[…] •The social media outlets may have influenced HCWs indirectly •Almost one‐third of vaccine recipients were motivated by their friends/ coworkers, some of whom may have been influenced by the social media. Venciet al, Inclusion of social media‐based strategies in a health care worker influenza immunization campaign 46 American Journal of Infection Control, 43(8), 902–903. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ajic.2015.04.185 •A research librarian searched 11 databases in January 2012: Medline, CENTRAL, ERIC, PubMed, CINAHL Plus Full Text, Academic Search Complete, Alt Health Watch, Health Source, Communication and Mass Media Complete, Web of Knowledge and ProQuest. Dates were restricted to 2000 or later, corresponding to the advent of Web 2.0. •Results:Two hundred eighty‐four studieswere included. – Discussion forums were highly prevalent and constitute 66.6% of the sample. –Social networking sites (14.8%) and blogs/microblogs (14.1%) were the next most commonly used tools. • Conclusions: There is an extensive body of literature examining the use of social media in patient and caregiver populations. Much of this work is descriptive; however, with such widespread use, evaluations of effectiveness are required. In studies that have examined effectiveness, positive conclusions are often reported, despite non‐ significant findings. Social media use among patients and caregivers: a scoping review (Hamm et al., 2013) 47 •Aim:to improve internal medicine residents’ (IMR) knowledge of correct antimicrobial use and increase their uptake of clinical pathways and order sets through the use of social media. • Methodology: The investigators enrolled 55 IMRs, and asked them to follow the hospital’s antimicrobial stewardship program (ASP) on Facebook or Twitter for 6 months. –posted statements on the social media sites promoting the hospital’s ASP website and clinical pathways, focusing on the pathway for community‐acquired pneumonia. –posted and tweeted questions about antimicrobial prescribing. – residents were encouraged to respond, and answers were posted and tweeted by the research team the next business day •Pretest and post‐test surveys were completed by 39 IMRs –median scores for Abx knowledge increased from 12(interquartile range, 8‐13) to 13(interquartile range, 11‐15; P = .048) –IMRsknowing how to access the ASP website increased from 70% to 94%. –More IMRs indicated that they used the clinical pathways"sometimes, frequently, or always" after the intervention (33% vs 61%, P = .004) •Conclusions:Social media is a valuable tool to reinforce ASP initiatives while encouraging the use of ASP resources to promote antimicrobial mindfulness. Social media as a tool for antimicrobial stewardship (Pisano et al., 2016) 48 •These positive results are notable; however, it is possible they were the result of maturation rather than the social media intervention. … Without a control group, it is difficult to sort out maturation effects from intervention effects. •Despite the threat of maturation bias, this study is important because it suggests a relatively simple and inexpensive <mark...
