Abstract

Aim

This study aimed to examine the relationships between nursing students' levels of compassionate love, self-liking/self-competence, phubbing, and being phubbed.

Methods

This study was conducted as a cross-sectional correlational study with 188 nursing students.

Results

Phubbing and being phubbed were moderately and positively correlated (r = .41, p < .001). Both phubbing and being phubbed showed weak negative correlations with self-liking (r = −.21, p = .004 and r = −.20, p = .006, respectively), whereas self-competence was not significantly associated with either variable. Compassionate love was positively associated only with self-competence (r = .23, p = .001). Students using smartphones for ≥5 hours daily reported significantly higher phubbing scores (p = .002). Moderation analysis revealed that compassionate love attenuated the negative association between phubbing and self-liking (β = .77, p = .043).

Conclusion

Higher levels of phubbing were associated with lower self-liking among nursing students, whereas compassionate love appeared to buffer this adverse relationship. Compassionate love may serve as a protective psychosocial resource that mitigates the negative impact of phubbing on self-perceptions.

护生慈悲爱、自我喜欢/自我能力、低头与被低头：一项横断面相关研究

目的探讨护生慈悲爱、自我喜欢/自我能力、低头和被低头之间的关系。方法对188名护生进行横断面相关研究。结果肥胖与被低头呈中度正相关（r = 0.41, p < .001）。低头和被低头都与自我喜欢呈弱负相关（r = -）。21, p = 0.004, r =−。20, p = 0.006)，而自我能力与这两个变量均无显著相关。同情爱仅与自我能力呈正相关（r = .23, p = .001）。每天使用智能手机≥5小时的学生报告了显著更高的低头得分（p = 0.002）。适度分析显示，同情的爱减弱了低头和自我喜欢之间的负相关（β = 0.77, p = 0.043）。结论护生中，高水平的低头症与低水平的自我喜爱相关，而慈悲之爱似乎可以缓冲这种不利关系。富有同情心的爱可以作为一种保护性的社会心理资源，减轻低头对自我认知的负面影响。
