Social networking is popular online activity; however, like many activities on the internet, there are some privacy risks and concerns associated with its use. Recently, an increasing number of nurses have been censured or asked to appear before regulatory or registering authorities for unprofessional behaviour on social media sites. Problem behaviours identified include: inappropriate content and postings, crossing professional boundaries and breaching patient privacy and confidentiality. This discussion paper aims to give the nursing profession an understanding of how their online behaviour can impact on their professionalism, and how they can avoid problematic situations when using social media (Facebook). This exploratory discussion paper will inform a study researching nurses' online behaviour. Social media is here to stay and nurses need to navigate the complexities of the boundaries between the personal and the professional. Nurses need to learn to balance the growing usefulness of social media, with the legalities and etiquette of the online environment.
社交网络是一种流行的在线活动；然而，与互联网上的许多活动一样，使用社交网络也存在一些隐私风险和问题。最近，越来越多的护士因在社交媒体网站上的不专业行为而受到谴责，或被要求在监管或注册机构面前露面。已确定的问题行为包括：不适当的内容和帖子、跨越职业界限以及侵犯患者隐私和保密权。本讨论文件旨在让护理行业了解其在线行为如何影响其专业性，以及他们在使用社交媒体（脸书）时如何避免出现问题情况。这份探索性讨论文件将为一项研究护士在线行为的研究提供信息。社交媒体已成为常态，护士需要应对个人与职业之间界限的复杂性。护士需要学会在社交媒体日益增长的实用性与在线环境的法律规定和礼仪之间取得平衡。
