“…This practice poses a challenge to professionalism [ 59 ] and involves concerns related to both the privacy of the patient and consent to the availability of such data [ 60 ]. Although this paper does not explore the aforementioned issue, it is highly recommended to take strong measures to protect personal data when using such devices, expressly restricting the sharing of information through social media platforms [ 61 ], health information systems [ 62 ] or computer programs that are not subject to the security systems of healthcare centres [ 8 , 63 ]. However, with respect to the data on paper, this work did show that approximately 43 % of the students disposed of copies of non-anonymized patient CH reports outside the healthcare sphere, in most cases without obtaining the patients’ consent (82.1 %).…”

Background Encouraging professional integrity is vital for providing a standard of excellence in quality medical care and education and in promoting a culture of respect and responsibility. The primary objective of this work consisted of studying the relationship of medical students to the right to patient privacy in Spain, specifically by analysing the conditions for accessing patient clinical histories (CHs). Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted based on a questionnaire sent by e-mail to final-year students at 41 Spanish universities. It had 14 multiple choice and closed questions framed in 3 large blocks. The first question addressed basic general knowledge issues on the right to privacy and the obligation for confidentiality. The two remaining blocks were made up of questions directed towards evaluating the frequency with which certain requirements and action steps related to students attending patients were performed and regarding the guarantees associated with accessing and handling patient CHs both on paper and in the Electronic Medical Record. Results A total of 245 valid replies were considered. A total of 67.8 % of participants were women, with an average age of 24.05 ± 3.49 years. Up to 90.6 % were aware that confidentiality affected the data in CHs, although 43.3 % possessed non-anonymized photocopies of patient clinical reports outside the healthcare context, and only 49.8 % of the students were always adequately identified. A total of 59.2 % accessed patient CHs on some occasions by using passwords belonging to healthcare professionals, 77.2 % of them did not have the patients’ express consent, and 71.9 % accessed a CH that was not anonymised. Conclusions The role of healthcare institutions and universities is considered to be fundamental in implementing educational measures regarding the risks and ethical and legal problems arising from the use of CHs among professionals and students. A thorough study of medical ethics is needed through the analysis of clinical cases and direct exposure to situations in which the patient’s confidentiality is questioned.

“…En cuanto a las faltas de comportamiento profesional Villamizar y col. (39), en el año 2014 en Colombia, realizaron un meta análisis sobre el uso de RS, reportando altas tasas de faltas al profesionalismo médico entre estudiantes y graduados particularmente respecto a la publicación inadecuada en RS de fotografías o vídeos de pacientes como la más frecuente, sin embargo se identificaron otras faltas a la ética como violación de la confidencialidad, uso de lenguaje obsceno, pérdida de atención durante la consulta médica directa por desviar la atención hacia el uso de las RS o comentarios poco profesionales o indecorosos para la ética médica con tasas superiores al 50 % de perfiles públicos utilizados para estas prácticas, donde además de evaluar 3 RS como son Facebook, Twitter (hoy en día X) e Instagram, observaron una tasa de un 95,3% de publicación de información considerada poco profesional, mucho mayor a la observada en otros países, donde las tasas oscilan de 50-65 % (3,(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48)(49)(50)(51)(52)(53).…”

The proliferation of professional use of social networks in obstetrics and gynecology by specialists and residents in training entails a series of bioethical aspects that should not be neglected. These go hand in hand with the emergence of the networked society and homo digitalis, taking into account the ontology of the digital being. The doctor-patient relationship has a series of characteristics and functions that should not be lost due to the emergence of e-professionalism in interaction on social networks, especially in the face of the high incidence of lack of professionalism in them. The review of the literature on its use in the specialty allows us to develop a series of recommendations whose guidelines allow for appropriate professional behavior in online interactions. Following these recommendations will help avoid online professional exposure and subsequent legal liability
