Abstract

Background: Instagram is one of the social media that is growing rapidly in Indonesia. However, the impact of Instagram usage intensity, especially on the users’ emotional well-being, is still unclear. This study aimed to explore the impact of the intensity of using Instagram on the self-esteem among preclinical medical students in Jakarta. Methods: This study was an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional approach in preclinical medical students in Jakarta, Indonesia, conducted from January 2020 to January 2021. Sampling was performed by stratified random sampling followed by simple random sampling. Instagram usage intensity and self-esteem were measured using the Instagram Intensity Scale Questionnaire (IISQ) and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. Results: Of the108 students, 45.4% had used Instagram above the usage intensity average (average 3.01), of whom 30.6% had low self-esteem (15 out of 49). There was a significant relationship between Instagram usage intensity and self-esteem (p=0.031). Conclusion: Instagram usage intensity has an impact on the self-esteem of preclinical medical students. Further studies are needed to explore this issue, as to see other contributing factors and a larger population with different characteristics.

Instagram使用强度对临床前医学生自尊的影响

背景：Instagram是印尼发展迅速的社交媒体之一。然而，Instagram使用强度的影响，尤其是对用户情绪健康的影响，仍不清楚。本研究旨在探讨使用Instagram的强度对雅加达临床前医学生自尊的影响。方法：本研究是一项观察性分析研究，采用横断面方法，于2020年1月至2021年1月在印度尼西亚雅加达的临床前医学生中进行。抽样采用分层随机抽样和简单随机抽样。使用Instagram强度量表（IISQ）和Rosenberg自尊量表（RSES）测量Instagram使用强度和自尊。数据采用卡方检验进行分析。结果：在108名学生中，45.4%的学生使用Instagram的强度高于平均水平（平均3.01），其中30.6%的学生自卑（49人中有15人）。Instagram使用强度与自尊之间存在显著关系（p=0.031）。需要进一步的研究来探索这个问题，以了解其他促成因素和具有不同特征的更大人群。
