Abstract

Background/Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between social media networking addiction (SMNA) and work engagement (WE) among nurses at a government hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, as well as to assess the overall levels of SMNA and WE within this population. Methods: A quantitative, correlational, cross-sectional design was employed with an online survey instrument, involving 283 nurses from the government hospital. The data were analyzed using SPSS software version 26. Results: Nurses exhibited low levels of SMNA and average levels of WE. A negative relationship was identified between SMNA and WE. Conclusions: The findings indicate that SMNA influences various dimensions of WE differently. A significant negative relationship was observed between SMNA and the dimensions of vigor, absorption, and overall WE. However, SMNA did not significantly impact the dedication dimension, which emerged as the highest-scoring aspect among nursing professionals. Therefore, this study recommends raising awareness among nurses regarding the detrimental impact that excessive social media usage can have on their professional responsibilities and mental health, the implementation of clear social media usage guidelines, regular assessment of the trends in social media usage among nurses and the introduction of educational programs to raise awareness and promote responsible usage.

点击与护理之间:调查沙特阿拉伯护士的社交媒体成瘾和工作投入。
背景/目的:本研究旨在调查沙特阿拉伯吉达一家政府医院护士的社交媒体网络成瘾(SMNA)与工作投入(WE)之间的关系,并评估该人群中社交媒体网络成瘾和工作投入的总体水平。方法:采用定量、相关、横断面的在线调查方法,对283名公立医院护士进行调查。采用SPSS软件26版对数据进行分析。结果:护士SMNA水平低,WE水平中等。SMNA与WE呈负相关。结论:SMNA对WE各维度的影响是不同的。SMNA与活力、吸收、总WE呈显著负相关。然而,SMNA并没有显著影响奉献维度,这是护理专业人员中得分最高的方面。因此,本研究建议提高护士对过度使用社交媒体对其职业责任和心理健康的有害影响的认识,实施明确的社交媒体使用指南,定期评估护士使用社交媒体的趋势,并引入教育计划来提高认识并促进负责任的使用。
