This study evaluated the effectiveness of an 8-week digital detox program on digital screen use among 300 nursing students and explored associations between screen use and demographic variables. A one-group pretest posttest design was employed using the Social Media Addiction Scale Student Form. The digital detox program was implemented for 8 weeks. Digital hygiene, self-reflection and goal setting, mental wellness, screen time management, physical health, interpersonal relationships, digital detox challenges, and hobby-based activities. Chi-square test was employed to determine the associations between digital screen use and demographic variables, respectively. t-tests were conducted to compare the mean screen time across different demographic groups. Results showed that 42% of students had high social media use, while 20% had low use. The overall mean score of social media use decreased significantly from 64.13 to 47.79 postintervention (p < 0.05), indicating the program's effectiveness. The study suggests incorporating digital detox routines to balance technology use with health, productivity, and external connections.
本研究评估了为期 8 周的数字排毒计划对 300 名护理学生数字屏幕使用的有效性，并探讨了屏幕使用与人口统计学变量之间的关联。采用社交媒体成瘾量表学生表，采用单组前后测试设计。数字排毒计划实施了 8 周。数字卫生、自我反思和目标设定、心理健康、屏幕时间管理、身体健康、人际关系、数字排毒挑战和基于爱好的活动。分别采用卡方检验和 t 检验来确定数字屏幕使用与人口统计学变量之间的关联。结果表明，42%的学生社交媒体使用程度较高，而 20%的学生使用程度较低。社交媒体使用的总体平均得分从干预前的 64.13 显著下降到干预后的 47.79（p < 0.05），表明该计划有效。研究表明，应将数字排毒常规纳入日常生活中，以平衡技术使用与健康、生产力和外部联系。
