Social media is a modern innovation for effective communication. Researchers are investigating a useful framework to integrate social media in an educational setting of deaf and blind students. Deaf or hearing impaired and visually impaired people have poor communication skills that cause lowered social interactions and make them feel isolated. The current study aimed at evaluating the social media usage pattern among the deaf or hard of hearing and visually impaired students. The findings revealed that the majority of the students used Whatsapp for communication purposes. Furthermore, the use of social media bolstered communication among the deaf or hearing impaired and visually impaired students with ordinary people. The study revealed that the primary motivation behind social media usage was social interaction. The social media usage pattern was found to be statistically significant with the motivation behind usage. The social media usage pattern was also statistically significant with the experienced benefits of increased communication. Moreover, the study also revealed that students had learned something from social media usage. These associations were found to be statistically significant at P≤0.05.


Nowadays, healthcare organizations such as clinics and hospitals have increasingly embarked on Social Media strategies, which involve establishing an organizational presence on the major social media platforms. SM is accepted as a means to evoke patients’ knowledge on their health concerns which in turn trigger initiatives to search for healthcare products. This study is an exploration on the usage pattern of Social Media platforms for Healthcare Services by the patients or bystanders of at a tertiary level corporate health and wellness centre in Abudabi. Youth are actively searching for heath contents in social media and the information influence the significant aspects of consumer behavior. Search is more on specialty and medical terms so the content develops need to pay attention to these key aspects. Rather than health, the aspects related to wellness are getting more attention on social media plat forms. Conscious attempts while developing the content, encouraging review writing and commenting by professionals and consumers can be used to overcome the barriers regarding authenticity and quality of information.
