“…Improved communication was cited as one of the benefits of SoMe, however, Lofters et al reported that the online group was unnecessary, added extra time to their already demanding schedules and that face-to-face communication was preferred. The same concerns were reported by Jones et al (2016a), who also stated that students became distanced from their peers, and failed to create professional friendships. Another issue raised in the literature is the reluctance to change or to learn a new skill, which may inhibit SoMe working in education (Maloney et al 2014;Stephens and Gunthers 2016).…”

“…Conversely, Jones et al (2016a) stated that quieter students are dominated and overpowered by assertive students when using SoMe just as they are in the classroom. A common issue noted was the relationship between online communication and social relationships, with 93% of young adults having an online presence and 32% using of them using SoMe to build social connections (Maloney et al 2014).…”

“…which is a vital skill for nurses to possess from an early point in their career. It is reported that blogs encourage education through dialogues, which are also designed to develop reasoning and rational thinking skills (Jones et al 2016a). This prompted users to frequently reflect on how they work, and identify areas for improvement.…”

“…Another area of concern was raised by Tubaishat (2018), who claimed that SoMe contributed to procrastination and its use in education is related to lower academic successes. Similarly, Jones et al (2016a) reported that SoMe reduced academic writing skills and encouraged plagiarism, as it becomes easier to copy and paste information online.…”

“…Stephens and Gunthers (2016) argue that students are cautious about sharing ideas in public spaces as posts are open to misinterpretation, which can mislead and confuse the reader. This may cause cyberbullying or trolling, which may make students less likely to use SoMe for professional purposes (Booth 2015;Stephen and Gunthers 2016;Jones et al 2016a). To summarise, potential pitfalls of SoMe use in education do exist.…”

Objectives: The exponential rise of social media (SoMe) has transformed how people connect, learn, and network. The use of SoMe in health education is in its infancy. The objective of the review was to examine the use of SoMe by healthcare students, professionals and educators to ascertain if the use of SoMe enhanced the learning experience. Design: An integrative literature review was completed in February 2019. Data sources: Three databases were used to facilitate the literature search (Medline (Ovid), Cinahl, and Scopus). Review methods: Inclusion and exclusion criteria for the literature search were applied and PRISMA guidelines followed. The search retrieved 316 citations. Forty-seven duplicate articles were removed at this stage. Titles and abstracts were screened and 215 excluded as they were not relevant. The remaining articles were assessed for eligibility and 37 were excluded for not meeting the review requirements. Results: Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP 2019) checklists primarily guided the critique of the literature, with the Caldwell et al. (2011) approach used to supplement the critique of health-related research studies. 17 research studies are included in this review. Themes were developed using Braun and Clarke's (2006) approach. Five reoccurring themes emerged: communication and collaboration, a source of reference, personal development, pitfalls and ethical concerns. Conclusions: This review provides a synthesis of SoMe use in healthcare education. SoMe is an excellent educational resource which can provide advantages in education. Areas of concern were noted and the need for improved policy and guidance highlighted. Further research and education on SoMe use in healthcare education is essential for educators, students and practitioners.

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background Student academic incivility is a serious problem in nursing education because it negatively influences the learning process, wellbeing of faculty members, and faculty–student relationships. The aim of this study was to explore nursing faculty experiences related to student incivility in nursing education. Methods We used an exploratory qualitative methodology and conducted in-depth interviews with 14 nursing faculty members working at 11 nursing universities in South Korea. A qualitative content analysis was carried out. Results The six themes that emerged from the faculty experiences were nursing student indifference to teachers’ expectations; ignoring behavioral standards in school life; differing responses to uncivil student behavior; self-reflection as a nursing educator; negative impact on faculty in a nursing education context; and awareness of civility in a nursing education context. Conclusion Dealing with student academic incivility in nursing education is one of the most challenging tasks for faculty members, and it should be managed to provide a comfortable learning environment. The present study delineated the uncivil behavior experienced by the faculty and their negative effects in the educational context and suggested alternatives to manage student incivility and foster a positive educational environment through the eyes of the faculty. The findings of this study suggest an evidence-based direction for fostering a culture of civility in nursing schools.
