摘要:带宽的普及率越开越高,宽带网络的可用性和它不断改进的功能增强了社交媒体的易用性和吸引力。在高等教育阶段,学生使用互联网的人数明显地增加。社交媒体在卫生部门已经被广泛地投入使用,但是,目前在澳大利亚卫生专业学生使用社交媒体的情况却很少有人知道。本研究采用横断面的研究方法,将会探讨健康专业学生对社群媒体的使用情况及社交媒体对各种新闻资讯来源的偏好。我们对澳大利亚大部分州和地区的十所大学的卫生专业学生进行了全面的电子调查研究。调查对象为637名大学一年级的学生和451名最后大学四年级的学生。通过对大学一年级和大学四年级的电子调查研究,结果显示,健康专业学生对网络在线媒体是首选的信息来源,只有20%的学生提名传统的同行评审期刊作为首选信息来源。此外,结果表明,脸谱网的使用率在所有学生中很高,但是其他类型的社交媒体,如Twitter的使用仍然相对较低。
由于健康专业的学生经常与社会媒体接触,这种使用很可能会增长而不是减少,教育机构面临的挑战是考虑使用社会媒体作为一个有效的学习和教学平台。

互联网的日益普及和智能设备提高了可达性和社会媒体的吸引力(凯勒曼,2010,雷德芬et al.,2013)。社会媒体是指互联网网站和服务,支持协作收集,参与和共享(碛,Heibergert,amp;洛肯,2011)。社会化媒体不同于传统形式的广播媒体为他们提供小组互动,讨论的机会,或合作生产,随时随地(Coiera和墓葬,1998)。在社交媒体的形式提供广泛的包括社交网络,网络出版,内容共享和协作工具(2010卡普兰和亨,)。脸谱网,推特,Skypetrade;,YouTubetrade;、博客、Instagram和Flickrtrade;trade;,常用的社会化媒体平台的例子(曼戈尔德amp;福尔兹,2009)。2013,脸谱网有超过11亿9000万的月度活跃用户,每月活跃用户已经超过2亿1800万推特,和YouTube和Instagram各有10亿月活跃用户,全球(罩,2013)。
高等教育学生使用互联网的人数增加到了这样的程度,人们已经断言,问题不再是学生是否在使用互联网,而是他们的使用频率和容量(佐丹奴和佐丹奴,2011)。大量的研究表明,社交媒体和社交网络的形式对学生生活的重要组成部分(狐狸和琼斯,2009,碛和mastrodicasa,2007,和2005,mastrodicasa KEPIC,马特尼和Borland,2009)。大量的研究已经确定了高等教育技术和学生参与的使用之间的关系(Annetta et al.,2009,陈等人,2010,王和鲁滨孙,2009)。因此,教育工作者已经开始研究不同的整合社会媒体技术的方式进入学习过程(Grosseck和holotescu,2010,Rankin,2009,施罗德等人,2010)。碛等人。(2011)探讨了推特对高等教育学生参与和成绩的影响。他们发现,将Twitter纳入教育计划,可以改善学生之间的合作和联系,促进积极学习,并允许教育工作者及时反馈。
社交媒体已经广泛应用在卫生部门(Coiera和墓葬,1998)。例如,移动医疗已被用来发送和接收信息的客户(特殊和freytsis,2013),应用程序(应用程序)已经被开发并用于消费者持续的健康状况如青少年糖尿病(Larkin,2011),医院正在使用维基上传,评论,和编辑基础信息以更好的计划病人的护理(thielst,2011b),和学校护士使用社交媒体来保持与学生需要持续治疗的接触(奇尔弗斯,2011)。然而,关于保密和隐私的关注限制了社交媒体的使用在某种程度上在职业健康并导致社会媒体指南包括澳大利亚的医疗执业医师监管机构和澳大利亚护理和澳大利亚护理和助产联盟高校专业机构的发展(Coiera、2013、曼斯菲尔德等人,2011)。进步大学也制定了社会媒体指南供学生使用。这些准则为卫生保健专业人员和学生适当使用社会媒体提供了指导。在工作和学习时,学生必须理解使用社交媒体的含义。
卫生专业学生使用社会媒体的信息很少。这项研究的目的是确定第一年和最后一年的健康专业学生使用社交媒体和他们的媒体偏好来获取信息。据我们所知,这是对澳大利亚卫生专业学生的第一次调查。更好地了解澳大利亚的卫生专业学生应用社会媒体对教育的影响,研究和专业发展(马瑟,Marlow,卡明斯,2013b)。
方法:
佐丹奴和佐丹奴(2011)开发的一项在线调查被用来调查:
1.health专业学生媒体偏好,
2.student活动对社会媒体网站,和
链接3.student利用作为信息源或学习。
之所以选择佐丹奴和佐丹奴调查工具,是因为它与这项研究特别相关,没有其他调查涉及到一系列社交媒体的使用。在向学生分发调查链接之前,获得了各大学的伦理认可。完成问卷后暗示同意参与。网上调查猴子问卷的一个链接通过电子邮件发送,邀请参加参加十所大学的第一年和最后一年的健康专业学生的研究。每所大学都在他们的网站上进行调查。两个或三个提醒邮件包含调查链接发送到隔周的学生。
2013年7月至2013年11月,第二学期的637名一年级学生和451名最后一年级学生完成了问卷调查。另外两个大学和未参加健康专业课程的学生也完成了在线问卷调查。不参加健康专业课程的学生的反应被排除在分析之外,但来自另外两所大学的学生的反应被纳入分析中。
调查问题包括:
bull;你使用脸谱网还是Twitter?
