Abstract

Background: The symptoms of interpersonal sensitivity and loneliness are prevalent among college nursing students. This study aims to investigate the interactions at the symptom level and elucidate the characteristics of the interpersonal sensitivity and loneliness symptoms network among Chinese college nursing students.

Method: A cohort of 864 college nursing students participated in the study. Interpersonal sensitivity was assessed using the Chinese Version of the Short Form of the Interpersonal Sensitivity Measure (IPSM-CS), while loneliness symptoms were evaluated using the three-item Loneliness Scale (T-ILS). Central symptoms and bridge symptoms were determined using centrality and bridge centrality indices, respectively. The stability of the network was evaluated through the case-dropping procedure.

Results: The most robust direct relationship was observed between the interpersonal sensitivity symptoms 'Feel happy when someone compliments' (IPSM-CS9) and 'Make others happy' (IPSM-CS10). 'Feel happy when someone compliments' (IPSM-CS9) exhibited the highest node strength in the interpersonal sensitivity and loneliness network, with 'They would not like me' (IPSM-CS2) following closely behind. Among the loneliness symptoms, 'Relational loneliness' (T-ILS1) demonstrated the highest bridge strength, followed by 'Intimate loneliness' (T-ILS3) and 'Social loneliness' (T-ILS2). The entire network displayed robustness in both stability and accuracy assessments.

Conclusion: This study emphasized the importance of central symptoms (e.g., 'Feel happy when someone compliments' and 'They would not like me') and bridge symptoms (e.g., 'Relational loneliness', 'Intimate loneliness', and 'Social loneliness'). Intervening in the central symptoms may effectively enhance the self-confidence of nursing students and foster harmonious relationships with others, thereby facilitating better adaptation to interpersonal relationships. Furthermore, by addressing bridge symptoms (e.g., meeting the need for approval and providing social support), nursing students can better adjust to their studies and practice with a more positive attitude during their college years.

基于网络的护生人际敏感性与孤独感的关系
背景:人际敏感和孤独感在护生中普遍存在。本研究旨在探讨症状层面的相互作用,阐明中国护生人际敏感性和孤独感症状网络的特征。方法:对864名护理系大学生进行队列研究。人际敏感性采用中文版人际敏感性简表(IPSM-CS)评估,孤独感症状采用三项孤独感量表(T-ILS)评估。中心症状和桥状症状分别采用中心性和桥状中心性指数确定。通过丢案法对网络的稳定性进行了评价。结果:人际敏感症状“当别人赞美时感到快乐”(IPSM-CS9)与“使别人快乐”(IPSM-CS10)之间的直接关系最为显著。在人际敏感性和孤独感网络中,“当有人赞美时感到高兴”(IPSM-CS9)的节点强度最高,“他们不会喜欢我”(IPSM-CS2)紧随其后。在孤独症状中,“关系孤独”(T-ILS1)表现出最高的桥梁强度,其次是“亲密孤独”(T-ILS3)和“社交孤独”(T-ILS2)。整个网络在稳定性和准确性评估中都表现出鲁棒性。结论:本研究强调了中心症状(例如,“当别人称赞我时感到高兴”和“他们不会喜欢我”)和桥梁症状(例如,“关系孤独”、“亲密孤独”和“社会孤独”)的重要性。干预中心症状可以有效增强护生的自信心,促进与他人的和谐关系,从而更好地适应人际关系。此外,通过解决桥梁症状(如满足认可需求和提供社会支持),护生可以在大学期间以更积极的态度更好地适应学习和实践。
