“…It is therefore important to highlight that provision of online support for NQNs does not offer a straightforward solution. Meikle (2016) notes that for all the benefits, social media may act as a form of surveillance, in which the user loses control over how their information is shared. NQNs voiced their concerns that a digital record of communication would be kept, they worried who might access a post and that simple expressions could be misinterpreted.…”

Aims and Objectives: To explore newly qualified nurses' support needs and their perceptions of online peer support. Background:The experience of being a newly qualified nurse is stressful and isolating. Support from colleagues and peers can enhance perceptions of competence and confidence in newly qualified nurses, improve well-being and aid retention. However, despite initiatives such as preceptorship, support needs may remain unmet in busy clinical environments. Online support has potential to offer a partial solution to professional isolation, but there is a lack of research into how technology can support nurses' emotional and social well-being.Design: A qualitative exploratory study was designed, employing semi-structured focus groups, analysed using thematic analysis. The study is reported in accordance with the COnsolidated criteria for REporting Qualitative research checklist.Methods: Eight focus groups, supplemented by one individual interview, were conducted with newly qualified nurses between June 2018-January 2019.Findings: Two main themes arose. The first was Drowning, a lot of the time with two subthemes: (i) Feelings and emotions about being a Newly Qualified Nurse: 'Absolutely terrified' and (ii) Support within the role: 'Somebody you can count on'. The second was Potential advantages and disadvantages of online modality: 'Somebody is going to get in that phone!' which included three sub-themes (i) Potential advantages, (ii) Potential disadvantages and (iii) Preferences and recommendations. Conclusions:This study demonstrates that if barriers can be overcome, then online support has potential to contribute to newly qualified nurses' well-being. Further research is needed to explore technical and ethical issues around online support and evaluate its effectiveness for newly qualified nurses. Relevance to clinical practice:Online support has the potential to add to existing strategies to support nurses during stressful times. This may be particularly relevant when many staff are working under increased pressure due to the COVID-19 pandemic. | 2925 JENKINS Et al.

“…Usually, they refer to a variety of services, such as social networking sites (e.g., Facebook, LinkedIn), blogs, wikis, content communities (e.g., YouTube, Flickr, SlideShare), and virtual worlds (e.g., Second Life, World of Warcraft). Drawing from existing definitions and theories, it appears that social media has some common characteristics: (i) Web 2.0 philosophy (Kaplan and Haenlein, 2010), (ii) sharing (Fuchs, 2015;Meikle, 2016), (iii) social networks (Boyd and Ellison, 2008), (iv) new forms of socialisation (Obar and Wildman, 2015). All of these features make social media a Vol.…”

Social media has become a source of information for individuals making decisions in financial institutions worldwide. As a part of Business Intelligence systems, platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn provide financial market professionals with a magnitude of market data-for example, stock price expectations, customer insights, and market sentiment. Based on 415 survey responses of financial market professionals in Poland (purposive sample), this study examines factors behind social media usage in financial institutions. We found that decision-makers representing these institutions seldom use social media for job-related purposes. However, the professionals from institutions that manage more diversified asset portfolios and hold the most risky assets in the portfolios, are more likely to use social media for information purposes. We also found that the value of assets does not affect the use of social media for information purposes among financial market professionals in Poland. This implies that representatives of certain types of financial institutions are more inclined to use social media for professional purposes. Our study offers an insight into the variables that best explain the decision to monitor social media content by financial market professionals. Thus, it can provide a basis of recommendations aiming to enhance the market for business information.

“…Furthermore, sharenting needs to be studied for its conjunctions with general practices and meanings of sharing shaped by social media platforms policies and by contemporary cultural shifts (see, for instance, Katrini, 2018) which show frictions with privacy and security needs (e.g. John, 2017;Meikle, 2016) and outline new dynamics of power and resistance between social media platforms companies and users (see, for instance, Fuchs, 2013).…”

Sharenting – a new term emerged over the past 10 years – refers to the practice of sharing textual and audiovisual contents concerning children online by their parents or guardians, potentially impacting the construction of children’s digital identity before they can reach the age of consent. Based on a passive virtual ethnography carried out comparatively in Italian-speaking and English-speaking virtual communities focusing on children’s wellbeing and health, this paper offers an empirical contribution to the study of sharenting. While contributing to the wider debates on the practices and discourses about sharing in digital media, this paper provides an analysis of how online and offline parenting cultures affect sharenting practices; how the consequences of sharenting are addressed in online communities; and how the privacy vs openness tension about sharing contents is negotiated by parents with regards to their own and children needs even in terms of digital security.
