“…Regarding the CFA, before proceeding with this analysis we checked for the normality of the indicators using AMOS. Next, we took into account the most universal fit indices to estimate the model: (1) Chi-square test not significant; (2) CMIN/DF < 3; (3) Goodness-of-Fit Index (GFI) > 0.9, Adjusted Goodness-of-Fit Index (AGFI) > 0.9, and Comparative Fit Index (CFI) > 0.9; (4) Root Mean Square Errors of Approximation (RMSEA) ≤ 0.06; with the confidence interval of LO and HI between 0.05 and 0.08; (5) Standardized Root Mean Squared less than 0.05; (6) 0.05 ≤ PCLOSE ≤ 1; (7) CN HOELTER index 0.05 and 0.01 ≥ 200 (Bollen and Liang 1988;Mueller and Hancock 2008;Świ ątek et al 2021). Since our samples were relatively large and were at risk of a not significant Chi-square, we opted for the CN to determine the adequacy of the samples (Froiland et al 2019).…”

Divine engagement applies to a positive relationship with God in which people feel that God is close to them and answers their prayers. Divine disengagement pertains to an unsteady connection and a sense of God’s absence. Although several questionnaires consider the concerns of the human experience of prayer, only one deals precisely with the subject of the human perception of divine engagement and disengagement in response to one’s prayer. The main goals of the present research were to: (1) determine the latent structure of the Brief Measure of Perceived Divine Engagement and Disengagement in Response to Prayer (PDED) in a sample set; (2) test whether the factor structure indicated by EFA matches the data and provides an equivalent goodness-of-fit index to Exline’s model; and (3) confirm that perceived divine engagement and disengagement are correlated with religious meaning, gratitude to God, and dimensions of religious centrality. The results show that the proposed two-factor structure of the eight-item version of the PDED is a suitable and reliable solution of the original PDED (Study 1). Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) revealed a good fit of the data to the model in both the second and third studies. Both dimensions of the PDED correlated significantly with all of the subscales of the RMS, GGQ–6, and CRS–15. The Polish version of the PDED demonstrated very good psychometric properties.

“…The Social Media Fatigue Scale (SMFS) published in 2021 by Zhang et al (Collaborative Innovation Cen-tre of Assessment for Basic Education Quality, Beijing Normal University, Beijing, China) consists of 15 statements [2]. We used the Polish adaptation of the scale developed by Świątek et al [9]. This 3-factor model uses a 7-point Likert scale (1 -strongly disagree, 2 -disagree, 3 -rather disagree, 4 -have no opinion, 5 -tend to agree, 6 -agree, 7 -strongly agree) to assess the level of social media fatigue in 3 subscales: cognitive aspects -5 statements, behavioural aspects -5 statements, and emotional aspects -5 statements.…”

Introduction: Social media fatigue is a concept used to refer to exhaustion due to the overuse of social media. Websites and social media profiles for nursing professionals are an important aspect of promoting the nursing profession and modern nursing practice. Aim of the study: To assess the level of social media fatigue among undergraduate nursing students in Poland. Material and methods: All undergraduate (3-year bachelor's program) Polish nursing students were eligible for the study. Out of 679 study participants, first-year students (n = 397, 58.73%) and women (n = 589, 87.13%) were the largest groups. The Social Media Fatigue Scale (SMFS) was used as a research tool. A p-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant in all analyses. Results: The analysis showed that the surveyed nursing students showed an average level of social media fatigue (M = 51.81, SD = 15.59). The majority of the study participants felt overwhelmed by the amount of information available on social media (n = 137, 20.3%). The respondents admitted to feelings of anger when they realized that using social media took too much of their time (n = 163, 24.1%). Conclusions: This original study showed that social media fatigue is a noticeable phenomenon among nursing students. In view of the risk of an increase in the level of perceived fatigue, it is advisable to provide adequate health education to improve the informational awareness of nursing students.

“…The Social Media Fatigue Scale (SMFS) was developed by Zhang et al 12 and adapted into Polish by Świątek et al 1 It is a 15-item scale which measures three dimensions of tiredness with social networks. The cognitive dimension refers to information overload (eg: "I am frequently overwhelmed by the amount of information available on social media sites").…”

Background Interdisciplinary literature indicates different correlates of social media fatigue (hereinafter: SMF). Some studies show that high levels of anxiety may induce lowered Internet use and lead social media users to withdraw from Internet activities. Since the relationship between anxiety and social media use is complex, it is important to investigate mediating factors that may indirectly contribute to or exacerbate this association. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to verify whether fear of missing out (hereinafter: FoMO) is a potential factor accounting for why anxiety is associated with SMF. Participants, Methods and Data Collection The research was conducted on a group of 264 adolescents and adults (85% women). The mean age of the respondents was M = 23.76 with SD = 5.98 (range = 14–50 years). The data were collected via online social networking among college students, their family members and friends. The participants answered the Trait Anxiety Scale (TAS), Social Media Fatigue Scale (SMFS), Fear of Missing Out Scale (FoMO), and Revised Life Orientation Test (LOT-R). Results The outcomes showed that respondents with higher levels of trait anxiety report more intense cognitive, behavioral, emotional, and overall online fatigue. Concurrently, individuals who experience FoMO on the Internet declare being tired of social media use. Moreover, FoMO mediates the association between trait anxiety and all three dimensions of SMF, and its overall result. Conclusion The present research increases our understanding of the possible role of apprehension related to missing out on the anxiety and fatigue connected to engagement in social media. It is possible to assess that trait anxiety might induce higher SMF when individuals experience a general apprehension that others are doing or having things that they do not.
