Abstract
Introduction: Social media has become an important element of interaction and found itself a place in every aspect of our lives. This study examined the twitter activities of emergency medicine physicians and residents (EMP??R) about the COVID-19 outbreak. Methods: The study concentrated on Twitter, a major social media network. To identify accounts owned by EMP??R, followers of the official accounts of two emergency medicine physician associations in our country were reviewed. Results: In total, 251 accounts whose owners stated they were EMP??R in their biographies, were public, and had tweeted within the last year were identified. Among the 210 tweets posted about coronavirus, 42.4% contained comments and suggestions, 18.6% institutional announcements, 17.1% news, 14.8% scientific content, and 7.1% contained humor. Conclusion: This study examined the importance of Twitter posts during outbreaks and the attitudes of emergency medicine doctors on this issue. Based on the results, it is thought that EMP??R should share more.
