Abstract

Social networking sites and the use of social media have got popularity among health professionals in recent times. This study assessed perceived influence of social media on nursing practice among clinical nurses working in a University Teaching Hospital in Nigeria.

This study adopted a descriptive cross-sectional design, and stratified random sampling was adopted to select 205 respondents. Data were collected with the aid of a structured questionnaire and were analyzed with Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25. Descriptive (frequency table, figures, mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (spearman rho Pearson correlation and Logistics regression) were used to present the data.

Findings showed that the mean age of the respondents was 34.65 ± 8.49 years. Commonly used social media by the respondents were WhatsApp (94.6 %) and Facebook (92.7 %). A little above half (52.2 %) perceived social media benefits as high, 47.4 % perceived risks of social media to nursing practice as high and 63.9 % of the respondents spent at least 4 h on social media daily. Also, majority of the respondents identified knowledge about social media applications; accessibility to information; and availability of evidence-based information on social media. Single respondents were 8 times likely to use social media more than other marital status counterparts (P < 0.05, Odd ratio- 8.62, CI: 70.41 – 1.05), There was significant relationship between perceived benefits & disadvantage of social media and extent of usage {r = 0.740, df = 203p = 0.001}.

This study concluded that nurses are using social media and majority of them are using WhatsApp and Facebook and they also believe that social media help to foster communication among nurses and other health care providers irrespective of the distance.

尼日利亚西南部高等医疗机构护士对社交媒体对护理实践影响的认知
近来,社交网站和社交媒体的使用在医疗专业人员中越来越受欢迎。本研究评估了在尼日利亚一所大学教学医院工作的临床护士感知到的社交媒体对护理实践的影响。本研究采用描述性横断面设计,分层随机抽样选取了 205 名受访者。通过结构化问卷收集数据,并使用 25 版社会科学统计软件包(SPSS)进行分析。结果显示,受访者的平均年龄为 34.65 ± 8.49 岁。受访者常用的社交媒体是 WhatsApp(94.6%)和 Facebook(92.7%)。略高于半数(52.2%)的受访者认为社交媒体的益处很大,47.4%的受访者认为社交媒体对护理实践的风险很大,63.9%的受访者每天在社交媒体上花费至少 4 小时。此外,大多数受访者还了解社交媒体的应用、信息的可获取性以及社交媒体上的循证信息。单身受访者使用社交媒体的可能性是其他婚姻状况受访者的 8 倍(P < 0.05,奇数比- 8.62,CI: 70.41 - 1.05)。本研究得出结论,护士正在使用社交媒体,其中大多数人正在使用 WhatsApp 和 Facebook,他们还认为社交媒体有助于促进护士与其他医疗服务提供者之间的沟通,无论距离多远。

期刊介绍: International Journal of Africa Nursing Sciences (IJANS) is an international scientific journal published by Elsevier. The broad-based journal was founded on two key tenets, i.e. to publish the most exciting research with respect to the subjects of Nursing and Midwifery in Africa, and secondly, to advance the international understanding and development of nursing and midwifery in Africa, both as a profession and as an academic discipline. The fully refereed journal provides a forum for all aspects of nursing and midwifery sciences, especially new trends and advances. The journal call for original research papers, systematic and scholarly review articles, and critical papers which will stimulate debate on research, policy, theory or philosophy of nursing as related to nursing and midwifery in Africa, technical reports, and short communications, and which will meet the journal''s high academic and ethical standards. Manuscripts of nursing practice, education, management, and research are encouraged. The journal values critical scholarly debate on issues that have strategic significance for educators, practitioners, leaders and policy-makers of nursing and midwifery in Africa. The journal publishes the highest quality scholarly contributions reflecting the diversity of nursing, and is also inviting international scholars who are engaged with nursing and midwifery in Africa to contribute to the journal. We will only publish work that demonstrates the use of rigorous methodology as well as by publishing papers that highlight the theoretical underpinnings of nursing and midwifery as it relates to the Africa context.
