背景资料：社交网站是一个专门的网站或应用程序，使用户能够相互沟通，分享信息，评论，消息，视频和图像。目的：本综述旨在确定是否“社交网站已成功地用于医学教育，以提供教育材料”，以及是否“医疗保健专业人员和学生，从事社交网站的教育目的”。方法：使用PRISMA（系统性综述和荟萃分析的首选报告项目）指南进行系统性综述。使用预定义的检索词、限制和纳入标准检索了8个数据库。数据提取到一个试点的数据表之前的质量，效用，程度，强度，目标和设置的evidence.Results：1047篇文章的叙述性合成。九篇文章进行了审查，大多数评估学习者的满意度。很少研究更高的结局指标。教育工作者使用Facebook，Twitter，和定制的网站，MedicineAfrica，以实现其目标。结论：社会网络网站已被雇用，没有专业的问题，并收到了积极的反馈，从学习者。然而，在文献中没有确凿的证据表明社交网络与其他可用于教育目的的媒体一样或更有效。
Background: A social-network site is a dedicated website or application which enables users to communicate with each other and share information, comments, messages, videos and images.Aims: This review aimed to ascertain if "social-networking sites have been used successfully in medical education to deliver educational material", and whether "healthcare professionals, and students, are engaging with social-networking sites for educational purposes".Method: A systematic-review was undertaken using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. Eight databases were searched with pre-defined search terms, limits and inclusion criteria. Data was extracted into a piloted data-table prior to the narrative-synthesis of the Quality, Utility, Extent, Strength, Target and Setting of the evidence.Results: 1047 articles were identified. Nine articles were reviewed with the majority assessing learner satisfaction. Higher outcome measures were rarely investigated. Educators used Facebook, Twitter, and a custom-made website, MedicineAfrica to achieve their objectives.Conclusions: Social-networking sites have been employed without problems of professionalism, and received positive feedback from learners. However, there is no solid evidence base within the literature that social-networking is equally or more effective than other media available for educational purposes.
