In this context, the authors have developed the Medical Education e-Professionalism (MEeP) framework to navigate the desired competencies of healthcare professionals in the digital world. This mission-based framework has three constructs of professional values, behaviours and identity, each with several relevant competencies. To determine the content validity of the MEeP framework, we adopted a systematic approach using the content validity index (CVI) by engaging six subject experts in the field. During an online meeting, a brief overview of MEeP was provided, and experts interacting in a real-time manner provided numerical ratings and free-text comments for each competency of all three constructs. The CVI scores ranged between 0.83 and 1.0, indicating acceptable content validity of all 12 items of the three MEeP constructs. Nine out of 12 items (conformity, benevolence, universalism and integrity [val...

Published data suggests that moral dilemmas faced during these unprecedented times have placed physicians at the intersections of ethical and unethical considerations. This phenomenon has questioned the physicians' morality and how that has affected their conduct. Our review taps into the spectrum of the transforming optics of patient care during the pandemic and its impact on psychological wellbeing.Methods We adopted the Arksey and O’Malley’s framework, defining research questions, identifying relevant studies, selecting the studies using agreed inclusion and exclusion criteria, charting the data, and summarizing and reporting results. Databases of PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, Science Direct, CINAHL, and PsycInfo were searched using a predefined search string. The retrieved titles and abstracts were reviewed.

There are also growing concerns about unprofessional behaviors and blurring of professional identities that are undermining digital professionalism. This review tapped the literature to determine the impact of social media on medical professionalism and how can professional identities and values be maintained in digital era. Methods We searched the databases of PubMed, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and EBSCO host using (professionalism AND (professionalism OR (professional identity) OR (professional behaviors) OR (professional values) OR (professional ethics))) AND ((social media) AND ((social media) OR (social networking sites) OR Twitter OR facebook)) AND (health professionals).

Literature shows divergent views about the factors that make plagiarism reprehensible. This review explores the causes and remedies for the perennial academic problem of plagiarism. Data sources were searched for full text English language articles published from 2000 to 2015. Data selection was done using medical subject headline (MeSH) terms plagiarism, unethical writing, academic theft, retraction, medical field, and plagiarism detection software. Data extraction was undertaken by selecting titles from retrieved references and data synthesis identified key factors leading to plagiarism such as unawareness of research ethics, poor writing skills and pressure or publish mantra. Plagiarism can be managed by a balance among its prevention, detection by plagiarism detection software, and institutional sanctions against proven plagiarists. Educating researchers about ethical principles of academic wr...

Medical Education Online, 2021

However, today’s medicine has embodied a mammoth transformation of medical practice towards sns and the digital realm. Such paradigm shift has challenged the medical professional’s values, behaviors, and identities, and the distinct boundaries between personal and professional lives are blurred. This study aims to develop a framework for healthcare professionals coping with the challenges of medical professionalism in the digital realm. Methods We followed a systematic approach for the development of a framework about e-professionalism. Qualitative data was collected from a systematic review and a delphi study, while quantitative data was collected by administering a validated questionnaire social networking sites for medical education (snsme). Subsequently, categorization of the selected data and identifying concepts, deconstruction and further categorizing concepts (philosophical triangulation), integration of concepts (theoretical triangulation), and synthesis and resynthesis of concepts were performed. Results The initial process yielded six overlapping concepts from personal, professional, character (implicit) and characteristic (explicit) domains: environment, behavior, competence, virtues, identity, and mission. Further integration of data was done for the development of the medical education e-professionalism (meep) framework with a central concept of a commitment to mission. The mission showed deep connections with values (conformity, beneficence, universalism, and integrity), behaviours (communication, self-awareness, tolerance, power), and identity (reflection, conscientiousness, self-directed, self-actualization). The data demonstrated that all medical professionals require updated expertise in sns participation. Conclusion The meep framework recognises a mission-based social contract by the medical community. This mission is largely driven by professional values, behaviors and identity. Adherence to digital standards, accountability, empathy, sensitivity, and commitment to society are essential elements of the meep framework.

Promoting empathy and compassion of medical students is a forerunner of their wellbeing, emotional stability, and a patient-centred care. However, there is slender evidence about best educational interventions that can inculcate empathy and compassion skills. Our objective was to conduct a systematic review of research evaluating the associations between spectrum, effectiveness, frequency of teaching modalities and their outcomes on compassion and empathy to highlight best practices. MethodsWe searched the Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and EBSCO Host. Selected studies were required to have used unique educational interventions for promoting empathy and compassion of medical students.ResultsWe analysed 24 articles from the initial yield of 2,861. Twenty-two were quantitative studies with a mean of 12.8 on MERSQI. Twelve were randomized controlled trials while 5 measured outcomes with single grou...

Additionally, there is limited data about SNSs use by students from different faculties. OBJECTIVE This study compared patterns of SNSs use among medical and non-medical university students. METHODS It is a single-stage cross-sectional study conducted at university students (n=2350) from Saudi Arabia and China. A 21-statement questionnaire was administered to medical students of Taibah and Imam Abdulrahman AlFaisal University, Saudi Arabia, and non-medical students of the Beijing Institute of Technology and the University of International Business and Economics, China. The data about nature of SNSs use and strategies for sharing knowledge were analyzed. RESULTS Comparative data regarding use of SNSs between medical and non-medical students were obtained. Of 2350 respondents; 92% students did and 8% did not use SNSs for any reason. Overall, 624 (26.6%) stud...

However, little is known about the use of SNSs for educational purposes. This study aims to determine educational use of SNSs by the medical students of two Saudi and a Kuwaiti medical school. A cross-sectional study was conducted by administering a 20-statement questionnaire to the undergraduate medical and allied health sciences students of two Saudi universities: Taibah University (TU) and Imam Abdulrahman AlFaisal University (IAFU), and one Kuwaiti university, Kuwait University (KU). The data were collected and analyzed by SPSS 20. Of a total of 1312 respondents, 1181 (90%) students used SNSs and 131 (10%) did not use SNSs for any reason. Further, only 442/1181 (37%, p < 0.00) students used SNSs for education and found these sites to be useful. As many as 357 (27%) students used SNSs for sharing education-related information once a day, 306 (23%) 3-5 times a day, an...
