“…Our study showed a significant relationship between the hours of using social media during the day and SMA; this finding confirms the results of previous studies (30,39,43). Anand et al reported that the amount of time a person spends on the Internet is an important factor that increases the risk of Internet addiction.…”

Background and aims: This study aimed to identify the status of social media addiction (SMA) and some related factors in nursing and midwifery students in Iran. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 284 Nursing and Midwifery students participated. The study was conducted from October 4, 2021 to February 16, 2022. Sampling was done by simple random method. The data collection tool was Bergen’s Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS). Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 22. Pearson correlation and multivariate linear regression tests were used to analyze the data. Results: 234 (82.39%) of the students had some level of social media addiction. There was a statistically significant relationship between the hours of using social media during the day and the duration of using these media with addiction (β=0.537, P<0.001). There was a significant relationship between SMA and living single and independently (β=0.58, P=0.032). SMA had no significant relationship with other demographic characteristics of students (P>0.05). A statistically significant relationship was also between SMA and students’ academic performance (β=-0.412, P<0.001). Conclusion: The prevalence of SMA in the study population was alarmingly high. This emerging social problem should be considered in the community of nursing and midwifery students. Because this type of addiction can affect the quality and quantity of nursing care, with the development of attractive social networks dedicated to education and learning, these networks should be directed toward useful student goals.

“…For instance, one may use a social feature of the Internet for both content and process gratifications, e.g., chatting on a social networking site (SNS) to connect with a possible suitor offline (content use) vs. spending time on SNS to escape real-life interpersonal deficits (process use). Studies exploring Problematic SNS Use (PSNSU; Hussain & Griffiths, 2018;Hussain & Wegmann, 2021) and Problematic Social Media Use (PSMU; Bányai et al, 2017;Shannon et al, 2022) The addictive potential of the Internet has been argued upon since its first formal identification by Young (1996). There exists much disagreement over an appropriate diagnostic label for the phenomena.…”

Problematic Internet Use (PIU), with its adverse health outcomes, is a clinically established phenomenon that is not formally diagnosable yet. The latest PIU research reveals differential psychological mechanisms underlying two types of Internet usage: social use (like using social media, chatrooms, and others) and non-social use (like live streaming, short-form video viewing, and others). Social forms of PIU often signal underlying interpersonal issues, including loneliness, attachment problems, and social skill deficits. In comparison, non-social usage might indicate emotion regulation problems, including emotion recognition deficits, poor cognitive empathy, and emotion suppression. A common developmental concomitant of these functions is the ability to mentalize, operationalized as Reflective Functioning (RF). While studies supporting the role of impaired RF in problematic social uses of the Internet abound, only a few studies relating RF deficits to non-social PIU are identifiable. Also, mentalizing is multidimensional, with cognitive and affective poles influencing emotion regulation and interpersonal functioning. Deficits in both poles of mentalizing have been differentially implicated in non-social and social PIU. Based on the latest empirical evidence in Internet-use problems, the multifaceted role of mentalizing could be meaningfully assimilated into a novel social-cognitive model of PIU. To that end, the current paper attempts to theoretically integrate affective and cognitive mentalizing, with its roles in emotion regulation and interpersonal functioning, into Bandura’s Social-Cognitive Theory of PIU. The theoretical model might have implications in developing a mentalization-based treatment modality for PIU that could train individuals in efficiently regulating emotions and navigating real-life social situations without resorting to an over-involvement with the virtual world.

“…From the analysis of the structure and environmental characteristics of SNS, we may conclude that communication through SNS develops online, being an excellent alternative for those who are confronted with anxiety. As research in the field (Hussain and Wegmann, 2021) emphasized, people experiencing high levels associated with anxiety appreciate that communicating in an online environment is much less intimidating than communicating face-to-face. In the current study, the user's perception was analyzed on the aspects related to the fatigue felt after using SNS, as well as on information overload by asking specific questions to which they answered through a notation to highlight how often they use social networks.…”

“…SNSs are strongly grounded in interpersonal relationships, as people who tend to trust these platforms continue to use them frequently, influencing their interactive behavior (Zafar et al, 2021). The primary role of trust in social networks is described by different levels of perception among users, suggesting that trust in the SNS may cause the response of social network users to the information they find during use and navigation (Hussain and Wegmann, 2021;Zafar et al, 2021). Individuals' perceptions of trust in social networks can attract and keep users' attention to posts, comments, or videos shared through certain social channels or existing profiles/accounts on the network used (Li et al, 2011).…”

Social networking sites and social media serve as vital avenues of interaction among people all over the world as well as essential platforms for the distribution of information. Companies, like individuals, embrace social networks as a non-formal way to engage with their customers and suppliers, gather information about their online behavior, and offer personalized content. Both scholars and managers from various organizations looking to increase their competitive edge or market shares have an interest in the impact that social networks have on human behavior. Because of this, the current research seeks to investigate how users perceive a wide range of concepts related to using social networking sites, including fear of missing out (FoMO), social networking fatigue, information and communication overload, ubiquitous connectivity and peer communication, and privacy concerns. The authors also examined users’ intentions to continue using social networking sites despite the COVID-19 outbreak in order to ensure a more thorough understanding of the research topic. The findings aim to provide a better knowledge of how users see interaction on social networks in their daily lives as well as an overview of user perspectives on the terms mentioned above.
