#TraumaTok-TikTok Videos Relating to Trauma: Content Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Experiencing a traumatic event can significantly impact mental and emotional well-being. Social media platforms offer spaces for sharing stories, seeking support, and accessing psychoeducation. TikTok (ByteDance), a rapidly growing social media platform, is increasingly used for advice, validation, and information, although the content of this requires further study. Research is particularly needed to better understand TikTok content relating to trauma and the potential implications for young viewers, considering the distressing nature of the subject and the possibility of users experiencing vicarious trauma through exposure to these videos.

Objective

This study aims to explore the content of trauma-related videos on TikTok, focusing on hashtags related to trauma.
