Abstract
Objectives
The study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Polish version of the Perceived Social Media Literacy Scale and assess its relevance in assessing the digital literacy of nursing students in Poland.
Methods
The researchers conducted a cross-sectional study across 11 nursing faculties and 676 nursing students between March and April 2021. The scale was translated, culturally adapted, and evaluated for internal consistency, reliability, and validity
Results
The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the total scale was 0.935, indicating high internal consistency. The individual domains had alpha values of 0.941 for "Technical Competency", 0.887 for "Informational Awareness", and 0.812 for "Privacy and Algorithmic Awareness". Confirmatory Factor Analysis supported the 3-factor structure identified in the Exploratory Factor Analysis
Conclusion
The study found that the Polish Short Version of the Perceived Social Media Literacy Scale was highly applicable in nursing education settings and undergraduate programs specifically designed for nursing students.
