed research studies published between November 1, 2014, to December 31, 2020, on e-professionalism of HCPs; to assess the quality of the methodologies and approaches used; to explore the impact of SM on e-professionalism of HCPs; to recognize the benefits and dangers of SM; and to provide insights to guide future research in this area.
A search of the literature published from November 1, 2014, to December 31, 2020, was performed in January 2021 using 3 databases (PubMed, CINAHL, and Scopus). The searches were conducted using the following defined search terms: "professionalism" AND "social media" OR "social networks" OR "Internet" OR "Facebook" OR "Twitter" OR "Instagram" OR "TikTok." The search strategy was limited to studies published in English. This scoping review follows the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews) guidelines.
Of the 1632 retrieved papers, a total of 88 studies were finally included in this review. Overall, the quality of the studies was satisfactory. Participants in the reviewed studies were from diverse health care professions. Medical health professionals were involved in about three-quarters of the studies. Three key benefits of SM on e-professionalism of HCPs were identified: (1) professional networking and collaboration, (2) professional education and training, and (3) patient education and health promotion. For the selected studies, there were five recognized dangers of SM on e-professionalism of HCPs: (1) loosening accountability, (2) compromising confidentiality, (3) blurred professional boundaries, (4) depiction of unprofessional behavior, and (5) legal issues and disciplinary consequences. This scoping review also recognizes recommendations for changes in educational curricula regarding e-professionalism as opportunities for improvement and barriers that influence HCPs use of SM in the context of e-professionalism.
Findings in the reviewed studies indicate the existence of both benefits and dangers of SM on e-professionalism of HCPs. Even though there are some barriers recognized, this review has highlighted existing recommendations for including e-professionalism in the educational curricula of HCPs. Based on all evidence provided, this review provided new insights and guides for future research on this area. There is a clear need for robust research to investigate new emerging SM platforms, the efficiency of guidelines and educational interventions, and the specifics of each profession regarding their SM potential and use.
Cilj. Cilj ovog rada je opisati i kritički analizirati primjenu citatne analize u vrednovanju knjižničnih zbirki Knjižnice „Andrija Štampar“, visokoškolske knjižnice Medicinskog fakulteta Sveučilišta ...u Zagrebu.
Metodologija. Citatnom analizom analizirano je ukupno 235 diplomski radova diplomskog studija sestrinstva na Medicinskom fakultetu Sveučilišta u Zagrebu u razdoblju od 2014. do 2017. godine. Izabrani uzorak diplomskih radova pokriva različite medicinske specijalizacije koje obuhvaćaju ključne discipline medicinskih znanosti.
Rezultati. Analiza je dokazala da knjižnična zbirka djelomično zadovoljava potrebe ove specifične skupine korisnika.
Studija je otkrila da su časopisi najpoželjniji izvor informacija koje studenti koriste u sestrinskom području, čineći 56% ukupnog broja citata. Studenti diplomskog studija sestrinstva koriste časopise koji su im poznati i lako dostupni.
Praktična primjena. Ovaj rad ukazuje da je citatna analiza prikladna metoda za prikupljanje pokazatelja o stvarnom korištenju knjižničnih i informacijskih izvora.
Originalnost/vrijednost. Ovaj rad želi doprinijeti razumijevanju kvalitete knjižničnih zbirki u visokoškolskoj knjižnici.
Cilj. U ovom radu uspoređuje se i analizira broj radova, citiranost i h-indeks kroz tri relevantna citatna izvora podataka na uzorku koji čini znanstveno-nastavno osoblje i asistenti Škole narodnog ...zdravlja „Andrija Štampar“ (ŠNZ) Medicinskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu u razdoblju od siječnja 2006. do prosinca 2016. godine.
