Method: integrative literature review in the databases: LILACS, IBECS, Cochrane, BDENF, SciELO, CINAHL, Scopus, PubMed, CAPES Periodicals Portal and Web of Science, using the descriptors: social networking and nursing education and the keywords: social networking sites and nursing education, carried out in April 2015. Results: of the 489 articles found, only 14 met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Most studies were published after 2013 (57%), originating from the United States and United Kingdom (77.8%). It was observed the use of social networking among nursing students, postgraduate students, mentors and nurses, in undergraduate programmes, hybrid education (blended-learning) and in interprofessional education. The social networking sites used in the teaching and learning process were Facebook (42.8%), Ning (28.5%), Twitter (21.4%) and MySpace (7.1%), by means of audios, videos, quizzes, animations, forums, guidance, support, discussions and research group. Conclusion: few experiences of the use of social networking in nursing education were found and their contributions show the numerous benefits and difficulties faced, providing resourses for the improvement and revaluation of their use in the teaching and learning process.

“…However, in Turkey, no study is available determining the occupational characteristics and profiles of nurses working in the internal medicine units, regarding the education of patients with type 2 diabetes. It is thought that this study will increase the awareness of clinic nurses about diabetes education and contribute to the formation of a database that will help individuals understand better the relationship between the patient education, which is an important role of nurses, and the attitude toward diseases [11]. Since patients with diabetes always encounter with nurses in clinics as a result of any acute or chronic situations.…”

Background and aim: No study is available determining the occupational characteristics and profiles of nurses working in the internal medicine units, regarding the education of patients with type 2 diabetes in Turkey. The aim of this study was to determine the profile of clinic nurses regarding diabetes education. Materials and methods:Nurses (n=180), who were working in the internal medicine clinics between September and October 2015, were included in this cross-sectional study. The data were collected using a questionnaire. This study was approved by the ethical review boards at the authors'institution (and each hospital). In consequence of the research, the Statistical Package for Social Sciences 16.0 program was used for statistical analyses while acquired data were being assessed. Results: The mean age of the nurses was 29.26 ± 6.12 years; the vast majority of nurses were female and with bachelor's degree; more than half of them were working in the Southeastern Anatolia region, others were equally in the Aegean region, and Black Sea region. Nurses work mostly in the following clinics: general internal medicine clinic, neurology clinic, and chest clinic. In the study, 55.1% of nurses were found to provide diabetes education for patients in their clinics, and 83.5% of the education was individual patient education. The first three subjects of education given by the nurses were "the importance of insulin therapy, insulin injection sites, site rotation, side effects of insulin therapy, and preservation of insulin" (16.0%); "the definition of antidiabetic drugs and how to use them" (14.0%); and "the definition and symptoms of diabetes" (13.8%). Conclusion:The in-service diabetes education should be increased, and the number of nurses who can provide in-service diabetes education should be increased.

“…Social networking media are a web-based means for people to share information in an online community with approved followers (Lane & Coleman, 2012). Social networking first appeared in the 1990s and is designed to engage users with one or more social connections that allow one to bond with the outside world (Wink, 2010), with Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn and Twitter are well-known names in this space (Lane & Coleman, 2012). Active global social media users are reported to be reaching 3.196 billion users representing a 42% penetration rate (Newberry, 2018).…”

Purpose: The study is concerned with the examination and analysis of the factors that affect an international traveler's intention to purchase travel services online before visiting Thailand. Presently, the Kingdom is the 10 th most visited country in the world. Design/Methodology/Approach: The research instrument consisted of a 45 item, seven-part questionnaire which used a seven-level Likert type agreement scale to gather the opinions of the 585 international travelers to Thailand. LISREL 9.1 was used to conduct the initial confirmatory factor analysis [CFA] and the structural equation modeling [SEM] of the 12 hypotheses model, which contained six latent and 18 observed variables. Findings: Trust was determined to play the most significant role in a traveler's use and purchase of online travel services. There were also significant relationships between the traveler's attitude and perception of an online website's ease of use and trust. Results indicated that Booking.com was chosen by the majority of the surveyed respondents (38.12%), while Agoda (21.2%) was a distant second. The variables ranked in importance included trust, perceived ease of use, the traveler's attitude, the social networks, and the perceived risk. Practical Implications: As yet, it appears that consumer international online travel bookings are still focused on price, with a traveler's trust of the website and underlying company far and away is the most crucial factor for a purchase to be made. Also, companies should know that travelers rely heavily on other's opinions and this is paramount in importance in the purchase process. Originality/Value: The results of this study sheds some light on how international travelers use social media and networks, which can be of si gnificant economic importance to tourism and infrastructure use planners.
