“…Over half of university students strongly or somewhat liked using Facebook for research conducted by university researchers [153]. Zaballos et al [154] developed a web-based multiplatform that integrated WhatsApp and emails to assess the quality of life of individuals with hearing loss issues; the tool facilitated data collection in an easy-to-use platform.…”

Background As the world continues to advance technologically, social media (SM) is becoming an essential part of billions of people’s lives worldwide and is affecting almost every industry imaginable. As the world is becoming more digitally oriented, the health care industry is increasingly visualizing SM as an important channel for health care promotion, employment, recruiting new patients, marketing for health care providers (HCPs), building a better brand name, etc. HCPs are bound to ethical principles toward their colleagues, patients, and the public in the digital world as much as in the real world. Objective This review aims to shed light on SM use worldwide and to discuss how it has been used as an essential tool in the health care industry from the perspective of HCPs. Methods A literature review was conducted between March and April 2020 using MEDLINE, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science for all English-language medical studies that were published since 2007 and discussed SM use in any form for health care. Studies that were not in English, whose full text was not accessible, or that investigated patients’ perspectives were excluded from this part, as were reviews pertaining to ethical and legal considerations in SM use. Results The initial search yielded 83 studies. More studies were included from article references, and a total of 158 studies were reviewed. SM uses were best categorized as health promotion, career development or practice promotion, recruitment, professional networking or destressing, medical education, telemedicine, scientific research, influencing health behavior, and public health care issues. Conclusions Multidimensional health care, including the pairing of health care with SM and other forms of communication, has been shown to be very successful. Striking the right balance between digital and traditional health care is important.

“…In Spain, investigators confirmed the construct validity of the first Spanish version of KINDL for evaluating students in 2 public schools in Asturias (Fern andez-L opez et al, 2004). The psychometric properties of the KINDL R questionnaire satisfied the standards of reliability, validity, and sensitivity on scales for different contexts (i.e., languages, countries, diseases, and populations) (see Lee et al, 2008;Serra-Sutton et al, 2009;Stevanovic, 2009;Yamaguchi et al, 2010;Warner-Czyz et al, 2011;Stevanovic et al, 2013;Jardine et al, 2014;Sakiz et al, 2015;Paixão et al, 2016;Rojhani Shirazi, Tonekaboni, Azargashb, Derakhshannia and Aghdasta, 2016;Razafimahefa-Raoelina et al, 2016;Navarro and Merino, 2016;P erez Zaballos, Ramos Macías, P erez Placencia, Borkoski Barreiro and Ramos de Miguel, 2016;Neumann et al, 2017;Hoffman et al, 2018).…”

Objectives: First, this study aimed at evaluating the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and socio-demographic characteristics of children with cochlear implants (CIs) and hearing aids (HAs) from the 2 provinces of the Canary Islands (Spain) on the Kid-KINDL R _children_7-13. The second goal was to analyze parental background factors and the perspectives of their children with CIs and HAs on Kid_Kiddo-KINDL R _Parents_ 7-17. Finally, the third objective was to explore agreement between children's self-reports and their parents' reports concerning HRQoL. Design: The data consisted of 89 children with CIs and 63 children with HAs and their 89 parents, respectively. The socio-demographic characteristics of children and parental background factors included demographic and audiological variables. Student's t-test, one-way ANOVA, post hoc analysis and 4 concordance correlation coefficients (CCC) were used to address the 3 aims. Results: Children with CIs exhibited a perception of better HRQoL in comparison with children with HAs. Among other differences, children with CIs and HAs and their parents were significantly distinct in Setting (i.e., provinces of Tenerife and Gran Canaria) (t ¼ 2.921, p < 0.010). Moreover, parents were significantly different in some background factors (i.e., age, socioeconomic status, and learning). While Cohen's Kappa values for most dimensions were too small, the ICC and Student's t-test expressed only concordance in the overall HRQoL and Physical well-being. Conclusions: Children with CIs and their parents demostrated a perception of better HRQoL than children with HAs and their parents. Overall, children's self-ratings of HRQoL differed from their parents' reports.

“…Las propiedades psicométricas del cuestionario KINDL cumplieron los estándares de confiabilidad, validez y sensibilidad en las escalas cuando se ajustaron a diferentes contextos (idiomas, países, enfermedades y poblaciones). En el caso español [6] se propuso una versión del instrumento que era semántica y culturalmente equivalente al KINDL alemán empleándose el mismo en diferentes estudios posteriores llevados a cabo en Canarias [7,8].…”
