Abstract

Over 80% of Finns use social media, and its use for professional purposes is growing. Research has shown that health care professionals use social media for work- related reasons, mainly for marketing. The purpose of this thesis project was to investigate, using qualitative means, Finnish certified sports physiotherapists' experiences of using social media for professional purposes. The results formed four main themes: social media as a means to gain visibility, social media as a source of information, social media as a source of ethical reflection, and social media as a fast-paced tool that can be stressful. The results of this study reveal a need for guidelines for the responsible use of social media for professional purposes.
