Perceived stress and mobile phone addiction among nursing college students:the chain-mediating role of anxiety and flow experience
Objective To explore the chain mediating effect of anxiety and flow experience on per-ceived stress and mobile phone addiction in nursing college students.Methods In December 2021,a cross-sectional design survey was conducted on 4 179 freshmen and sophomores in a nursing college in Heilongjiang Province.The Chinese perceived stress scale,generalized anxiety disorder-7,flow state scale,and mobile phone addiction tendency scale were selected separately to assess perceived stress,anxiety symptoms,flow ex-perience and mobile phone addiction.SPSS 26.0 software was used for descriptive analysis,independent sample t-test,Spearman correlation analysis,and AMOS 24.0 software was used for mediating effect test.Re-sults(1)Among the 3 050 nursing students,there were 714(23.41％)students who were addicted to mo-bile phones.(2)Spearman correlation analysis indicated that perceived stress(27.31±9.56)was positively correlated with anxiety(7.00(1.00,10.00),r=0.441,P＜0.05),flow experience((12.00±3.40),r=0.517,P＜0.05),and mobile phone addiction((42.42±13.05),r=0.476,P＜0.05).Anxiety was positively correlated with flow experience(r=0.430,P＜0.01)and mobile phone addiction(r=0.538,P＜0.01).Flow experience was positively correlated with mobile phone addiction(r=0.490,P＜0.01).(3)Anxiety and flow experience played seperate mediating and chain mediating roles between perceived stress and mobile phone addiction,accounting for 26.06％(0.165/0.633),23.54％(0.149/0.633)and 3.48％(0.022/0.633)of the total effect.Conclusion Perceived stress not only directly affects the mobile phone addiction of nursing students,but also indirectly affects mobile phone addiction through the independent and chain me-diating effects of anxiety and flow experience.
