ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Social media usage has been ubiquitous and extensively integrated into the daily lives of student nurses. However, there exists a paucity of understanding regarding the influence of social media on student nurses' personal and professional development.OBJECTIVE:
To examine the influence of social media on student nurses' personal and professional values.DESIGN:
A systematic mixed-studies review.METHODS:
English language published studies were sourced from hand searches and seven electronic databases (PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO, ProQuest Dissertation and Theses Global, Scopus, and Web of Science) from the inception of each database to January 2023.RESULTS:
Twenty-six studies were included. Two main themes and eight subthemes were derived through thematic synthesis. The first main theme, Shaping Student Nurses into Nurses, included four subthemes 1.1) Personal Development, 1.2) Professional Development, 1.3) Advocacy, and 1.4) Networking. The second main theme, Repercussions of Social Media Usage, included four subthemes 2.1) Frustrations, 2.2) Discriminative Feelings, 2.3) Compulsive feelings, and 2.4) Consequences of Inappropriate Usage.CONCLUSION:
The ubiquitous utilization of social media among the current generation of student nurses, for personal, educational, and professional purposes, has precipitated transformative effects conducive to their holistic development. Notwithstanding the potential perils associated with privacy violation and inappropriate usage, educational institutions can develop pedagogical strategies and guidelines in collaboration with healthcare institutions and professionals, aimed at the incorporation of social media within the educational curricula and the prospective workplace environments of student nurses.Palavras-chave