Metodologija. Uzorak čini 70 znanstvenika i asistenata koji su u navedenom razdoblju kao adresu ustanove u kojoj rade navodili ŠNZ. Analizira se njihova produktivnost kroz tri baze podataka, odnosno tri najvažnija citatna izvora, Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC), Scopus i Google Scholar (GS), pri čemu je naglasak stavljen na sljedeće bibliometrijske pokazatelje: broj radova, citiranost i h-indeks. Izdvojeno je 20 najcitiranijih radova u sve tri citatne baze i promatraju se predmetna područja unutar svake baze u kojima su časopisi najcitiranijih radova indeksirani.
Rezultati. GS očekivano indeksira najveći broj radova, ali maksimalne i minimalne vrijednosti citiranosti i h-indeksa GS-a daju približne rezultate onima u WoSCC-u i Scopusu. Medijan rezultata ukazuje na to da većina autora iz uzorka ima veću citiranost i h-indeks u GS-u. GS identificira najcitiranije radove jednako kao WoSCC i Scopus. Najcitiraniji radovi nisu iz područja javnog zdravstva jer je to područje slabijeg odjeka u biomedicini.
Originalnost/vrijednost. Rad pridonosi boljem razumijevanju razlika među citatnim izvorima WoSCC, Scopus i GS kada je riječ o bibliometrijskim indikatorima kojima se evaluira znanstvena produktivnost. Rad također prikazuje znanstvenu produktivnost jedne od vodećih znanstvenih institucija u Hrvatskoj vidljivu u relevantnim bibliografskim i citatnim bazama podataka.
To compare e-professionalism perceptions between medical and dental students, focusing on their awareness and understanding of guidelines for developing e-professionalism.
A cross-sectional ...quantitative study was conducted at the University of Zagreb School of Medicine (UZSM) and School of Dental Medicine (UZSDM) in 2022/2023. Data were gathered through a questionnaire designed specifically for the survey.
Of the 646 questionnaires collected, 626 were analyzed, with a response rate of 33.95% for UZSM and 37.83% for UZSDM. Most respondents (71.4%) were female, with a median age of 21. Medical students significantly more frequently considered it unprofessional to publish posts containing photos of patients/clients (96.5% vs 75.1%), endorsements of health products without conflict-of-interest disclosures (60.6% vs 33.0%), and posts describing patient interactions without revealing identifying information (51.7% vs 27.4%). In contrast, dental medicine students more frequently considered it unprofessional to publish posts with swearing or foul language (81.2% vs 67.4%), critical comments about lecturers (68.0% vs 46.9%), and criticisms of course material or the institution (52.3% vs 36.4%). Only 23.2% of students were aware of e-professionalism guidelines, with 37.9% of those familiar with their content.
While medical and dental students recognize the importance of e-professionalism, their perceptions have substantial differences. The need for promoting existing guidelines and integrating e-professionalism into curricula is evident. Continuous monitoring and research in this domain are essential to ensure future health care professionals maintain high standards of online professionalism.
To describe and compare social media (SM) use habits, and attitudes of medical and dental students toward e-professionalism and to determine their opinion on potentially unprofessional behavior and ...posts.
In this quantitative cross-sectional questionnaire study, students of the University of Zagreb School of Medicine and those of the School of Dental Medicine completed a survey-specific questionnaire on the use of SM, SM habits, and attitudes toward e-professionalism.
Of the 714 collected questionnaires, we analyzed 698 (411 from medical and 287 from dental students). The most commonly used SM were Facebook (99%) and Instagram (80.7%). Unprofessional content was recognized by both groups. Medical students significantly more frequently considered the posts containing patient photos (61% vs 89.8%; P<0.001), describing interaction with a patient not revealing any personal identifiable information (23% vs 41.8%; P<0.001), and containing critical comments about faculty (53% vs 39.7%; P=0.001) to be unprofessional. Dental medicine students were significantly more open to communication through SM (39.7% vs 16.3%; P<0.001), more often reported that they would accept (41.5% vs 12.2%; P<0.001), and had accepted (28.2% vs 5.6%; P<0.001) friend requests/follows/tracks from patients, and sent friend requests/follows/tracks to their patients (5.2% vs 1.2%; P=0.002).
