Sažetak
Introduction: The digital revolution has had a profound impact on medicine and patient care. As the use of social media (SM) has greatly increased among health professionals, it is necessary to investigate their use of SM. New standards are forming in the context of e-professionalism. The term “eprofessionalism” is defined as “attitudes and behaviors (some of which may occur in private settings) reflecting traditional professionalism paradigms that are manifested through digital media”. The development of technology, novel communication, and social networking can positively or negatively affect the therapeutic alliance between patients and psychiatrists. The objectives of this study were to assess the level of and to characterize e- professionalism on publicly available Facebook (FB) profiles of psychiatrist in Croatia. Methods: Content analysis of FB profiles of psychiatrist was performed. A search was performed via a new FB account using a publicly available Directory of physicians in Croatia, available at the web-site of the Croatian Chamber of Physicians. All psychiatrists listed in the directory were included in the analysis. Each profile was subsequently assessed with regard to e-professionalism based on previously published criteria and compared using the SMePROF coding scheme. Results and discussion: The sample of psychiatrist's list of names included 175 names. FB profiles were identified for 30.9% (54/175) psychiatrists. Displayed relationship status was found for 13 % (7/54). Among psychiatrists with identifiable FB accounts, potentially unprofessional content was observed for 5.6% (3/54). None of the accounts had any unprofessional content. The level of e- professionalism on Facebook profiles of Croatian psychiatrists available for public viewing has shown a high level of understanding of e- professionalism. Research support (Conflict of interest disclosure): This study was funded by the Croatian Science Foundation under project UIP-05- 2017 Dangers and benefits of social networks: E- Professionalism of healthcare professionals— SMePROF.
