“…The immense interest in seeking dermatology-related educational material on Facebook is demonstrated by the higher median engagement rate of educational dermatologic topics over other types of dermatology posts in both patient-centered or community related pages [ 40 ]. Although nuanced, familiarizing oneself with the platform and the ways in which it can be used to address the massive amounts of existing misinformation is crucial.…”

Purpose of Review We explore the utility of social media platforms as educational tools in dermatology, providing a summary of how these sites are used by the public and dermatologists alike, and demonstrating ways these findings may be applied for educational purposes. Recent Findings Over half of the world’s population utilizes social media platforms. More recently, these platforms have increasingly been used for educational purposes. In the field of dermatology, a large portion of the educational content is coming from users with no formal medical or dermatologic training. Summary Each of the top five social media platforms in the world (Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook) has unique qualities which people may utilize to educate fellow users. As more of the population seeks online health information and education, it is important that dermatologists, while taking ethical considerations into account, become more comfortable facilitating educational content on social media.

“…The rise of online ‘virtual communities’ for patient conditions has made it easier to rapidly disseminate electronic surveys to potential research subjects, which has been commonplace within online spaces relating to treatment practices across a number of dermatological conditions [ 58 ]. Social media platforms such as Facebook play a critical role in the dissemination of information pertinent to dermatology research to the public, with one study identifying significant engagement rates relating to academic journal articles and educational posts [ 59 ].…”

Patient and Public Involvement in Dermatology Research: A Review

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Patient and public involvement (PPI) in research is defined as research being carried out ‘with’ or ‘by’ members of the public, patients, and carers, on both an individual and a group level, rather than simply ‘about’, or ‘for’ them. Within dermatology, PPI is increasingly recognised as a vital component of research as it helps to ensure that research remains relevant to the populations we intend to serve. Dermatology scholarship, with its rich psychosocial implications due to the stigma, physical disability, and mental health burdens these conditions may incur, is in a unique position to benefit from PPI to unlock previously inaccessible patient lived experiences or therapeutic consequences. Throughout the rapid growth of PPI, it has been infused throughout the research lifecycle, from design to dissemination and beyond. After first explaining the principles of PPI, we examine the existing evidence base at each research stage to explore whether our specialty has effectively harnessed this approach and to identify any subsequent impact of PPI. Finally, we scrutinise the challenges faced by those implementing PPI in dermatology research.

Public Engagement with Dermatology Contents on Facebook

Abstract: Educational posts engaged with online users the most effectively. The level of engagement is a key determinant of knowledge dissemination via online tools, and the type of content may influence the level of engagement.