Both groups were highly aware of e-professionalism. Dental students were more desensitized to visual representations of patients, and more prone to SM interactions with patients, which might expose them to the risk of unprofessional behavior.
Abstract
Background
Social media permeated everyday life and consequently it brought some changes to behaviour of health professionals. New form of professionalism emerged called e-professionalism ...depicting professional behaviour while using social media. There are a number of studies conducted in the past several years measuring behaviour of different populations of health professionals on social media and social media sites. Many studies have investigated aspects of e-professionalism of medical or dental students as future health professionals, but there are no validated instruments made for assessing attitude towards e-professionalism of those two populations. Objective of this paper is to validate a newly developed scale for measuring attitudes towards e-professionalism among medical and dental students.
Methods
The original 32-item scale was developed and administered to 411 medical students (RR 69%), and 287 dental students (RR 49.7%). Exploratory factor analysis was used to investigate the existence of underlying factors. Principal component analysis was used as an extraction method with oblimin as selected oblique rotation method. Cronbach’s alpha was used to assess reliability.
Results
Total of 698 student answers entered analysis. The final scale had 24 items that formed seven factors named: ethical aspects, dangers of social media, excluding physicians, freedom of choice, importance of professionalism, physicians in the digital age, negative consequences. Cronbach’s alpha indicating scale reliability was .72. Reliability conducted on each factor ranged from .570 to .877.
Conclusions
The scale measures seven factors of attitude towards e-professionalism and exhibits satisfactory reliability. Based on insights from validation, some possible improvements are suggested.
Social media presence among health care professionals is ubiquitous and largely beneficial for their personal and professional lives. New standards are forming in the context of e-professionalism, ...which are loosening the predefined older and offline terms. With these benefits also come dangers, with exposure to evaluation on all levels from peers, superiors, and the public, as witnessed in the #medbikini movement.
The objectives of this study were to develop an improved coding scheme (SMePROF coding scheme) for the assessment of unprofessional behavior on Facebook of medical or dental students and faculty, compare reliability between coding schemes used in previous research and SMePROF coding scheme, compare gender-based differences for the assessment of the professional content on Facebook, validate the SMePROF coding scheme, and assess the level of and to characterize web-based professionalism on publicly available Facebook profiles of medical or dental students and faculty.
A search was performed via a new Facebook account using a systematic probabilistic sample of students and faculty in the University of Zagreb School of Medicine and School of Dental Medicine. Each profile was subsequently assessed with regard to professionalism based on previously published criteria and compared using the SMePROF coding scheme developed for this study.
Intercoder reliability increased when the SMePROF coding scheme was used for the comparison of gender-based coding results. Results showed an increase in the gender-based agreement of the final codes for the category professionalism, from 85% in the first phase to 96.2% in the second phase. Final results of the second phase showed that there was almost no difference between female and male coders for coding potentially unprofessional content for students (7/240, 2.9% vs 5/203, 2.5%) or for coding unprofessional content for students (11/240, 4.6% vs 11/203, 5.4%). Comparison of definitive results between the first and second phases indicated an understanding of web-based professionalism, with unprofessional content being very low, both for students (9/222, 4.1% vs 12/206, 5.8%) and faculty (1/25, 4% vs 0/23, 0%). For assessment of the potentially unprofessional content, we observed a 4-fold decrease, using the SMePROF rubric, for students (26/222, 11.7% to 6/206, 2.9%) and a 5-fold decrease for faculty (6/25, 24% to 1/23, 4%).
SMePROF coding scheme for assessing professionalism of health-care professionals on Facebook is a validated and more objective instrument. This research emphasizes the role that context plays in the perception of unprofessional and potentially unprofessional content and provides insight into the existence of different sets of rules for web-based and offline interaction that marks behavior as unprofessional. The level of e-professionalism on Facebook profiles of medical or dental students and faculty available for public viewing has shown a high level of understanding of e-professionalism.
