To provide a synthesis of psychiatrist experience, online resources, and peer-reviewed literature to document benefits and challenges, and thus derive recommendations on participating in professional psychiatrist online chat forums.
Psychiatrists should carefully consider and curate their participation in online chat forums. Convivial discourse, including shared interests, knowledge, and skills are benefits. However, social media dynamics influence online roles and behaviour. There is a performative aspect to chat forums and social media, through depiction of a participant's persona, which can be understood through social avatar theory. Even on well-moderated chat forums, there remain the risks of subtle forms of negative social media roles and behaviour (e.g. cyberbullying, online abuse, and trolling). Furthermore, there are potential risks to professional identity and reputation from posting material as well as others commenting upon psychiatrists' posts. A single unprofessional post can have a devastating impact on reputation. There are also opportunity costs from the time, attentional and emotional costs of following a forum, which can also lead to harms from anxiety and depression due to excessive social media use. We provide practical recommendations on e-professionalism for more effective participation online.
综合精神科医生的经验、在线资源及同行评审文献，记录参与专业精神科医生在线聊天论坛的益处与挑战，从而得出相关建议。
精神科医生应谨慎考虑并精心安排自己对在线聊天论坛的参与。友好的交流，包括共同的兴趣、知识和技能，都是益处。然而，社交媒体动态会影响在线角色和行为。通过参与者形象的塑造，聊天论坛和社交媒体存在一种表演性的层面，这可通过社会化身理论来理解。即便在管理良好的聊天论坛上，仍存在微妙形式的负面社交媒体角色和行为（如网络欺凌、在线辱骂和恶意挑衅）的风险。此外，发布内容以及他人对精神科医生帖子的评论可能会对专业身份和声誉构成潜在风险。一篇不专业的帖子可能会对声誉造成毁灭性影响。参与论坛还存在时间、注意力和情感成本等机会成本，过度使用社交媒体也可能因焦虑和抑郁而导致伤害。我们提供了关于电子专业素养的实用建议，以更有效地参与在线交流。
