During the COVID-19 pandemic period, the level of anxiety and the duration of social media use increased in university students.
This study aimed to examine the relationship between coronavirus anxiety and social media addiction in university students.
The sample consisted of 346 university students in Turkey. The data were collected online using the Sociodemographic Data Form, the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale Short Form and the Social Network Addiction Scale. The data were analysed using one-way analysis of variance, Mann-Whitney U test, Pearson correlation analysis, chi-square analysis and multiple linear regression analysis.
The results showed that the mean coronavirus anxiety score was higher in men than in women. Social media addiction increased as the daily time spent by the students on social media increased. A positive correlation was found between the daily time spent on social media before the pandemic and social media usage during the pandemic. It was concluded that students use social media more during the pandemic than before it and that social media addiction increases as the students' coronavirus anxiety increases.
It is important to plan initiatives to reduce coronavirus anxiety to prevent social media addiction in young people.
The research population consisted of 1st and 2nd year students who are studying in the Medical Services and Techniques Department of Vocational School of Health Services at a university located in the west of Turkey, during the Fall Term of academic year 2020-2021. Students in this department are studying in anaesthesia, dialysis, first and emergency aid, medical laboratory techniques, medical imaging technique, and medical documentation and secretarial programmes.
在 COVID-19 大流行期间，大学生的焦虑水平和社交媒体使用时间增加。
本研究旨在检验大学生冠状病毒焦虑与社交媒体成瘾之间的关系。
该样本由土耳其的 346 名大学生组成。使用社会人口统计学数据表格、冠状病毒焦虑量表短表和社交网络成瘾量表在线收集数据。使用单因素方差分析、Mann-Whitney U 检验、皮尔逊相关分析、卡方分析和多元线性回归分析对数据进行分析。
结果表明，男性的冠状病毒焦虑得分均值高于女性。随着学生每天在社交媒体上花费的时间增加，社交媒体成瘾度增加。在大流行前，学生每天在社交媒体上花费的时间与大流行期间的社交媒体使用量呈正相关。研究结论为，学生在大流行期间比大流行前更多地使用社交媒体，随着学生冠状病毒焦虑的增加，社交媒体成瘾度也会增加。
重要的是要计划采取措施减少冠状病毒焦虑，以防止年轻人对社交媒体的成瘾。
研究人群由土耳其西部一所大学职业健康服务学院医疗服务与技术系的 1 年级和 2 年级学生组成，在 2020-2021 学年秋季学期。该系的学生学习麻醉、透析、急救、医学实验室技术、医学影像技术和医学文件与秘书课程。
