 A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2022, in which totally 250 staff members of Golestan University of Medical Sciences participated. Proportional random stratified sampling method was used. The data collection tool was a checklist of demographic variables. Additionally, valid and reliable questionnaires on the use of mobile cell phone’s social networks and mental health were exploited. The data was analyzed with the help of descriptive and inferential statistics in SPSS software (v.24) and statistical tests were considered significant at P<0.05. Compliance with ethical considerations was considered in all stages of the study implementation.

 The average age of employees was 41.07±6.8 years and their average work experience was 15.04±6.93 years. About 56.8% of participants were women and the rest were men. WhatsApp was the most commonly used social network by study participants (44.8 percent). The average score of using mobile social network and mental health was 21.81±5.74 and 35.17±6.20 respectively. The use of social networks revealed a statistically significant association with the total score of mental health (P < 0.001).

 The amount of social networks use was reported at a low level and the mental health of employees needs serious interventions. Considering the existence of a relationship between the engagement in social networks and mental health, the controlled use of social networks can prevent employees' mental health from being compromised.

Misinterpretation of the ECG can lead to serious clinical errors. Social networks with sharing features enable creativity and innovation in education. The aim of this study was the compare the effect of social-networking-based teaching and workshop-based teaching on emergency nurse ECG interpretation skills.

This was three groups pre-test and post-test quasi-experimental study with a control group. Three hospitals were randomly divided into three groups: control, workshop, and WhatsApp. Nurses were selected by the available method. Before the intervention, a pre-test was taken from all three groups. The workshop group was taught through the workshop and the based on social networks group was taught through WhatsApp. After the end of the training, a post-test was taken from all three groups and the amount of skill score changes in each group was compared with other groups. Data were analyzed with SPSS-19 software and (P<0.05).

Comparison of the average skill score in all three study groups: control (t=2.71, P=0.011), workshop (t=2.58, P=0.016), and WhatsApp (t= 5.03, P< 0.001) had a significant increase before and after the intervention. The average comparison of skill score changes in the WhatsApp group was significantly higher than the other two groups (P = 0.044). There was a significant difference between the average score of the ECG interpretation skill between the WhatsApp and control groups (P = 0.022) and between the WhatsApp and workshop groups (P = 0.039).

Considering that the score of the ECG interpretation skills of the WhatsApp group nurses was higher. Therefore, social networks can represent the new method of education along with other educational methods and be effective in improving the education process.

Among the critical groups providing services to patients are their family members, relatives, and friends in the breast cancer treatment process. The care provided by family caregivers effectively increases these patients' survival. On the other hand, caregiving burnout also imposes exhausting pressure on caregivers' bodies, minds, and power and negatively impacts their caring role. This study aimed to investigate the effect of patient care education delivered through WhatsApp messenger on the resilience of family caregivers of breast cancer patients in Urmia medical training centers in 2022.

This research was a semi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test design conducted on 60 family caregivers of breast cancer patients in Urmia City. The samples were selected by convenience sampling and randomly assigned to two control and test groups. Data collection tools were demographic information questionnaires and Connor Davidson's resilience questionnaire. Finally, the data was analyzed using SPSS ver.22 statistical software. The significance level was less than 0.05.

There was no significant difference in resilience mean scores between control and intervention groups before the intervention (p>0.05). However, there was a significant difference in resilience mean scores of the two groups after the intervention (p<0.05), with higher resilience mean scores in the intervention group than in the control group.

This study showed that virtual training through social networks such as WhatsApp can increase the resilience of family caregivers of people with cancer. Therefore, considering the importance of educational interventions in improving the health level of patients and their caregivers, the managers of medical centers can improve the health level of caregivers and accelerate the recovery process and the quality of life of patients by adopting strategies and an educational program and training workshops in association with training to strengthen resilience.

