“…In the exemplar study, transparency was achieved by 1) including a personal reflection about experiences and assumptions of the topic, 2) conducting a review of the current research literature and identifying gaps in knowledge and, 3) examining and scoping the proposed 'problem' through review of current evidence. This included a scoping review of Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) competency hearings linked to OSNs (Ryan, 2015), academic (peer) reflections and discussion, personal observations in the online environment and media coverage of relevant themes.…”

“…As part of the original literature review and justification of the project, a literature search and content analysis (Ryan, 2016) was conducted to assess the current advice and guidance given to nurses when using social media.

“…Nurses use social media to communicate with other health professionals, to support health education, to obtain up‐to‐date information that will reinforce professional development and to share their experiences (Farrelly ). Behaviours like sharing photographs and information of patients or other health workers, friending patients on social media and leaving inappropriate comments about the employing institute or the occupation and thus blurring the borders of professionalism by creating ethic risks for patients, health workers and health systems (Ryan ; Watson ).…”

Aim This study aimed to evaluate nurses’ ability to evaluate ethical violations to hypothetical case studies involving social media use. Background Inappropriate use of social media necessitates health institutes, academic institutes, nurses and educators to consider occupational ethical principles while creating a policy and guide on the usage of social media. Method The data were collected confidentially from the nurses working at a university hospital in Turkey, using the Personal Information Form and the Ethic Case Form. The study was carried out using descriptive and inferential analysis. Findings Analysis of the data showed that the majority of the nurses had received training in ethics, used WhatsApp social media application most often, spent less than an hour a day on social media platforms and used social media to follow daily posts. Analyses of the ethical case evaluations showed that nurses’ level of education and ethics training status was influential on their Case 1 evaluations and the length of time they had worked was effective in Case 2 evaluations. When Case 3 evaluations of nurses were analysed according to ethics training, statistically significant differences were found. The analyses of the Case 4 and Case 5 evaluations showed that no statistically significant differences were found according to nurses’ descriptive characteristics. Conclusion The study determined that education level, ethical training status, the source of ethics training and the duration of their work in the profession were effective regarding the case evaluation of the nurses. Implications for nursing and health policy Nursing policymakers, educators, administrators and clinicians need to cooperate in the development of ethical awareness and creation of solutions to violations, the preparation of guidelines for social media use.

“…insensitive comments). Such scales seem to be taken from professional guidance and professional codes of conduct (Ryan, 2016). Professional and regulatory organisations publish guidance on the use of social media platforms such as Facebook that aim to raise awareness, set standards and ensure the reputation of the profession from a public perspective (NMC, 2016;Ryan, 2016;Nursing Council of New Zealand, 2013;Nursing & Midwifery Board of Ireland, 2013;American Nurses Association, 2011).…”

However, from the focus of published research literature, it could be argued that few of these guidelines have considered what the public deem to be unprofessional behaviour and thus, what they believe to reflect poorly on the profession [rather than the individual].…”

E-professionalism is a common term used to describe the behaviours of nurses and healthcare professionals in the online environment. There are a range of professional guidance documents that describe being professional online but there is little research into the perspectives of patients and the public.This mixed-method critical realist study aimed to explain how the public make decisions about what is e-professional. It used five 'real life' vignettes for the purposes of discussion in focus groups (n=8) and a survey (n=53).Participants felt that a nurse was entitled to a personal life, freedom of speech and promotion of causes the nurse believes to be important even if this was not aligned to their own attitudes.Profanities against anyone were unanimously rejected as acceptable.The public make decisions based on a range of complex factors: social/individual values, attitudes and beliefs and an ethical component about the 'intent' of behaviours that influences the public perspective. An evidence-based approach to e-professionalism is discussed.This study concludes with 'Media8', eight top tips drawn from a theoretical evidence-base for nurses and the nursing profession about how to 'be' and e-professional and manage their social media profiles.
