Exploring experiences of orthognathic surgery: A Reddit-based content analysis

Reddit appears to act as an emotional support system and educational resource for orthognathic surgery patients, facilitating visual and narrative-driven knowledge exchange. The findings highlight gaps in traditional patient education, suggesting that integrating social media insights into clinical discussions may enhance informed consent and patient preparedness. Healthcare providers may benefit from digital engagement strategies to bridge communication gaps.

Abstract

Reddit appears to act as an emotional support system and educational resource for orthognathic surgery patients, facilitating visual and narrative-driven knowledge exchange. The findings highlight gaps in traditional patient education, suggesting that integrating social media insights into clinical discussions may enhance informed consent and patient preparedness. Healthcare providers may benefit from digital engagement strategies to bridge communication gaps.
