Abstract

Background: With the increasing use of social media, social media addiction (SMA) has become a pressing issue and is associated with multiple negative outcomes. Lack of mindfulness has been shown to be associated with an increased risk of SMA, yet such an association has never been explored among nurses in China.

Methods: From December 4, 2022 to March 14, 2023, a cross-sectional study was conducted in 29 hospitals in Hunan Province, China. A total of 1,141 nurses were recruited and completed the online questionnaires. Mindfulness and SMA were assessed by the Mindful Awareness Attention Scale (MAAS) and Social Networking Service Addiction Scale (SNSAS), respectively. Multivariate linear regression analysis was used to explore the association between mindfulness and SMA, and other influencing factors of SMA.

Results: The nurses had an average score of 68.02 ± 11.86 for mindfulness and 46.15 ± 15.09 for SMA. The results of linear regression analysis showed that lower levels of mindfulness (β = -0.06, p < .001), shorter working years (β = -0.21, p = .014), and experiencing more frequent workplace violence (β = 0.21, p =.007) were associated with an increased risk of SMA.

Conclusions/application to practice: Our study shows a generally moderate level of SMA among nurses in Hunan Province, which was influenced by mindfulness, working years, and workplace violence. Mindfulness-based interventions may be effective interventions to alleviate nurses' SMA. Special attention should also be paid to nurses with shorter working years and those who experienced workplace violence.

护士正念与社交媒体成瘾之间的关系：一项横断面研究。

背景：随着社交媒体使用的增加，社交媒体成瘾（SMA）已成为一个紧迫的问题，并与多种负面结果相关。缺乏正念已被证明与SMA风险增加有关，但这种关联从未在中国的护士中进行过探索。方法：于2022年12月4日至2023年3月14日在湖南省29家医院进行横断面研究。共招募了1141名护士并完成了在线问卷调查。正念和SMA分别采用正念意识注意量表（MAAS）和社交网络服务成瘾量表（SNSAS）进行评估。采用多元线性回归分析探讨正念与SMA的关系，以及SMA的其他影响因素。结果：护士正念平均分为68.02±11.86分，SMA平均分为46.15±15.09分。线性回归分析结果显示，较低的正念水平（β = -0.06, p < .001）、较短的工作年限（β = -0.21, p =. 014）和更频繁的工作场所暴力（β = 0.21, p =.007）与SMA的风险增加相关。结论/应用于实践：我们的研究表明，湖南省护士的SMA总体上处于中等水平，受正念、工作年限和工作场所暴力的影响。基于正念的干预可能是缓解护士SMA的有效干预措施。还应特别注意工作年限较短的护士和经历过工作场所暴力的护士。
