Unlocking the potential of digital in nursing (B)
If you haven't joined in a tweet chat before it's very simple. Here's a guide Tweet
Chat Details
fHosted by WeLearnOutLoud using #MDX_EL
During the past few years we have seen a huge growth in the use of social media in the healthcare sector yet it was only a short time ago that Ferguson (2013) questioned whether health would start to leverage the potential of social media. The answer, some 5 years on, is still unclear.
Whilst there are a few social media pioneers there is still a long way to go in unlocking the true potential of social media. There are many who do not see the benefits and still regard it as a social pastime and not as a serious way for nurses to communicate, connect and make a difference to the people they care for.
Forty-seven per cent of the UK population (Ofcom 2017) uses social media which equates to a large number of nurses potentially already using it in one form or another albeit to connect with friends and relatives. The challenge now is to capitalise on this social phenomena and promote it as a serious communication tool for 21st century nursing.
One of the best ways to use social media is by combining a combination of platforms. For example sharing YouTube videos via Twitter or discussing blogs on LinkedIn. By having a wide and varied approach to social media nurses can understand the resources available to them and use this to continually develop and enhance their practice and patient care.
Nurses are making great gains in social media through viral campaigns and highly accessed Twitter chats. They use it to support one another, to professionally develop, to exchange clinical practice and resources, to reflect, to develop their careers and to connect with patient groups.
Social media is a nursing tool for the digital age as it allows communication on a global scale via a mobile phone that sits in the palm of our hand. With so much information, support, ideas and experience at our fingertips how can we not unlock the potential?
This tweetchat aims to explore:
- What are the benefits to nurses in engaging in social media?
- What are the benefits to patients when nurses are engaged with social media?
- What are the potential challenges to nurses engaging in social media?
- What is the potential is there for the use of social media in nursing?
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE TRANSCRIPT AND SUMMARY OF THE TWEETCHAT WILL NOT APPEAR UNTIL AFTER ALL THE GROUPS HAVE TAKEN PART - THE TRANSCRIPT WILL APPEAR AT 9.30PM AND THE SUMMARY SHORTLY AFTER THAT.

@mdx_EL The benefit of this is that you have a rough idea of what the health status is like in the area of your working. This information can then be used to advice, remind or inform patients that do not use social media as much to take care of their health more seriously. #MDX_EL |

It shows them the "human side" of nurses and it allows patients to open up more and build a connection. It also allows patients to see nurses outside the "box" #MDX_EL https://twitter.com/mdx_EL/status/1206659058549317633 |

@mdx_EL The potential challenges to nurses/student nurses engaging in social media is you might experience some trolling but how you respond to it really and truly it is down to you because you are the one who has something to lose and a troll isn't worth it #mdx_el |

@mdx_EL The main challenge is breaching patients confidentiality or privacy on social platforms. NMC;“It is important to realise that even the strictest privacy settings have limitations. This is because, once something is online, it can be copied and redistributed. #mdx_el |

@mdx_EL Potential challenges of engaging on social media Vary, confrontation can be one of them from sharing your views online. Another thing is Staying professional when communicating can be challenging as posting something unprofessional can jeopardise your reputation #MDX_EL |

@mdx_EL There is a thing called “meme culture” where a lot of funny videos are produced and if the nurse and patient are both familiar to it, it can build a good relation between the nurse to the patient and therefore produce good care #MDX_EL |

@mdx_EL Making judgements as diffenrent patients have different issues, also as a student nurse, we do not know most of things as we are still learning ourselves, so any patient asking us questions we dont know the answer to will make them disappointed.#MDX_EL |

@mdx_EL A challenge could be forgetting that you are an advocate for nurses around the world and anything you say, even if it's well intended can be deemed unprofessional. It's good to be passionate but important to watch how you express your views. #MDX_EL |

@mdx_EL Nurses must be mindful of their digital footprint: act professionally online and maintain patient confidentiality. “As a nurse, midwife or nursing associate, you owe a duty of confidentiality to all those who are receiving care.” #MDX_EL |

@mdx_EL Patients will take more responsibility towards their health. They will know what to expect from nurses. For example they may ask you a question about a recent raised health concern or a update about the NHS and they may want you to explain further information about it. #MDX_EL |

Not everyone online has the best intention so, trolls can be a challenge. Also we need to make sure when giving advice, to guide the patients towards a consultation with a doctor because some may use the advice as consultation, when it's not #MDX_EL https://twitter.com/mdx_EL/status/1206662824644239363 |

@mdx_EL Remaining professional at all times can be challenging. This can be because someone may say something that triggers you and you can’t reply to them in an argumentative/rude manor no matter how bad you believe “they deserved it”. This means refraining from profanity also. #MDX_EL |

Potential challenges to nurses/ student nurses on social media can be being a victim of trolling and as a nurse you should not respond to it, or sharing something (picture, video, quote) that is not appropriate for a professional to post. #MDX_EL https://twitter.com/mdx_EL/status/1206662824644239363 |

@mdx_EL Maintaining confidentiality. Sometimes as nurses get busy they may forget to be ‘proffessional’ when uploading a social media content. For example they may share their experience with a patient on social media but not realise whom they are sharing this information with. #MDX_EL |
