A Study On The Current Situation And The Relationship Among Medical College Students’ Social Anxiety,Self-control And Mobile Phone Dependence

Objective(s):1.Analyze the general situation of medical college students’ social anxiety、self-control and mobile phone dependence;2.Analyze the differences in social anxiety,self-control and mobile phone dependence in the general information of medical college students;3.Explore the relationship among social anxiety,self-control and mobile phone dependence in medical college students;4.To verify the moderating and mediating role of medical students’ self-control between social anxiety and mobile phone dependence.Methods:This study selected the undergraduates from the freshman to junior year of Kunming Medical University as the research objects for investigation.The interaction anxiousness scale(IAS)was used to measure the social anxiety of medical college students;the students ’ Self-control Scale(SCS)was used to measure the self-control;and the college students’ smart phone addiction scale(SAS-C)was used to measure the mobile phone dependence.Spss25.0 was used for data analysis such as descriptive statistics,t-test,analysis of variance,Pearson correlation,regression analysis,moderating effect and mediating effect.Results:1.15.40%of medical college students are depending on mobile phones,and 34.81%tend to be depending on mobile phones.This suggests that our medical college students have a high risk of mobile phone dependence.The total mean score of social anxiety for medical college students is(46.18±7.56),which is higher than the the normal model of Hunan university students(3 7.31 ±6.52)for college students.In terms of self-control,the total mean score of self-control is(58.72±8.94).2.Men and women have significant differences in the APP use and APP update of mobile phone dependence,and women scores higher than men in the APP use(P<0.05),In the respect of APP update,men scores higher than women’s(P<0.05).They also have significant differences in social anxiety,women scores are higher than men’s(P<0.05).But there is no significant difference in the total scores of self-control and its various dimensions in gender.(P>0.05).The scores of non-only children on the negative influence dimension of mobile phone dependence,APP update dimension,self-control total score and restraint entertainment dimension were significantly higher than that of only children(P<0.05).There was no significant difference between only children and non-only children in social anxiety scores(P>0.05).There was no significant difference between medical students and non-medical students in the total scores of mobile phone dependence and its various dimensions(P>0.05).The scores of non-medical students on the self-control and entertainment dimension were significantly higher than those of medical students(P<0.05),and there was no significant difference in the total scores of self-control and other dimensions between medical students and non-medical students(P>0.05).The scores of non-medical students on social anxiety were significantly higher than those of medical students(P<0.05).There were no significant differences between the Han and ethnic minorities in the total scores of mobile phone dependence,self-control and social anxiety(P>0.05).There are significant differences in the total scores and negative impact dimensions of mobile phone dependence and APP update dimensions in different source of students(P<0.05).After the comparison the total score of rural mobile phone dependence and its negative effects and APP update dimensions are significantly higher than those in cities.Different source of medical college students have significant differences in the scores of self-control and it’s entertainment control dimensions(P<0.05).The post-comparison shows that rural medical college students’scores on the control entertainment dimension are higher than those in the urban and suburban areas.But there were no significant differences in the total scores of self-control,other dimensions,and social anxiety scores(P>0.05).Different grades of medical college students have significant differences in the total scores of mobile phone dependence,prominent behaviors,negative influences,and APP update dimensions(P<0.05).It can be compared that the mobile phone reliance on the senior year is greater than the freshman,Highlight behavior,negative influence,and APP update of mobile phone dependence all show the characteristics that the senior is greater than the freshman,and the sophomore is greater than the freshman.There were no significant differences in the scores of self-control,various dimensions of self-control and social anxiety among medical students of different grades(P>0.05).3.Self-control is significantly negatively correlated with mobile phone dependence and social anxiety,and social anxiety is significantly positively correlated with mobile phone dependence(p<0.01).The total score of self-control,various dimensions of self-control and social anxiety have a significant predictive effect on mobile phone dependence.4.Self-control plays a moderating and Partial mediation role between social anxiety and mobile phone dependenceConclusion(s):1.The problem of mobile phone dependence among medical college students is serious.Almost half of the students have mobile phone dependence or mobile phone dependence tendency.2.For medical college students,reducing social anxiety and improving self-control can effectively reduce the problem of mobile phone dependence.3.We need to think about the effect of demographic variables when intervene mobile phone dependence,social anxiety,and self-control of the students in medical college school.
