This study examined the correlation between social media usage, sharenting practices (sharing parenting-related content on social media), and psychological well-being among 130 mothers whose children visited Baskent University Hospital between April 2020 and January 2021.
The participants completed an online questionnaire that assessed their social media usage, sharenting practices on Instagram, as well as their levels of depression, life satisfaction, and psychological resilience. Additionally, the researchers created an Instagram account and followed the mothers' social media activities.
The findings revealed that Instagram was the most commonly used social media platform, with mothers using it an average of 5.8 times per day and spending an average of 75 min per day on the platform. Sharing privacy-violating photos of their children was positively correlated with the mothers' own depressive symptoms (r = 0.285, p < 0.01) and negatively correlated with their life satisfaction (r=-0.274, p < 0.01). Similarly, sharing children's photos containing identifiable information was positively correlated with mothers' depressive symptoms (r = 0.373, p < 0.01) and negatively correlated with their life satisfaction (r=-0.282, p = 0.001).
These findings indicate a significant relationship between social media usage, sharenting practices, and the psychological well-being of mothers. The study underscores the importance of raising awareness about the potential risks associated with social media use, particularly among mothers who engage in sharenting practices.
本研究调查了2020年4月至2021年1月期间，孩子在巴斯肯特大学医院就诊的130位母亲的社交媒体使用情况、晒娃行为（在社交媒体上分享育儿相关内容）与心理健康之间的相关性。
参与者完成了一份在线问卷，该问卷评估了她们的社交媒体使用情况、在照片墙（Instagram）上的晒娃行为，以及她们的抑郁水平、生活满意度和心理复原力。此外，研究人员创建了一个照片墙账户，并关注了这些母亲的社交媒体活动。
研究结果显示，照片墙是最常用的社交媒体平台，母亲们平均每天使用5.8次，每天在该平台上花费的时间平均为75分钟。分享侵犯孩子隐私的照片与母亲自身的抑郁症状呈正相关（r = 0.285，p < 0.01），与她们的生活满意度呈负相关（r = -0.274，p < 0.01）。同样，分享包含可识别信息的孩子照片与母亲的抑郁症状呈正相关（r = 0.373，p < 0.01），与她们的生活满意度呈负相关（r = -0.282，p = 0.001）。
这些研究结果表明，社交媒体使用、晒娃行为与母亲的心理健康之间存在显著关系。该研究强调了提高对社交媒体使用潜在风险的认识的重要性，尤其是在那些有晒娃行为的母亲中。
