“…On top of the high exposure to social media, much of the information regarding mental health gleaned from social media is often vague and/or inaccurate, even when the posts are created by mental health professionals. Lorenzo‐Luaces et al (2023) illustrated this point by analyzing 168 TikTok videos related to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Only six of the 168 videos analyzed contained factual information, and 105 of the video creators self‐identified as mental health coaches or professionals.…”

ObjectiveOne barrier to treatment seeking, uptake, and engagement is the belief that nothing can be done to reduce symptoms. Given the widespread use of social media to disseminate information about important issues, including psychological health, we sought to understand how the influence of social media communication regarding mental health impacts viewers' beliefs about psychopathology recovery.MethodUndergraduate participants from a large Midwestern university (N = 322) were randomized to view a series of Tweets characterizing psychopathology from a fixed mindset perspective, a growth mindset perspective, or, in the control condition, Tweets unrelated to psychopathology. Afterward, they completed a series of questionnaires designed to assess beliefs about recovery from depression and anxiety.ResultsParticipants in the growth mindset condition endorsed less pessimistic beliefs about their ability (i.e., self‐efficacy) to alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety, and they believed these symptoms to be less stable and innate relative to those in the fixed mindset condition.ConclusionSocial media communication that characterizes psychopathology from a growth mindset perspective may be a viable intervention for improving beliefs around mental health self‐efficacy and the malleable nature of mental illness, particularly depression and anxiety. Clinicians may be able to use social media platforms to promote functional beliefs around mental illness.

“…The video retrieval process in existing literature involved both the user-preference-based MLS strategy [ 19 , 30 , 31 , 33 – 35 ] and the mainly used DCS strategy [ 13 , 16 , 36 – 40 ], and four cut-off sample sizes ( n = 50 [ 13 , 33 ], 100 [ 16 , 19 , 34 , 35 , 38 – 40 ], 150 [ 30 ] and 200 [ 31 , 36 , 37 ]) were all reported. This is the first study to analyze whether these two retrieval algorithms influence the audience-available video quality and audience engagement.…”

Background TikTok is emerging as a vital platform for health information dissemination. Despite myopia being a global public health issue, the high-quality myopia information shared by health educators often fails to go viral. It is imperative to analyze the factors influencing video quality and popularity, especially from diverse perspectives of researchers, health educators, and audiences. Methods TikTok myopia-related videos were retrieved using TikTok’s default comprehensive search (DCS) and most liked search (MLS) strategies. Venn diagrams were employed to illustrate the relationships and commonalities between the two strategies across four sample sizes (top 200, 150, 100, and 50). Video metadata, including details such as creator information, production properties, upload time, video duration, and viewer engagement, were collected. Video quality was assessed using the DISCERN tool. Video content covering six aspects of myopia were evaluated. The impact of search strategies, video sample sizes, production properties, and myopia content on video quality and audience engagement was analyzed through single-factor or multi-factor analysis. Results DCS and MLS retrieval strategies, as well as varying sample sizes, resulted in differences in audience engagement for myopia videos (P < 0.039), while The DISCERN quality scores remained comparable (P > 0.221). Videos published by healthcare professionals (HCPs) and non-profit organizations (NPOs) were associated with high-quality (P ≤ 0.014) but comparatively lower popularity (P < 0.033). Videos that reported contents of risk factors, management, and outcomes showed high popularity (P < 0.018), while longer video duration (> 60s) exhibited the opposite trend (P < 0.032). Content on myopia evaluation (P ≤ 0.001) and management (P ≤ 0.022) and video duration were positively correlated with higher DISCERN quality. Conclusion Videos created by HCPs and NPOs deserve greater attention. Rather than pursuing entertaining effects, professional educators should emphasize producing concise, and high-quality myopia content that readily resonates with the audience and has the potential to go viral on the platform.

“…These interviews serve to capture diverse perspectives, attitudes, and experiences related to the incident (Lorenzo-Luaces et al, 2023). By engaging with multiple stakeholders, researchers can gain a comprehensive understanding of the incident's impact on different individuals and groups involved (Farid, 2023a).…”
