Abstract
Background: Cyberincivility, encompassing disruptive and aggressive behaviors online, adversely impacts learning environments, academic integrity, and the well-being of students and educators.
Purpose: This study examined cybercivility research in health professions education to identify trends and key studies.
Methods: A bibliometric study was conducted using the Web of Science database to retrieve peer-reviewed articles on cybercivility in health professions education published between 2004 and 2024.
Results: A total of 193 publications were identified, with significant growth from 2021 to 2024. The USA led in research output. Key themes included social media use, digital professionalism, and ethics. Interdisciplinary collaborations were primarily concentrated in North America, Europe, and Asia, while Africa and Latin America remained underrepresented.
Conclusions: Cybercivility is essential for fostering ethical digital interactions in health professions. However, notable research gaps persist in allied health fields and underrepresented regions. Future research should examine the influence of emerging technologies on digital professionalism.
背景:网络不文明,包括破坏性和攻击性的网络行为,对学习环境、学术诚信以及学生和教育者的福祉产生不利影响。目的:本研究检视卫生专业教育中的网路文明研究,找出趋势与重点研究。方法:使用Web of Science数据库进行文献计量学研究,检索2004 - 2024年间发表的关于卫生专业教育中的网络文明的同行评议文章。结果:共确定了193篇出版物,从2021年到2024年显著增长。美国在研究产出方面处于领先地位。关键主题包括社交媒体的使用、数字专业和道德。跨学科合作主要集中在北美、欧洲和亚洲,而非洲和拉丁美洲的代表性仍然不足。结论:网络文明对于促进卫生专业人员的道德数字互动至关重要。然而,在联合卫生领域和代表性不足的地区,仍存在显著的研究差距。未来的研究应该考察新兴技术对数字专业主义的影响。
