To determine orthorexia tendency and social media addiction among candidate doctors and nurses.
This was a cross-sectional study conducted in 2019 with 969 candidate doctors and nurses training in a peripheral public university. Data were collected via ORTO-15 and Social Media addiction scales and analyzed by using percentage, mean, χ test, and binary logistic regression.
Of the study population, 78.8% were social media addicts and 62.2% had orthorexic tendencies. The ratio of orthorexic tendency was 31.0% among high/very high addicts (p < 0.05).
In preclinical years, both groups should be screened for early detection of orthorexia tendency and social media addiction. A combination of therapy and nutrition education should be used and social media literacy should be promoted to raise awareness of orthorexia.
确定医学生和护士候选人的饮食强迫症倾向和社交媒体成瘾情况。
这是 2019 年在一所外围公立大学进行的横断面研究，共纳入 969 名医学生和护士候选人。通过 ORTO-15 和社交媒体成瘾量表收集数据，并采用百分比、均值、χ2 检验和二元逻辑回归进行分析。
研究人群中，78.8%为社交媒体成瘾者，62.2%有饮食强迫症倾向。高/极高成瘾者中饮食强迫症倾向的比例为 31.0%（p<0.05）。
在临床前阶段，应针对这两个群体进行筛查，以早期发现饮食强迫症倾向和社交媒体成瘾。应采用联合治疗和营养教育，并促进社交媒体素养，以提高对饮食强迫症的认识。
