Previous studies have emphasized the media as an essential channel for understanding information about depression. However, they have not divided groups according to the degree of media use to study their differences in depression. Therefore, this study aims to explore the influence of media use on depression and the influencing factors of depression in people with different media use degrees.
Based on seven items related to media use, a total of 11, 031 respondents were categorized by the frequency of media use using latent profile analysis (LPA). Secondly, multiple linear regression analyzes were conducted to analyze the effects of depression in people with different degrees of media use. Finally, factors influencing depression among people with different degrees of media use were explored separately.
All respondents were classified into three groups: media use low-frequency (9.7%), media use general (67.1%), and media use high-frequency (23.2%). Compared with media use general group, media use low-frequency ( = 0.019, = 0.044) and media use high-frequency ( = 0.238, < 0.001) groups are significantly associated with depression. The factors influencing depression in the population differed between media use low-frequency, media use general, and media use high-frequency groups.
The government and the appropriate departments should develop targeted strategies for improving the overall health status of people with different media use degrees.
以往研究强调媒体是了解抑郁症信息的重要渠道。然而，它们并未根据媒体使用程度对群体进行划分，以研究其在抑郁症方面的差异。因此，本研究旨在探讨媒体使用对抑郁症的影响以及不同媒体使用程度人群中抑郁症的影响因素。
基于与媒体使用相关的七个项目，使用潜在剖面分析（LPA）根据媒体使用频率对总共11,031名受访者进行分类。其次，进行多元线性回归分析，以分析不同媒体使用程度人群中抑郁症的影响。最后，分别探讨不同媒体使用程度人群中抑郁症的影响因素。
所有受访者被分为三组：媒体使用低频组（9.7%）、媒体使用一般组（67.1%）和媒体使用高频组（23.2%）。与媒体使用一般组相比，媒体使用低频组（β = 0.019，p = 0.044）和媒体使用高频组（β = 0.238，p < 0.001）与抑郁症显著相关。媒体使用低频组、媒体使用一般组和媒体使用高频组人群中影响抑郁症的因素有所不同。
政府和相关部门应制定有针对性的策略，以改善不同媒体使用程度人群的整体健康状况。
