Abstract
Abstract: TikTok, a widely popular video-sharing platform, is increasingly being recognized as a valuable educational tool in nursing and health education. This platform supports delivery of engaging, concise and visually rich content, through a microlearning pedagogy, which can enhance learning and retention of health-related concepts in small, manageable units. This format caters to the preferences of digital-native learners, making it an enticing educational medium, especially for teaching adolescents and young adults. However, the brevity of the content may lead to superficial understanding of complex topics. Despite its popularity, TikTok faces criticism and regulatory challenges, including concerns over misinformation and data privacy. This study explores the advantages and disadvantages of using TikTok in nursing and health education, including examples of successful implementation. The authors advocate for the responsible use of TikTok-style videos, distributed through other social media platforms, to maximize the educational benefits, while navigating the challenges posed by the platform's current regulatory landscape.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (JAANP) is a monthly peer-reviewed professional journal that serves as the official publication of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners.
Published since 1989, the JAANP provides a strong clinical focus with articles related to primary, secondary, and tertiary care, nurse practitioner education, health policy, ethics and ethical issues, and health care delivery. The journal publishes original research, integrative/comprehensive reviews, case studies, a variety of topics in clinical practice, and theory-based articles related to patient and professional education. Although the majority of nurse practitioners function in primary care, there is an increasing focus on the provision of care across all types of systems from acute to long-term care settings.
