Objectives: We aim to engage in a constructive dialogue about the phenomenon of myths in social media, analyzing the underlying reasons and potential impact on our activities.
We will also identify and explore the top three prevalent myths in social media and how they can affect our patients.
Ultimately, we seek to develop an actionable plan that can help mitigate the impact of myths on our patients and promote a more informed and evidence-based approach to healthcare.
Introduction: A strong, consistent, and constant Social Media presence, with a clear message adapted to the various types of platforms and audiences, is an essential and fundamental component in the success of medical and aesthetic activities.
In addition to promoting research-based activities, there is a lot of content that makes unrealistic claims, or worse, false claims that create unrealistic expectations from our patients.
Materials / method: Many factors are involved in the development and proliferation of myths about Social Media and myths spread by Social Media.
Certain people and sources deliberately produce or distribute sensational or untrue information to gain clicks, likes, shares, and interaction. Content that is controversial or shocking typically garners more interest.
Myths are often associated with factors such as lack of regulation and critical thinking, anonymity and impersonation, incomplete information and echo chambers, and amplification.
Results: The most notable misconception is that "Social Media is free." While it's true that setting up social media accounts is free, creating high-quality content, running advertisements, and maintaining a consistent online presence requires a significant amount of time and resources.
Another essential myth is that "Being on Every Platform is a Must." Concentrating on the most important platforms for your target audience and objectives is better. We can only be present in some places, and it's essential to be on the platform where our target audience is located!
Conclusion: The most dangerous myth is that having more followers automatically leads to success. The size of your following does not solely determine success on social media.
It's crucial to consider factors such as engagement quality, the relevance of your content, and the impact you make on your intended audience.
Assessing success on social media involves a more intricate and detailed process beyond counting followers, likes, comments, shares, and saves.
