SCCM Resource Library-Social Media Use to Foster Resilience in Critical Care

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses the impact of social media on mental health and wellness. It explores both the positive and negative effects of social media use. Active social media use, such as engaging, posting, and replying, is associated with higher well-being, while passive use, such as scrolling and consuming information without contributing, is linked to lower well-being and social comparisons. Patients with mental illness report positive benefits from social media, such as greater social connectedness and the ability to share personal stories. However, social media use can also lead to negative impacts, including feelings of inadequacy, negative interactions, fake news, and increased loneliness. Strategies for a healthier relationship with social media are offered, such as setting time limitations, minimizing social comparisons, curating content, seeking offline interactions, and being intentional with social media use. The speaker also shares personal experiences with social media and highlights its positive effects on mental health, such as engagement with shared interests and social support.
