RESUMO

Dermatological conditions are one of the most common reasons for clinical visits. Not only can they have a profound effect on patients' cosmetic appearances, but they also have a notable impact on their self-esteem, confidence, and body image, ultimately causing psychological distress. As social networking platforms become the new public space for discussion, patients have transitioned from in-person support groups to seeking online advice, support, and guidance. We conducted queries across various social networking platforms to identify and analyze active social networking support groups for common dermatological conditions. Thirty-six online support groups were identified for the top four dermatological conditions with the highest disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). We analyzed, recorded, and categorized each group according to target dermatological condition, social networking platform, support group host, engagement rate, and content of posts. In the groups identified, the majority were patient-driven (88.89%). When evaluating the engagement activity and frequency, 77.78% (n = 28) of groups had daily posts and 22.22% (n = 8) posted weekly. Additionally, we discovered a notable feature among support groups on Facebook and Reddit being more interactive and collaborative. This underscores the importance of enabling patients with dermatological conditions to generate posts and engage in open discourse, rather than absorbing single-user generated content from other popular platforms. Understanding the current landscape of social networking support groups can aid clinicians in disseminating information and resources for patients to create communities with other patients.
