“…On another note, the marketing of careers in different pharmaceutical fields by former graduates through conferences or invitations to speak at pharmacy colleges had an impact on numerous participants in the current study as shown in Table 3 . Moreover, previous graduates and employers are also encouraged to promote a better understanding and explanation of their careers on social media since only 17.8% of participants reported being influenced by information they found on such platforms even though one survey found that pharmacy students use all common social media websites for professional and educational purposes [ 27 ].…”

Background Hundreds of pharmacists graduate from pharmacy colleges in Saudi Arabia, and various factors influence their choice of career pathway. Very few single-institution studies assessed career choices of pharmacy students with or without evaluating the influencing factors. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate career choices and the associating factors of pharmacy interns from multiple colleges in Saudi Arabia. Methods This was a cross-sectional study that surveyed pharmacy interns from 25 pharmacy colleges in Saudi Arabia using an online questionnaire. The survey was sent during the last rotation month in the internship year (May–June 2022). Results Of 454 participants, 411 (90.5%) were enrolled in Doctor of Pharmacy programs. While most participants were interested in becoming clinical pharmacists (n = 183; 40.3%), a considerable number were also interested in working in different sectors of pharmaceutical companies and industry (n = 127; 28%). Internship training significantly correlated with selecting clinical pharmacy specialist career (r = 0.19; P = 0.0001), whereas salary/financial incentives significantly influenced the choice of working as sales and marketing representatives and pharmacy product specialists in pharmaceutical companies (r = 0.29 and 0.24; P < 0.0001 for both). College courses correlated with choosing academia in pharmaceutical sciences (r = 0.20; P < 0.0001), whereas summer training correlated with the community pharmacy career (r = 0.11; P = 0.02). Conclusion Pharmacy colleges should utilize results from this study to enhance the exposure of pharmacy students during their academic years to different pharmacy career pathways by allowing the opportunity to shadow pharmacists from different sectors as part of college courses, inviting previous graduates, and activating the role of academic advisors in career orientation.

“…La interacción de las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación (TIC) con las actividades diarias del estudiante, revelan resultados positivos que contribuyen a la comprensión actual sobre cómo aprovechan tales tecnologías para mejorar la interacción entre ellos, con sus profesores y los contenidos del curso (Hamid et al, 2015). Los estudiantes suelen utilizar Facebook, Instagram y Snapchat por motivos personales y LinkedIn, Facebook y YouTube con mayor frecuencia por motivos profesionales (Jeminiwa et al, 2021;De Laura et al, 2023), del mismo modo al consumo de videos de diversión, desafíos o juegos (Kopecký et al, 2020). Price et al (2022), han estudiado el doomscrolling, a través de una asociación negativa entre el consumo diario de medios sociales y tradicionales y los síntomas de salud mental durante la pandemia por el Covid-19.…”

El estudio examina cómo la post-pandemia influyó en las actividades digitales de estudiantes universitarios peruanos, destacando el surgimiento de un "estilo de vida electrónico" debido al aislamiento. Se estudió la relación entre este nuevo estilo y el valor otorgado a internet, concluyendo que este valor difiere entre géneros. Se realizó una encuesta a 189 estudiantes, utilizando un modelo basado en el concepto de e-lifestyle. Los hallazgos reflejan nuevas necesidades e intereses digitales post-pandemia y el cambio en la percepción de la importancia de internet.
