“…Advantages of this type of intervention are related to the fact that social networks have the potential to reach hundreds, thousands and even millions of users (25) , especially those from younger age groups (31) . Another way to use social networks would be to perform nursing interventions through text messages, which may be especially advantageous for promoting physical activity or eating behaviors, for example (41,44,59) . Interventions of this kind have advantages compared to traditional face-to-face interventions, being that the participant does not need to attend the sessions in person and has unlimited access to the intervention materials whenever they wish (41) .…”

Objective: To identify and analyze the available evidence in the literature on the use of social networks in nursing work processes. Method: An integrative review of the literature conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE and LILACS databases in January 2016, using the descriptors social media, social networking, nursing, enfermagem, redes sociais, mídias sociais, and the keyword nursing practice, without year restriction. Results: The sample consisted of 27 international articles which were published between 2011 and 2016. The social networks used were Facebook (66.5%), Twitter (30%) and WhatsApp (3.5%). In 70.5% of the studies, social networks were used for research purposes, in 18.5% they were used as a tool aimed to assist students in academic activities, and in 11% for executing interventions via the internet. Conclusion: Nurses have used social networks in their work processes such as Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp to research, teach and watch. The articles show several benefits in using such tools in the nursing profession; however, ethical considerations regarding the use of social networks deserve further discussion. descriPtors Nursing; Social Networking; Nursing Informatics; Review.

“…The evidence we do have is often either descriptive or based on small-scale trials [4,[12][13][14][15] creating the risk that social marketers will incorporate Facebook into their campaigns without considering the role the platform would play.
