Background Asthma is a condition in which the airways become inflamed and constricted, causing breathing difficulties, wheezing, coughing, and chest tightness. Social networks can have a substantial effect on asthma management and results. However, no studies of social networks addressing asthma have been undertaken. Objective The aim of this research was to identify the significant social network structures, key influencers, top topics, and sentiments of asthma-related Twitter conversations. Methods All the tweets collected for this study included the keyword “asthma” or were mentioned in or in replies to tweets that were performed. For this study, a random sample of Twitter data was collected using NodeXL Pro software between December 1, 2022, and January 29, 2023. The data collected includes the user's display name, Twitter handle, tweet text, and the tweet's publishing date and time. After being imported into the Gephi application, the NodeXL data were then shown using the Fruchterman-Reingold layout method. In our study, SNA (Social Network Analysis) metrics were utilized to identify the most popular subject using hashtags, sentiment-related phrases (positive, negative, or neutral), and top influencer by centrality measures (degree, betweenness). Results The study collected 48,122 tweets containing the keyword “asthma” or mentioned in replies. News reporters and journalists emerged as top influencers based on centrality measures in Twitter conversations about asthma, followed by government and healthcare institutions. Education, trigger factors (e.g., cat exposure, diet), and associated conditions were highly discussed topics on asthma-related social media posts (e.g., sarscov2, copd). Our study's sentiment analysis revealed that there were 8427 phrases associated neutral comments (18%), 12,582 words reflecting positive viewpoints (26%), and 27,111 words reflecting negative opinions (56%). Conclusion This study investigates the relevance of social media influencers, news reporters, health experts, health organizations, and the government in the dissemination and promotion of asthma-related education and awareness during public health information.

“…When introducing digital technologies, healthcare professionals need to change aspects of their work to meet the constraints and provisions of the material characteristics to appropriately use digital tools in their practice (Leonardi, 2013). Studies have shown that nurses perceive that digital tools make their work more efficient and that patients become more involved in their care (Huter et al , 2020; Schoultz et al , 2022), so they are often positive about the use of digital tools. However, it is also apparent that interactions between the healthcare professionals and patients become challenging when communicating via digital tools (Hedqvist et al , 2022).…”

Purpose This paper presents findings from a qualitative study of healthcare professionals’ practice, where learning is taking place when a digital artefact is implemented for identification of patients’ cognitive impairment. The use of digital artefacts is increasing in various workplaces, to include professionals in healthcare. This paper aims to explore the following research question: How is the professional learning unfolding in patient-based work when a digital artefact transforms the practice? Design/methodology/approach Various data collection methods are used for this study, consisting of dialogue meetings, interviews and a reference-group meeting. Thematic analysis is used to inductively bring forth the themes of the collected data. Findings Professionals’ knowledge and experience are of vital importance in learning and changing work practices. Together with their ability to reflect on changes, their knowledge and experience constitute the prefiguration when the introduction of a digital application brings about indeterminacy in the work practice. Originality/value This paper makes a contribution to practice-based research as it consolidates previous research and identifies professionals knowledge and learning in a healthcare context. This can be used to further explore and advance the field, as well as to establish the evidence-based importance of transforming practices based on implementation of digital artefacts.
