Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays, the power of social media to share information and connect with others is a reality that has also changed the way people communicate about health information. For instance, sometimes, individuals may not automatically accept the advice of health experts, such as psychologists, nutritionists, nurses or doctors among others, and instead look at what their peers are saying about health issues.
The loss of confidence in health professionals could be dangerous with regard to the diffusion of information about community health and possible alterations of procedures and systems designed to maintain and improve it. So, this situation about the Spreading health education through Social Media requires research and the design of new ways to approach social media users, especially, young people. Initiatives where health professionals must be the main actors and drive the communication initiatives focused on community health with the main goal of recovery the people confidence when they in health issues. Health education has an important challenge in front of all healthcare providers in multiple aspects of caring. Patients and people concerns about self-cares must be addressed and every one of us is an agent for change.
This Special Issue aims to present and foster the research developed by health professionals in relation to the promotion of health and healthy lifestyles through adequate communication strategies.
We accept original research papers, research briefs, and reviews.
