Social Media Impact on Nursing Students

The document describes the statistical tools used to analyze data from a study on the effects of social media utilization on online learning experiences. Descriptive statistics like frequency counts and percentages were used to analyze respondent profile data. A Likert scale was used to describe perceived effects, with the average weighted mean calculated. Correlation analysis with Pearson's Correlation Coefficient determined relationships between perceived effects and profile variables.

Treatment of Data

The data gathered were subjected to appropriate statistical tools to answer the specific

problem of the study.

To answer problem number 1, descriptive statistics, specifically frequency count and

percentage, were used; to describe their age, gender, year level, monthly family

income, type of gadget/s, internet connection and internet speed, and the number of

hours spent on social media and social media platforms. The respondent’s profile data

were analyzed using the formula of percentage:

f
P= ×100
n

Where:

P = Percentage

f = Frequency for Each Category

n = Total Number of Respondents

100 = Constant Multiplier

For problem number 2, the researchers used the average weighted mean and the five-

point Likert-type scale to describe the perceived effects of social media utilization on

the online learning experience of the student nurses.

A weighted scale is a satisfied tool that the researchers used to compute the weight of

the responses in the questionnaire assigned by the respondents during the actual data

gathering procedure, the formula for the weighted mean is as follows:


Σ FW
WM=
N

Where:

WM = Weighted Mean

Σ = Summation Symbol

f = Frequency for Each Option

W = Assigned Weight

n = Total Number of Frequencies

The following scale served as a guide in interpreting the gathered data.

Numerical Range Descriptive Rating Transmuted Equivalent


Value
5 4.50 - 5.00 Strongly Agree Highly Effective (HE)
4 3.50 - 4.49 Agree Effective (E)
3 2.50 - 3.49 Neutral Moderately Effective
2 1.50 - 2.49 Disagree (ME)
1 1.00 - 1.49 Strongly Disagree Slightly Effective (SE)
Ineffective (I)

For problem number 3, the researchers used correlation analysis specifically

Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient, to determine the significant relationship between

the perceived effects of social media utilization on the online learning experience of

the respondents and their profile variables. The formula for Pearson’s correlation

coefficient is as follows:

Σ ( x1 − x ) ( y 1 − y )
r=
√ Σ( x 1− x ) ( y1− y )
Where:

r = correlation coefficient

x 1 = values of the x-variable in a sample

x = mean of the values of the x-variable

y 1 = values of the y-variable in a sample

y = mean of the values of the y-variable
