Abstract:
Objective:To understand the social networking using status of medical students, develop the social networking using status scale (SNUSS) and evaluate its reliability and validity.Methods:In March 2018, 665 valid questionnaires were collected via cluster sampling. The scale was retest in 46 subjects after an interval of 2 months. Factor analysis, correlation analysis and t-test were used to calculate the structure validity and content validity of the scale to evaluate the scale validity, and internal consistency reliability, broken half reliability and retest reliability were used to evaluate the scale reliability. Results:The result of exploratory factor analysis showed NSUSS had two subscales: the dimension of maintaining existing social relations and social network use and the dimension of expanding circle of friends and social network use. The result of confirmatory factor analysis showed that the factor load value of each item was greater than 0.500 ( P < 0.05), and the model fitted well ( χ2/ df = 2.873, GFI = 0.970, CFI = 0.971, RMSEA = 0.074). The r value of correlation between SNUSS and MSPSS was 0.295. I-CVIs were all equal to 0.90, and S-CVI was 0.90, the internal consistency reliability was 0.764, the split-half reliability was 0.555, and the retest reliability was 0.526. Conclusion:SNUSS has good reliability and validity for the use of social network among medical college students, and the use of social network is related to perceived social support.
