The overutilization of mobile devices by nursing students has been found to adversely affect their physical and cognitive health, potentially impeding the cultivation of a proficient nursing workforce. Previous research has identified social anxiety and loneliness as influential contributors to mobile phone addiction, but the relationship between these three factors has not been extensively examined. The objective of this research was to investigate the role of loneliness in mediating the relationship between social anxiety and mobile phone addiction, as well as the moderating influence of sleep duration on the relationship between social anxiety, loneliness, and mobile phone addiction among nursing students.
We enrolled 437 students from the Be Resilient to Nursing Career program (BRNC) between October and December 2023. Surveys were employed to evaluate the levels of social anxiety, loneliness, and mobile phone addiction among nursing students. Three types of analyses were performed: latent profile analysis, mediation analysis, and moderation analysis.
The following three profiles of social anxiety were identified: low social anxiety (23.8%), middle social anxiety (42.8%), and high social anxiety (33.4%). The significant mediating effect of loneliness in the relationship between social anxiety based on latent profile analysis and mobile phone addiction was observed (SE = 0.709, 95%CI = 1.821, 4.618; SE = 0.561, 95%CI = 1.161, 3.345, respectively). The moderating role of sleep duration between social anxiety, loneliness, and mobile phone addiction was not significant (P > 0.05).
Heterogeneity exists in social anxiety among nursing students. Loneliness serves as a significant mediating factor between social anxiety and mobile phone addiction. The moderating influence of sleep duration should be validated in future research.
研究发现护理专业学生过度使用移动设备会对其身体和认知健康产生不利影响，可能会阻碍培养一支熟练的护理队伍。以往的研究已确定社交焦虑和孤独感是导致手机成瘾的影响因素，但这三个因素之间的关系尚未得到广泛研究。本研究的目的是探讨孤独感在社交焦虑与手机成瘾关系中的中介作用，以及睡眠时间对护理专业学生社交焦虑、孤独感和手机成瘾之间关系的调节作用。
2023年10月至12月，我们招募了437名参加“适应护理职业计划”（BRNC）的学生。通过问卷调查评估护理专业学生的社交焦虑、孤独感和手机成瘾水平。进行了三种类型的分析：潜在剖面分析、中介分析和调节分析。
确定了以下三种社交焦虑类型：低社交焦虑（23.8%）、中度社交焦虑（42.8%）和高社交焦虑（33.4%）。基于潜在剖面分析，观察到孤独感在社交焦虑与手机成瘾关系中具有显著的中介作用（标准误分别为0.709，95%置信区间为1.821，4.618；标准误为0.561，95%置信区间为1.161，3.345）。睡眠时间在社交焦虑、孤独感和手机成瘾之间的调节作用不显著（P>0.05）。
护理专业学生的社交焦虑存在异质性。孤独感是社交焦虑与手机成瘾之间的重要中介因素。睡眠时间的调节作用有待未来研究进一步验证。
