Resumo(s)
Redes sociais são websites na internet que permitem a comunicação e interação social através da construção de um perfil público ou semipúblico, com informação sobre o utilizador que pode ser acedida por outros utilizadores. Atualmente, a utilização de internet, nomeadamente de redes sociais, é uma das atividades preferidas dos jovens. Vários estudos revelam que o tempo despendido nesta atividade continua a aumentar e que os jovens acedem com muita frequência a estes websites através dos seus computadores e telemóveis. A realidade online constitui um meio relativamente seguro para o desenvolvimento de tarefas psicosociais e competências interpessoais importantes na adolescência – construção da identidade, auto-estima, pertença a um grupo e autonomia das figuras parentais. Nos últimos anos têm sido realizados muitos estudos no sentido de compreender as consequências emocionais e sociais do uso das redes sociais pelos adolescentes e jovens adultos. Alguns dão especial relevo aos benefícios e potencialidades do uso destes websites, enquanto outros focam essencialmente os riscos e consequências negativas no desenvolvimento decorrentes da sua utilização. Os objetivos desta revisão sistemática foram: identificar a investigação realizada sobre o uso das redes sociais na adolescência ao longo dos últimos anos; avaliar as suas consequências ao nível do desenvolvimento cognitivo, social e emocional; analisar as potencialidades e riscos do uso das redes sociais em saúde; perceber de que forma os educadores e os profissionais de saúde podem atuar no sentido de prevenir comportamentos de risco.
