Opis

Social media addiction is a behavioral addiction that is characterized as being overly concerned about social media, driven by an uncontrollable urge to log on to or use social media, and devoting so much time and effort to social media that it impairs other important life areas. Excessive Internet use can negatively affect a student´s life in which students facing family problems and lose social communication. Since nursing is based on providing comprehensive health care using modern technology, including internet technology, nurses must teach students how to not be addicted to the Internet, and thus we can build a healthy professional life.