Background &

Naturally, societies go through various crises during their historical life. Crises that are sometimes the result of human actions and sometimes occur without human will like natural disasters, but they leave a deep impact on daily life and sometimes even on the history of that border and region. In any case, when society faces these crises, depending on its understanding of them as well as its time conditions, it gives practical answers to that crisis. This answer can be studied and represented in most of the collective and social behaviors of members of the society as well as the government of the men of that society. The media, whether official media or social media are currently the best sources to obtain the conversations that are going on at the official level (such as news agencies) and unofficial (such as social media) in society. When a crisis is perceived by people, they quickly talk about it on social networks, and share their opinions and analysis, and in this way, society reflects its feelings and attitudes on the media platform of social networks. Today, the official media have also strengthened their bases in social networks and publish their messages on the same platform where people communicate with each other. create their personal pages and collective groups, the number of these messages is increasing in a very wide way. Therefore, nowadays it is impossible to study all messages or even a significant percentage of messages by one researcher or even one research team. Therefore, the use of intelligent data mining analytical methods with the help of powerful processing machines has become one of the most important research methods in today's world. Understanding what stages the society has gone through when facing a crisis helps to understand the "dynamic model of society's behavior and discourse" in that crisis. Theoretically, this type of analysis is new in the space of media analysis, and the aspects of which this article deals with the natural crisis of Corona are new and of course very practical. The combined use of artificial intelligence and cognitive science in media analysis has a lot of room for growth and this article can encourage interdisciplinary research and theoretical activities in this field. From a practical point of view, the results of this article will be very useful and practical for all those who are involved in macro policy-making, media people, and also related business owners. The presentation of the results and achievements of this research can lead to the demands of the stakeholders, but during the time of the research and when its achievements were revealed, based on the request of the National Corona Headquarters and relevant decision-making institutions in the country, consultations were given based on the achievements. It was their request. One of the goals of this article is to identify the dynamics of changing feelings and attitudes of social media users in the face of natural crises by using artificial intelligence in the face of the crisis caused by Corona and also to introduce the dynamics of changing feelings and attitudes of the Iranian society in the face of the Corona crisis to use And use in decision-making, policy-making, and social crisis management can be mentioned.

The research method in this article is the meta-synthesis research method, which qualitatively examines and reviews previous studies. The meta-synthesis research method is very similar to the content analysis qualitative research method. In the content analysis research method, the researcher studies, codes, analyzes, and interprets the contents, and in the meta-synthesis research method, the researcher studies, codes, analyzes, and interprets the results of previous research.

After collecting the data from social networks and pre-processing them, a call was made to research these data. Out of a total of 96 projects received, 29 projects were eliminated in the initial evaluation (proposal evaluation) by the jury. Then the complete documents were given to the rest of the teams and they were asked to complete their research plans and send them by the end of the deadline. After the end of the submission deadline in the second stage of evaluation, 42 other teams were eliminated and 25 teams were accepted. All the projects accepted by the jury are considered inputs for this research. 13 of the projects are considered weaker than the others. The jury, by reviewing the research projects, judged among them and introduced the top 5 projects in order. Then three other teams were recognized as worthy of recognition.

After the second round of judging, the research project of 25 teams was accepted by the jury, and among them, the top 5 teams were ranked first to fifth, and the next three teams were evaluated as worthy of recognition and the activity The next 4 teams were evaluated favorably. Considering that from each research project, several interpretive propositions were collected as the result of that research and then it was checked which categories and subcategories each of the propositions are related to, this question was important for the researcher to see how many researchers have been involved in each category?

Internet addiction is one of the problems that has arisen with the advancement of technology, which has negative effects on people's physical and mental health. This study aimed to investigating the effect of using the internet and social networks in students of Kashan University of Medical Sciences.

In this cross-sectional study, 238 students of Kashan University of Medical Sciences were selected by stratified random method in 2019. To collect data, a standard questionnaire prepared by the professors and experts of the mental health center of the Ministry of Health was used. The data was analyzed through SPSS and using chi-square test.

The findings showed that 16.1% of students were addicted to social networks, which was 18.4% and 12.7% among women and men, respectively. Also, it can be mentioned that male students use more online and offline computer games than female students (P<0.05). The rate of use of dormitory students for searching news and surfing the web and downloading movies and music was more than students of living at home (P<0.05), also.

Considering that 16.1% of students devote at least 8 hours of their time daily to use the internet, this can be a reason for their academic failure. Hence, it is necessary to hold educational workshops about the advantages and disadvantages of internet.

Nowadays, social media has gained a crucial role in human life. Creating social branding stands out as one of the main concerns of people with disabilities. The media, especially social media, must assume different responsibilities towards people with disabilities. Informing, educating, and entertaining people with disabilities, as well as informing other sections of society about the low quality of life of people with disabilities, are among the most important missions of any media. Social networks have contributed to the integration of people with disabilities in society. Access to social networks has become easy for the public in recent decades.

