Description
ABSTRACT
Introduction: The shift to online learning methods during the COVID-19 pandemic has
significantly impacted the duration of gadget use. This change has been associated with
health issues, including disrupted sleep patterns and altered student social interactions.
This study explores the relationship between gadget use sleep patterns and social
interactions among nursing students at Airlangga University during the pandemic.
Methods: This research was conducted from January 21 to 23, 2022, using a correlational
descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach. The study included 164 nursing
students from Airlangga University, selected through simple random sampling. The
independent variable was gadget use, and the dependent variables were changes in sleep
patterns and social interactions. Instruments used included the Smartphone Addiction
Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and Social Interaction Anxiety Scale. Data were
collected via a questionnaire and analyzed using Spearman's rho test, with significance set
at <0.05.
Result : Based on the results study, there was significant a relationship between gadget
use and sleep patterns (p = 0.037, r = -0.163) and social interaction with results (p = 0.002,
r = -236).
Conclusion: Excessive use of gadgets, coupled with poor time management, can lead to
social dysfunction in students, making them apathetic and less aware of their
surroundings. Increased gadget usage correlates with reduced sleep quality and
diminished social interaction. This research will serve as a valuable source of information
and a reference for promoting health education and counseling related to gadget usage.
