Abstract
As patients, families, and colleagues turn to social media to share their experiences in health care settings, some posts are celebrations and thanks, while others share concerns and disappointments. However, in some cases, social media posts/blogs/emails/patient portal posts are meant to humiliate, shame, blame, and/or harass. This is called cyberbullying which may lead to doxing. Cyberbullying and doxing are becoming more prevalent and affecting health care team members both at work and during their off hours, causing fear, anxiety, depression, and disengagement. In short, cyberbullying and doxing meet the definition of workplace violence.