Health tourism, also known as medical tourism or medical travel, refers to travel to another country or region to receive medical treatment, procedures or services. The concept of health tourism has gained popularity in recent years due to rising healthcare costs in developed countries, the availability of high-quality medical facilities in developing countries, and the ease of international travel. Health tourism can provide patients access to high quality medical treatments, reduce healthcare costs and improve their quality of life. However, it is important to carefully consider the risks and benefits of health tourism before deciding to travel for medical treatment. Patients should research the treatment facility and provider and ensure appropriate health insurance coverage prior to travel. In the meantime, one of the aspects investigated in the fields of health tourism has been the behavior of consumers of these services, as well as the effects of social networks on this behavior. One of the studied cases is in the field of consumer behavior in relation to social networks, which has been studied in various researches in recent years. In fact, social networks are one of the most used areas in recent years of social networks, which have greatly occupied various markets. In recent years, the amount of use of social networks in Iran has increased so much that the scope of using these networks has led to political debates and influencing the results of elections. In this research, considering the increasing role of social networks, its impact on health tourism has been investigated from the point of view of consumers of medical services in the form of medical tourists.

In terms of research methodology, the current research is applied, survey and correlation research. The statistical population of this research includes all social network users in medical centers providing health tourism services in Tehran. The size of the statistical population was 850 people during the study period, and using the Cochran formula, the sample size was determined to be 256 people. In order to measure the research variables, a questionnaire was used. The validity of this tool has been examined through construct validity, and reliability has been examined and confirmed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. In the analysis method section, first the measurement model was formed and the fit of the model was examined based on the indicators. Finally, based on the structural modeling method, the relationships between the research variables were examined and the results were presented.  Amos software is used in this section.

The results showed that the amount and type of use of social networks had a significant effect on the behavior before, during and after the use of health tourism services.

One of the ways social media can influence health tourism is by giving patients access to information about medical facilities and doctors in other countries. Patients can read reviews, watch videos and connect with others who have undergone similar treatments. This can help them make informed decisions about where to go for treatment and what to expect when they get there.
Another way social media can influence health tourism is by providing a platform for medical professionals to share their expertise and build their reputation. Doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers can use social media to showcase their skills, share educational content, and interact with patients and other professionals in their field. This can help them attract patients from other countries who are looking for quality care. On the other hand, social media can also have negative effects on health tourism. For example, false or misleading information can spread quickly on social media, which can lead to patients making poor decisions about where to seek treatment. In addition, some medical facilities and doctors may use social media to promote themselves in unethical ways, such as exaggerating the benefits of their treatments or making false claims about their qualifications. As a result, social media and health tourism are two distinct concepts that can interact in different ways. While social media can give patients access to valuable information and help medical professionals build their reputation, it can also pose risks for patients seeking accurate and reliable information about treatments and medical facilities in other countries. The relationship between the type and amount of use of social networks and the behavior of health tourists before, during and after the use of medical services was investigated. The results have shown that social networks can have a positive and direct effect on the behavior of consumers of health tourism services.

The use of social networks (USN) is very common among students. Excessive USN can negatively affect their psychosocial performance. Students' health is affected by the amount of use of social networks. Uncontrolled USN affects people's social, academic and professional life. The purpose of this research was to determine the relationship between the USN with failure tolerance and irrational beliefs in female students.

Methods and Materials:

 The present study was a cross-sectional descriptive study. The statistical population of the study is all female students in Azad university of Tehran, Saveh and Tonekabon in year of 2020-2021. 240 female students were selected using the available sampling method. The Irrational beliefs questionnaire, failure tolerance questionnaire, and virtual networks tendency questionnaire were used. Data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and regression analysis using the SPSS version 25.

There was a negative relationship between the USN and failure tolerance (r=0.70, P<0.001). There was a positive relationship between the USN and irrational beliefs (r=0.80, P<0.001). The results of multiple regression showed that the amount of the USN has the ability to predict 33.3% failure tolerance and 53.9% irrational beliefs of female students. The type of the USN can predict 29.4% of failure tolerance and 49.2% of irrational beliefs of female students. Also, the level of trust of users has the ability to predict 24.4% of failure tolerance and 49.9% of irrational beliefs of female students (P<0.05).

Problematic and excessive use of online social networks can endanger students' physical and mental health by increasing irrational beliefs and reducing failure tolerance. Therefore, education and culture building in the field of optimal use of online social networks is necessary during student life.
