Critical interpretive synthesis reveals gaps in ethical and social issues of social media in physiotherapy, suggesting future research directions.
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to critically review existing literature and develop a theory to understand the ethical and social issues related to social media uses by physiotherapists. METHODS: The review will follow the Critical Interpretive Synthesis method by Dixon-Woods. Databases like Medline, Embase, CINHAL, and Web of Science will be searched for studies published in English and French from 2000 to 2023. Two reviewers will select studies, with one extracting and analyzing data. Ethical and social issues will be critically appraised, and new concepts will be synthesized. DISCUSSION: This review critically examines ethical and social issues in the use of Web 2.0 in physiotherapy, highlighting gaps in literature and guiding future research. Despite some methodological limitations, it offers a nuanced, context-sensitive synthesis. The findings aim to support ethical reflection in physiotherapy and related fields.
