Abstract

Purpose: Our objective was to analyse information and sentiments posted regarding the COVID-19 vaccine on fertility-related social media.

Materials and methods: The first fifty accounts on Instagram and Twitter were identified with the terms: fertility doctor, fertility, OBGYN, infertility, TTC, IVF. Accounts were categorised as physician (PH), individual (ID), or fertility center/organisation (FCO). The vaccine was approved on 12/11/2020 and Instagram and Twitter posts dated 12/1/2020 - 2/28/2021 were reviewed. Posts were analysed for sentiment, mention of research studies (RS), national guidelines (NG), personal experience (PE), side effects (SE), reproductive related (RR) content and activity, including likes and comments.

Results: A total of 276 accounts were included. Sentiments towards the vaccine were largely positive (PH 90.3%, ID 71.4%, FCO 70%), or neutral (PH 9.7%, ID 28.6%, FCO 30%). Instagram accounts showed an increase in activity on vaccine posts compared to baseline by likes (PH 4.86% v 3.76%*, ID 7.5% v 6.37%*, FCO 2.49% v 0.52%*) and comments (PH 0.35% v 0.28%, ID 0.90% v 0.69%,* FCO 0.10% v 0.02%*).

Conclusion: Most posts expressed positive sentiments towards the vaccine. Evaluating the sentiment of the COVID-19 vaccine as it relates to fertility on social media represents an opportunity for understanding both the patient's and health care professional's opinion on the subject. Given the potential devastating effects of misinformation on public health parameters, like vaccination, social media offers one avenue for healthcare professionals to engage online and work to make their presences more effective and influential.SHORT CONDENSATIONThis article analyses content and sentiments posted regarding the COVID-19 vaccine on fertility-related social media in order to offer a deeper understanding of available information and beliefs.

让你随时关注:对引入COVID-19疫苗后与生育相关的社交媒体帖子的分析

目的:我们的目的是分析在与生育相关的社交媒体上发布的关于COVID-19疫苗的信息和情绪。材料和方法:Instagram和Twitter上的前50个账户被识别为以下术语:生育医生、生育、OBGYN、不孕、TTC、IVF。帐户被分类为医生(PH)，个人(ID)或生育中心/组织(FCO)。该疫苗于2020年12月11日获得批准，并审查了2020年12月1日至2021年2月28日的Instagram和Twitter帖子。对帖子进行情绪分析，提及研究(RS)，国家指南(NG)，个人经验(PE)，副作用(SE)，生殖相关(RR)内容和活动，包括点赞和评论。结果:共纳入276例病例。对疫苗的看法大部分是积极的(PH为90.3%，ID为71.4%，FCO为70%)或中性的(PH为9.7%，ID为28.6%，FCO为30%)。Instagram账户显示，与基线相比，疫苗帖子的活动增加了，点赞(PH 4.86% v 3.76%*， ID 7.5% v 6.37%*， FCO 2.49% v 0.52%*)和评论(PH 0.35% v 0.28%， ID 0.90% v 0.69%，* FCO 0.10% v 0.02%*)。结论:大多数帖子表达了对疫苗的积极看法。在社交媒体上评估COVID-19疫苗与生育能力有关的情绪，是了解患者和医疗保健专业人员对该主题的看法的机会。鉴于错误信息对公共卫生参数(如疫苗接种)的潜在破坏性影响，社交媒体为医疗保健专业人员提供了一个在线参与的途径，并努力使他们的存在更有效和更有影响力。本文分析了与生育相关的社交媒体上发布的关于COVID-19疫苗的内容和观点，以便对现有信息和观点有更深入的了解。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
