Correlations analysis on the use of screen-based electronics and psychological resilience among college students
Objective To investigate the prevalence of the use of screen-based electronics and explore their relationship with psychological resilience among university students.Methods In May-June 2021,a self-developed structured self-administered web-based questionnaire"Survey on the Use of Video Screen Electronic Products and Psychological Resilience of College Students"was administered to 826 college students using a convenience sampling method.Results It was found that 35.71％(295/826)of university students used screen-based electronic devices for 2 to＜4 hours daily for study purposes,with no statistically significant gender difference(x2=3.89,P=0.27),and 45.88％(379/826)of students used these devices for 2 to＜4 hours daily for entertainment,with females spending more time on entertainment than males(x2=12.81,P=0.005);44.55％(368/826)of students used mobile phones for 1 to＜3 hours daily for study,with no significant gender difference(x2=5.29,P=0.259),46.37％(383/826)used mobile phones for 1 to＜3 hours daily for entertainment,with a significant gender difference favoring females(x2=16.18,P=0.003).The primary time periods for using screen-based electronic devices were evening(84.99％,702/826),leisure time(83.29％,688/826),and lunchtime(35.71％,533/826),with no significant gender differences(x2=0.90,0.61,1.26;P=0.344,0.440,0.262,respectively).Totally 48.43％(400/826)of university students exhibit moderate dependence on screen-based electronic devices,with no statistically significant gender difference(x2=6.58,P=0.086).Students primarily used these devices for entertainment(87.41％,722/826),social media(74.82％,618/826),and study(64.53％,533/826),with females using social media significantly more than males(x2=10.06,P=0.002).The average attitude score towards screen-based electronic devices was 31.33±4.02,with no significant gen-der difference(t=1.63,P=0.103).The total psychological resilience score among university students was 59.65±12.81,with males scoring higher than females(t=3.71,P＜0.001)Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that being male(β=3.33,95％CI:1.57-5.10),having a monthly allowance greater than 1200 yuan(β=2.00,95％CI:0.30-3.70),having good academic performance(β=3.12,95％CI:1.43-4.80),and having a higher attitude score to-wards screen-based electronic devices(β=1.00,95％CI:0.79-1.21)were associated with better psychological resili-ence.In contrast,higher dependence on screen-based electronic devices(β=-7.08,95％CI:-12.10--2.06)and using them overnight(β=-3.93,95％CI:-7.37--0.48)were associated with poorer psychological resilience.Conclusion Most university students exhibit excessive use of screen-based electronic devices,with overall more time spent on enter-tainment than on studying.The use of screen-based electronic devices is closely associated with the psychological resilience of university students,and the rational use of electronics may help improve psychological resilience.
