“…This enabled people to create and share content online instead of viewing webpages in a passive manner, with the number and type of social media platforms growing as new virtual spaces were added. This shift in contemporary communication spawned a new culture of open, collaborative creation and sharing of electronic information, using an array of formats (i.e., text, images, audio, video) that is now pervasive in society (Fraser, Booth, Tietze, & McBride, ). Social media encompass a huge range of digital applications from social networking sites (SNSs) to blogs, podcasts, webcasts and blended forms of these online tools.…”

“…Ultimately, the increasing interest in analysing social media in the 2010s must be highlighted in a context in which the representation of nurses on social media has become a widespread phenomenon. This contemporary change in communication has led to a pervasive culture of creating and sharing images of nursing (Fraser et al., 2015; O'Connor et al., 2018). Fortunately, today, nurses can represent themselves without being filtered or mediated by journalists.…”

AimTo systematically review the available evidence from research exploring the image of nurses in the media.BackgroundNurses have historically faced many challenges and have received media attention for such efforts. However, the image of nursing traditionally conveyed by media has failed to represent the real character and a positive image of the nursing profession.Review methodsFor this scoping literature review, a search was conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, PsycINFO, Web of Science and Dialnet to identify studies written in English, Spanish or Portuguese from the earliest date in the databases until February 2022. Four authors were involved in a two‐stage screening process. Data were subjected to quantitative content analysis. A decade‐by‐decade analysis was performed to track the evolution of the research.ResultsSixty studies were included. The analysis shows (1) an increasing interest in analysing the portrayal of nurses and nursing in media over time, especially from 2000 onwards; (2) a prevailing trend of focusing on one form of media when analysing the portrayal of nurses; (3) qualitative designs as the most frequent method for exploring the image of nursing; and (4) a predominantly negative image conveyed by media.ConclusionsThere is a notable body of scientific evidence about the image of nurses and nursing portrayed in media. The interest in analysing media depictions of nursing has a long history. The included studies’ samples showed heterogeneity, as they were obtained from different media, periods and countries.Implications for nursingThis scoping review is the first systematic review to provide a comprehensive map of what has been studied thus far regarding media depictions of nursing. It confirms the imperative need for nurses in different settings (academic, assistance or management fields) to maintain a proactive attitude towards addressing images of nursing and ensuring accurate representations.
