AI Article Synopsis

  • The Internet has changed how mental health clinicians present themselves publicly, impacting their approaches to self-disclosure and professional boundaries.
  • Clinicians face challenges with information about them being online—both good and bad, which can be correct or incorrect, and may be accessed by anyone.
  • The forum provides recommendations for clinicians on how to effectively manage their online presence while maintaining effective therapeutic relationships with patients and the community.

Article Abstract

The Internet has fundamentally altered mental health clinicians' "public selves," challenging previous models of self-disclosure and maintenance of boundaries within treatment. The conception of a public self altered by the digital age presents both opportunities and pitfalls in clinical practice. Information about clinicians available online may be professional or personal; accurate or inaccurate; and publicly accessible, purchased, or hacked. Clinicians must consider how to manage their public selves in work with patients and the community. This Open Forum outlines a set of recommendations for managing the public self in the digital age as a routine part of therapeutic work.

Nursing activity recognition has immense importance in the development of smart healthcare management and is an extremely challenging area of research in human activity recognition. The main reasons are an extreme class-imbalance problem and intra-class variability depending on both the subject and the recipient. In this paper, we apply a unique two-step feature extraction, coupled with an intermediate feature 'Angle' and a new feature called mean min max sum to render the features robust against intra-class variation.
