Lockdown was imposed as a preventive measure for coronavirus disease pandemic. Social media was the most common tool available for the masses, including the 1 year medical students during the lockdown. The objectives of the present study were to determine the extent of use of social media and the effects on mind-body and social distancing.
It was mixed research conducted on 1-year medical students using convenience sampling. The quantitative aspect of E-survey was administered through Google forms sent via E-mail, and structured telephonic interview was conducted as a qualitative aspect on randomly selected 10 students based on predecided interview questions. This study was reported as per the Checklist for Reporting Results of Internet E-Surveys. The analysis was performed using percentages and paired -test with significance at < 0.05, Chi-square test with Yate's correction. Qualitative responses were analyzed using coding and categorization.
The response rate was 88%. Time spent on social media for >4 h increased from 1.1% to 47.72% during lockdown. Forty three (48.86%) of the students reported increased mood fluctuations. The relation between mood fluctuations and time spent on social media of >4 h was significant χ= 6.41 with < 0.05. Average hours of sleep after using social media before lockdown increased significantly from 6.68 h to 8.10 h during lockdown using paired -test, where "t" was 6.84. There was a positive impact on communication with friends and family.
Due to the increased extent of use of social media during lockdown, negative mind-body effects have surfaced but emerged as boon in terms of communication.
实施封锁措施是为了预防新冠疫情。社交媒体是大众最常用的工具，包括在封锁期间的一年级医学生。本研究的目的是确定社交媒体的使用程度及其对身心和社交距离的影响。
采用便利抽样法对一年级医学生进行混合研究。电子调查的定量部分通过电子邮件发送的谷歌表单进行，结构化电话访谈作为定性部分，基于预先确定的访谈问题随机选取10名学生进行。本研究按照互联网电子调查结果报告清单进行报告。分析采用百分比和配对t检验（显著性水平<0.05）、经Yate校正的卡方检验。定性回答采用编码和分类进行分析。
回复率为88%。封锁期间，在社交媒体上花费超过4小时的时间从1.1%增加到47.72%。43名（48.86%）学生报告情绪波动增加。情绪波动与在社交媒体上花费超过4小时的时间之间的关系显著，χ=6.41，P<0.05。使用配对t检验，封锁前使用社交媒体后的平均睡眠时间从6.68小时显著增加到封锁期间的8.10小时，“t”值为6.84。对与朋友和家人的交流有积极影响。
由于封锁期间社交媒体使用程度增加，负面的身心影响已经显现，但在交流方面却成为了一件好事。