bull;你是根据你在媒体上听到或读到的广告来做决定的吗?
bull;你有没有点击过脸谱网或Twitter的广告来了解更多的东西,比如教育项目?
bull;下列哪一项(广播、报纸、杂志、期刊、网络媒体、电视)是你主要的信息来源?
最后一年的学生也被问到他们对LinkedIn的使用情况。
结论:
调查对象在澳大利亚的12所大学(雪球效应)入学(表1)。这些大学代表每一个澳大利亚国家,排除北部领土。在接受调查的637名一年级学生中,女性为521人(82%),男性为116(18%)(表2)。平均年龄为27岁,范围为16 - 62岁。在451个最后一年的学生中,有369个(82%)是女性,82(18%)是男性。平均年龄为28岁,范围为19 - 67岁。对两组间性别均无统计学差异,但可以预期,最后一年的学生平均年龄大于第一年的学生的平均年龄(P = 0.023 )。在男性和女性的第一年的学生的平均年龄差异无显著性(表2),然而男性最后一年的学生(平均年龄32岁 = )比女学生最后一年以上整体(平均年龄 = 28年),P = 0.003 。

Introduction;
Growing availability of the Internet and smart devices has enhanced the accessibility and attractiveness of social media (Kellerman, 2010, Redfern et al., 2013). Social media refers to the collection of Internet websites and services that support collaboration, participation and sharing (Junco, Heibergert, amp; Loken, 2011). Social media differ from more traditional forms of broadcast media as they offer opportunities for group interaction, discussion, or co-production, anytime and anywhere (Coiera amp; Tombs, 1998). The forms in which social media are available are extensive including social networking, web publishing, content sharing, and tools for collaboration (Kaplan amp; Haenlein, 2010). Facebook, Twitter, Skypetrade;, YouTubetrade;, Blogs, Instagramtrade; and Flickrtrade;, are commonly used examples of social media platforms (Mangold amp; Faulds, 2009). In 2013, Facebook had over 1.19 billion active monthly users, Twitter had over 218 million active monthly users, and YouTube and Instagram each had 1 billion active monthly users worldwide (Cowling, 2013).
The use of the Internet by higher education students has increased to such an extent that it has been asserted the question is no longer whether students are using the Internet, but how often and in what capacity (Giordano amp; Giordano, 2011). Numerous studies indicate that social media and social networking forms an important part of studentsrsquo; lives (Fox and Jones, 2009, Junco and Mastrodicasa, 2007, Mastrodicasa and Kepic, 2005, Matney and Borland, 2009). A number of studies have identified relationships between the use of technology and student engagement in higher education (Annetta et al., 2009, Chen et al., 2010, King and Robinson, 2009). As a result, educators have begun to investigate different ways of integrating social media techniques into the learning process (Grosseck and Holotescu, 2010, Rankin, 2009, Schroeder et al., 2010). Junco et al. (2011) explored the effect of Twitter on higher education student engagement and grades. They found the incorporation of Twitter into educational programmes improved cooperation and contact among students, promoted active learning, and allowed for prompt feedback by educators.
Social media are already used widely across the health sector (Coiera amp; Tombs, 1998). For example, mHealth has been used to send and receive information about clients (Speciale amp; Freytsis, 2013), applications (apps) have been developed and used for consumers with ongoing health conditions such as adolescents with diabetes (Larkin, 2011), hospitals are using wikis to upload, critique, and edit evidence-based information to better plan patient care (Thielst, 2011b), and school nurses use social media to keep in contact with students who require ongoing treatment (Chilvers, 2011). However, concern about confidentiality and privacy has limited the use of social media among the health professions to some degree and led to the development of social media guidelines by professional bodies including the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency and Australian College of Nursing and Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation (Coiera, 2013, Mansfield et al., 2011). Progressive universities have also developed social media guidelines for use by their students. These guidelines provide direction about the appropriate use of social media by health care professionals and students. It is imperative that students understand the implications of using social media whilst at work and while studying.
There is a paucity of information about the use of social media by health profession students. The study aimed to determine first and final year health profession studentsrsquo; use of social media and their media preferences for sourcing information. As far as we are aware, this is the first survey of the issue with health profession students in Australia. A better understanding of the use of social media by health profession students in Australia has implications for education, research, and professional development (Mather, Marlow, amp; Cummings, 2013b).
