“…Se debe recalcar que las tecnologías cambian constantemente, por lo que las exigencias del estudiantado y sus hábitos de consumo de información también lo hacen (Guadamuz, 2020). Hecha esta salvedad, investigar cuáles son las actividades más comunes que efectúa el alumno de la UAZ con respecto a la utilización de redes sociales es importante, dado que estas tienen maneras diversas de comunicación entre personas en todo el mundo (Drude, 2021).…”

La Covid-19 impulsó el uso cotidiano de redes sociales como espacios digitales de interacción social entre los alumnos y profesores durante el confinamiento. La presente investigación se centra en conocer el uso que los alumnos de la Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas (UAZ), México, le dan a Facebook, Instagram y WhatsApp. Para esto, se aplicó un instrumento con relación a la utilización de redes sociales a 1131 estudiantes de la UAZ. Para procesar la información que se obtuvo se realizó un análisis multivariado de la varianza (Manova, por sus siglas en inglés) para confirmar la codependencia entre las variables investigadas. Igualmente, se elaboró un análisis factorial exploratorio (AFE) para observar el agrupamiento de los ítems estudiados. Se concluye que el grado de estudios y el área del conocimiento en el que se desenvuelven los estudiantes de la UAZ sí influyen para que exista un empleo diferenciado de Facebook, Instagram y WhatsApp.

The increasing infodemic, changes in the media landscape, and the COVID-19 pandemic have rendered healthcare professionals’ involvement in social media (SoMe) of urgent need. However, research efforts to understand the opinions, needs, and concerns of healthcare professionals (HCP) tackling this new responsibility have been limited, despite being necessary for designing efficient support for them. In this article we look at varying opinions and attitudes published by HCPs towards the use of SoMe as a tool to communicate health-related information to the public: How did their attitudes develop since the decade preceding the COVID-19 outbreak and what were their main expressed concerns over the years. We conducted a qualitative review of editorials published on this topic in academic journals since 2010 by searching five databases up to December 2022. Thirty-eight (38) articles met the selection criteria. Nineteen (19) expressed a positive attitude, and Nineteen (19) expressed a negative or cautious attitude. Based on the results, the research period (2010–2022) was divided into three stages: 2010–2015, 2016–2018, and 2019–2022. Attitudes in the first stage were positive, the middle was at almost a tie, and the last retreated to negative. The most common concerns cited regarding SoMe use by HCPs are negative effects on physician–patient relationships, HCPs’ professional image, patient privacy, the quality of the information provided, conflict of interest declarations, ethical and legal risks, the perception of medical consensus, limited resources, and competing with entertainment. The editorial opinions of HCPs towards professional SoMe use express shifting hesitancies. The earlier optimism succeeded in an era (pre-2010) of cautioning against engaging with SoMe. Concerns in the first stage were mainly related to HCP´s behavior and use of SoMe. The last phase’s concerns were more oriented toward SoMe platforms, their design, dynamics, and effect on public discourse, with the escalating infodemic and COVID-19 pandemic.
