In modern society, social media addiction (SMA) has become a serious problem in many countries, including China. Almost every medical care professional has their own social media account. They are also at risk for SMA, but no SMA studies in Chinese medical care professionals have been published. This study aims to investigate the status and influencing factors of SMA among Chinese medical care professionals.
A cross-sectional study was conducted among 519 physicians and nurses from two randomly selected hospitals using a questionnaire that included the Social Networking Service Addiction Scale (SNSAS), Maslach's Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS), the General Self-efficacy Scale (GSES), and eight demographic datasets.
This study's findings showed that most of the participants' (357,68.79%) scores reached 2.5 points (half of the highest possible score), indicating that SMA scores of Chinese medical care professionals were relatively high. Significant differences in SMA scores by age ( < 0.01), marital status ( < 0.01), professional title (p < 0.01), and working years (p < 0.01) were found. Income satisfaction (p < 0.01) and sleep quality ( < 0.05) were negatively correlated with SMA. The GSES score was not correlated with SMA ( = 0.377). Burnout significantly positively affected SMA ( < 0.01).
Our study found that the SMA scores of Chinese medical care professionals were relatively high. To reduce the SMA level of the medical care population, we should first start with reducing burnout, enabling medical care professionals to achieve sufficient sleep, increasing medical staff income, and providing more opportunities for promotion.
在现代社会，社交媒体成瘾（SMA）在包括中国在内的许多国家已成为一个严重问题。几乎每位医护人员都有自己的社交媒体账号。他们也面临社交媒体成瘾的风险，但尚未有针对中国医护人员社交媒体成瘾的研究发表。本研究旨在调查中国医护人员社交媒体成瘾的现状及影响因素。
采用横断面研究方法，对两家随机选取医院的519名医生和护士进行问卷调查，问卷包括社交网络服务成瘾量表（SNSAS）、马氏职业倦怠通用量表（MBI-GS）、一般自我效能感量表（GSES）以及八个人口统计学数据集。
本研究结果显示，大多数参与者（357人，占68.79%）的得分达到2.5分（最高可能得分的一半），表明中国医护人员的社交媒体成瘾得分相对较高。研究发现，社交媒体成瘾得分在年龄（p<0.0)、婚姻状况（p<0.01）、职称（p<0.01）和工作年限（p<0.01）方面存在显著差异。收入满意度（p<0.01）和睡眠质量（p<0.05）与社交媒体成瘾呈负相关。一般自我效能感量表得分与社交媒体成瘾无相关性（p=0.377）。职业倦怠对社交媒体成瘾有显著的正向影响（p<0.01）。
我们的研究发现，中国医护人员的社交媒体成瘾得分相对较高。为降低医护人群的社交媒体成瘾水平，应首先从减少职业倦怠入手，使医护人员获得充足睡眠，提高医护人员收入，并提供更多晋升机会。
