“…This finding contradicts the findings of Al-Furaih and Al-Awidi (2021) , who found that students frequently utilize social media, resulting in disengagement from lectures. Nursing students, as students of health-related fields, use social media responsibly and professionally ( Lahiry et al, 2019 ).…”

Introduction During the pandemic, health issues associated with using digital devices and exploring social media, such as Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), have increased considerably. Objectives This study looked into CVS and its significance in Jordan and the CVS outcomes of undergraduate nursing students who used digital devices to surf social media during COVID-19. Methods To assess CVS, a quantitative cross-sectional research design was used. Data were collected in 2022 through an online diagnostic and formative survey utilizing the CVS-Questionnaire (CVS-Q) with 310 undergraduate nursing students from a government and a private university in Jordan. Descriptive statistics and the univariate general linear model were used to analyze the collected data. Results To report the prevalence of CVS among the studied sample, the median score was 1.80. The median prevalence score was 24.50 (range = 13–31), and 26.75% of participants reported having intense social media searches. For a student in this study to be diagnosed with CVS, they must receive a score of at least 5, and the current sample score was around 2, indicating they didn’t have a CVS; however, it was moderate when it occurred. About 26.75% of participants reported having problematic social media searches. Back and neck pain and headaches were the typical signs of CVS. The average daily hours spent using digital devices for social media searches increased during the pandemic utilizing mobile phones, especially among male nursing students. Being a junior student with no social media account and unable to balance study and social media were among the predictors of CVS. Most students used protective tools on their digital devices, such as protective films and phone screens, to prevent or accommodate CVS. Conclusion There were no prior collected data about CVS in Jordan, and based on the international trend, the COVID-19 pandemic didn’t directly contribute to the prevalence of CVS. However, when the CVS occurred, it was moderate, which mandates proactive and prophylactic redesigning of our educational system.

“…This is because the tertiary students in this research (Boahene et al, 2019) utilise WhatsApp groups to communicate with their friends. "Creating Educational Media and Software," Lahiry et al (2019) indicated that 88.58 percent of students in East India use social media for academic purposes and that it has a beneficial effect on their academic performance. The outcomes of these studies showed that using social media for academic purposes improves students' academic performance.…”

The aim of this study is to examine how social media affects students studying hospitality and tourism management in terms of their academic performance. The study's direction is determined by two objectives, which is exploring the usage and time spent of social media among Hospitality and Tourism Management students and investigating the relationship between social media usage and time spent on Hospitality and Tourism Management academic performance of students. A Google Form was used for submitting surveys to the respondents, and 386 responses were obtained and used for further analysis. Descriptive result of this study reported social media usage frequency is a more significant factor in determining its impact on individuals or society, rather than the amount of time spent on it. Further analysis and interpretation of the regression results could provide more insight into this relationship and the potential implications of these findings. It is proven that social media can be a valuable asset in the learning process when used properly, but it's important for students to be aware of its potential risks and take steps to use it in a responsible and productive manner.

“…Time spent on SNSs was not found to be associated with negative effects or psychiatric disorders ( Ojha et al, 2021 ); however, higher use of SNSs and dependence on them had positive association with anxiety and depression ( Barman et al, 2018 ; Basu et al, 2021 ). Medical students were more likely to use SNSs than paramedical and nursing students, although the level of academic use was equal ( Lahiry et al, 2019 ). Having gone through the related past studies, the researchers have revealed that medical students were using SNSs for sharing information, such as their ideas and opinions among peers.…”

Introduction The use of social networking sites (SNSs) is growing among higher education students, including healthcare students. Nonetheless, limited research has examined the perceived use behavior among healthcare students in developing countries such as India. Objective This study attempts to assess the use behavior of SNSs by undergraduate students in the fields of nursing and pharmacy in India through the lens of Connectivism and New Social Learning theories. Method The study used a Google form to collect data through an online questionnaire. A sample of 483 participants included 258 Bachelor of Science in Nursing students, 161 General Nursing and Midwifery students, and 64 Bachelor of Pharmacy students from various Indian nursing and pharmacy schools. Results The majority of the respondents prefer to use SNSs for several purposes such as watching academic videos on YouTube, sharing their ideas, thoughts, and current development in their respective fields through WhatsApp, getting job-related information from different Facebook pages, etc. A substantial number of nursing students believed that these SNSs help them build relationships with professionals across the country. At the same time, many students also indicated that extensive use of SNSs might cause sleep difficulties, data privacy concerns, and a lack of focus while studying. Conclusion To have an impact on how SNSs are used in healthcare education, more attention should be paid to build connectivism between educators and their students on social learning environment, which the findings of this study's suggestions could be put into practice.
