Abstract

Background: The overutilization of mobile devices by nursing students has been found to adversely affect their physical and cognitive health, potentially impeding the cultivation of a proficient nursing workforce. Previous research has identified social anxiety and loneliness as influential contributors to mobile phone addiction, but the relationship between these three factors has not been extensively examined. The objective of this research was to investigate the role of loneliness in mediating the relationship between social anxiety and mobile phone addiction, as well as the moderating influence of sleep duration on the relationship between social anxiety, loneliness, and mobile phone addiction among nursing students.

Methods: We enrolled 437 students from the Be Resilient to Nursing Career program (BRNC) between October and December 2023. Surveys were employed to evaluate the levels of social anxiety, loneliness, and mobile phone addiction among nursing students. Three types of analyses were performed: latent profile analysis, mediation analysis, and moderation analysis.

Results: The following three profiles of social anxiety were identified: low social anxiety (23.8%), middle social anxiety (42.8%), and high social anxiety (33.4%). The significant mediating effect of loneliness in the relationship between social anxiety based on latent profile analysis and mobile phone addiction was observed (SE = 0.709, 95%CI = 1.821, 4.618; SE = 0.561, 95%CI = 1.161, 3.345, respectively). The moderating role of sleep duration between social anxiety, loneliness, and mobile phone addiction was not significant (P > 0.05).

Conclusion: Heterogeneity exists in social anxiety among nursing students. Loneliness serves as a significant mediating factor between social anxiety and mobile phone addiction. The moderating influence of sleep duration should be validated in future research.

护生社交焦虑、孤独感与手机成瘾:潜在特征与调节中介分析。
背景:研究发现护生过度使用移动设备会对他们的身体和认知健康产生不利影响,可能会阻碍培养一支熟练的护理队伍。之前的研究已经确定社交焦虑和孤独是导致手机成瘾的重要因素,但这三个因素之间的关系尚未得到广泛研究。本研究旨在探讨孤独感在护生社交焦虑、孤独感和手机成瘾之间的中介作用,以及睡眠时间在护生社交焦虑、孤独感和手机成瘾之间的调节作用。方法:我们于2023年10月至12月招募了437名来自Be Resilient to Nursing Career program (BRNC)的学生。采用问卷调查的方法对护生的社交焦虑、孤独感和手机成瘾水平进行评估。进行了三种类型的分析:潜在分析、中介分析和调节分析。结果:社交焦虑分为低社交焦虑(23.8%)、中社交焦虑(42.8%)和高社交焦虑(33.4%)三种类型。孤独感在社交焦虑与手机成瘾关系中的中介作用显著(SE = 0.709, 95%CI = 1.821, 4.618;SE = 0.561, 95%CI = 1.161, 3.345)。睡眠时间对社交焦虑、孤独感和手机成瘾的调节作用不显著(P < 0.05)。结论:护生社交焦虑存在异质性。孤独感在社交焦虑与手机成瘾之间起显著中介作用。睡眠时间的调节作用应在未来的研究中得到验证。
