摘要

目的:2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行后,通过社交媒体分享医疗保健相关信息的情况有所增加。牙科诊所主要使用社交媒体来搜索、分享和交流与健康相关的信息。考虑到使用社交媒体的趋势日益增加,本研究的主要目的是确定巴林牙医和外行人使用社交媒体发布和查看牙科相关内容的情况。方法:以问卷为基础的横断面研究包括成人参与者和牙医。采用预先测试的有效问卷。相关性的卡方检验用于评估分类结果之间的相关性。p值≤0.05认为有统计学意义。结果:共纳入249名成人参与者和53名牙医。绝大多数(83.5%)的受访者表示他们经常使用社交媒体查看牙科相关内容,69.8%的牙医认为使用社交媒体的患者有更好的口腔健康意识。使用社交媒体的时间越长,尤其与观看牙科相关内容(p = 0.008)和直接通过社交媒体联系牙医咨询(p = 0.055)有显著关联。结论:巴林非常高比例的年轻人正在使用各种社交媒体讨论牙科。应明智地管理这种参与,以促进与牙科有关的信息共享,从而提高对整体牙齿健康的认识。确实需要在每个国家执行某些标准作业程序,以防止滥用这种技术进步。

Use of Social Media to View and Post Dentistry-related Information in Bahrain: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Objectives: Healthcare-related information sharing via social media is on the rise following the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Dental practices primarily use social media to search, share, and communicate health-related information. Considering the increasing trend of using social media, the primary aim of the present study was to identify the use of social media by dentists and laypeople to post and view dentistry-related content in Bahrain.

Methods: This questionnaire-based cross-sectional study included adult participants and dentists. A pretested validated questionnaire was administered. The chi-square test for association was used to assess the association between categorical outcomes. A p-value of ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results: In total, 249 adult participants and 53 dentists were included. A substantial majority (83.5%) of the participants reported that they always used social media to view dentistry-related content, and 69.8% of the dentists felt that patients who use social media have better oral health awareness. A longer duration of social media usage showed significant associations with particularly viewing dentistry-related content (p = 0.008) and contacting dentists directly through social media for consultation (p = 0.055).

Conclusions: An extremely high percentage of the younger population in Bahrain is using various social media to discuss dentistry. This engagement should be wisely managed to promote dentistry-related information sharing, which can lead to increased awareness related to overall dental health. There is a definite need to enforce certain standard operating procedures in every country that will prevent the misuse of this technological advancement.
