“…Conversely, the nature of social media easily blurs those physical boundaries of work, personal and public life which can leave the professional vulnerable to sharing information that they would not normally share in the physical or 'real' world (Langenfeld et al, 2014;Guan & Tate, 2013;Farooqi et al, 2013;Finn et al, 2010;Dwyer, 2007). Indeed, Ollier-Malaterre (2013) proposes a model that illustrates some of the approaches to managing and sharing in social media and discusses how difficult and time consuming it is to selectively share some information with only select people depending on the topic.…”

“…In addition, the use of sophisticated and automatic tools for collecting and monitoring personal data and behavior has become increasingly common and less detectable. Studies have suggested that unprofessional uses of SM are frequent among health professionals and various improper behaviors, such as violations of patient privacy, posting sexually suggestive photos, defamation and criticism of others, and racist content online are among the most common problems detected on these platforms [17,[20][21][22][23][24][25].…”

SummaryObjectives: Social media is increasingly being used in conjunction with health information technology (health IT). The objective of this paper is to identify some of the undesirable outcomes that arise from this integration and to suggest solutions to these problems. Methodology: After a discussion with experts to elicit the topics that should be included in the survey, we performed a narrative review based on recent literature and interviewed multidisciplinary experts from different areas. In each case, we identified and analyzed the unintended effects of social media in health IT. Results: Each analyzed topic provided a different set of unintended consequences. Most relevant consequences include lack of privacy with ethical and legal issues, patient confusion in disease management, poor information accuracy in crowdsourcing, unclear responsibilities, misleading and biased information in the prevention and detection of epidemics, and demotivation in gamified health solutions with social components. Conclusions: Using social media in healthcare offers several benefits, but it is not exempt of potential problems, and not all of these problems have clear solutions. We recommend careful design of digital systems in order to minimize patient's feelings of demotivation and frustration and we recommend following specific guidelines that should be created by all stakeholders in the healthcare ecosystem.

“…In a survey of medical schools, responding deans of student affairs reported unprofessional postings by students to include profanity, frankly discriminatory language, depiction of intoxication, and sexually suggestive material (Chretien, Greysen, Chretien, & Kind, 2009). In an evaluation of public Facebook profiles of surgical residents, content deemed unprofessional included items displaying binge drinking, sexually suggestive photos and profanity, whereas making polarizing political and religious comments, wearing questionable attire, and holding guns while hunting were considered only potentially unprofessional (Langenfeld, Cook, Sudbeck, Luers, & Schenarts, 2014). In other recruitment contexts, some recruiters pay attention to spelling and grammar mistakes, and unprofessional email addresses (Zide, Elman, & Shahani-Denning, 2014).…”

“…Cognizant of the co-creation process involved on social media, some studies (e.g. Langenfeld et al, 2014) examined two components of unprofessional content on a person's profile: self-disclosed content by the individual, and viewable content on the individual's page even if submitted by others (e.g. photo tags, and comments made by friends).…”

a b s t r a c tSocial media-based screening is a well-known practice to both recruiters and job seekers. Little is known, however, about how job seekers present themselves on social media, i.e. 'self-disclosure', for employment purposes. This study builds on the theories of hyperpersonal computer-mediated communication, self-efficacy and social exchange to examine job seekers' professional online image concerns, social media self-efficacy, and perceptions of social media effectiveness in the job search as predictors of inappropriate and career-oriented self-disclosures on these media. Findings from a sample of 3374 Italian respondents showed that career-oriented self-disclosure was predicted by all three factors, whereas inappropriate self-disclosure was only predicted by social media self-efficacy. Furthermore, the relationship between professional online image concerns and inappropriate self-disclosure was moderated by age, education and work experience, but not by gender. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed, and directions for future research are suggested.
