Abstract

Background: The link between problematic social media use (SMU) and mental health among youth has been established. However, there is insufficient information on how mental health is influenced by COVID-19 pandemic-related changes and positive aspects of SMU. This study aims to determine the relationship of pandemic-related changes in SMU, and two types of SMU (problematic and reflective use) with mental health among young Filipino undergraduates. Methods: A total of 1087 Filipino undergraduates aged 18 to 30 years old participated in this cross-sectional study. Data collection via online survey was conducted in August 2021. Results: Findings indicate the significant association between the perceived changes in SMU and mental health among respondents (P <0.001). In terms of type of use, results suggest that students who demonstrate lower problematic SMU (B=-0.608, P <0.001, 95% CI=-0.955 - -0.259) and higher reflective SMU (B=3.524, P <0.001, 95% CI=2.051- 4.895) had higher mental wellbeing. Moreover, poorer mental wellbeing was observed among females and LGBTQ+ respondents with poorer internet quality (P <0.05). Conclusion: Mental health among young Filipino undergraduates is influenced by pandemic-related changes and types of SMU. With the increasing necessity of social media amid the COVID-19 pandemic, mental health practitioners and advocates can increase their visibility online to promote reflective SMU as a protective factor against mental health decline.

问题与反思的使用:社交媒体的使用类型是菲律宾年轻大学生心理健康的决定因素。
背景:有问题的社交媒体使用(SMU)与青少年心理健康之间的联系已经确立。然而,关于与COVID-19大流行相关的变化和新大的积极方面如何影响心理健康的信息不足。本研究旨在确定菲律宾青年大学生中与流行病相关的SMU变化,以及两种类型的SMU(问题性使用和反思性使用)与心理健康的关系。方法:对1087名年龄在18 ~ 30岁的菲律宾大学生进行横断面研究。通过在线调查收集数据于2021年8月进行。结论:菲律宾青年大学生的心理健康受到流行病相关变化和SMU类型的影响。在COVID-19大流行期间,社交媒体的必要性日益增加,心理健康从业者和倡导者可以提高他们在网上的知名度,以促进反思性SMU作为防止心理健康下降的保护因素。
