Social media platforms are integrated into the lives of students. Their use in education has been studied, but this research is scarce in nursing. The objective of this study was to develop and validate the questionnaire "Use and views of the social media for nursing education" through a pilot study, to describe the use and attitudes of nursing students to social media.
Cross-sectional design to validate the modified scale "Students' Use and Views of the Social Media questionnaire." The sample consisted of 107 undergraduate nursing students.
The factor analysis extracted three main components to explain social media use for nursing education, with component 1 being the "Need to use media in my professional training," component 2-"To deepen my professional knowledge" and component 3 "Contrast information." High reliability was demonstrated with Chronbach's alpha value (0.84).
The final tool was proven to have high validity and reliability values, so it is positioned as a viable tool to explore this reality. Students use social media for education in a high proportion and have positive attitudes regarding their education inclusion.
社交媒体平台已融入学生的生活。人们对其在教育中的应用进行了研究，但护理领域的此类研究较少。本研究的目的是通过一项试点研究开发并验证“社交媒体在护理教育中的使用与看法”问卷，以描述护理专业学生对社交媒体的使用情况和态度。
采用横断面设计来验证修改后的“学生对社交媒体的使用与看法问卷”量表。样本包括107名护理学本科学生。
因子分析提取了三个主要成分来解释社交媒体在护理教育中的使用情况，成分1为“在我的专业培训中使用媒体的需求”，成分2为“深化我的专业知识”，成分3为“核实信息”。Chronbach's alpha值（0.84）表明该问卷具有较高的信度。
最终工具被证明具有较高的效度和信度值，因此它是探索这一现实情况的可行工具。学生中很大一部分人将社交媒体用于教育，并且对其纳入教育持积极态度。
