RESUMO
AIMS: To investigate the association between professionalism and social media competence among Chinese mainland nursing undergraduates. DESIGN: This study employed a cross-sectional descriptive correlation design. PARTICIPANTS: From June to July 2021, 797 nursing students from four nursing colleges in Jiangsu Province, China, were chosen using stratified cluster sampling. METHODS: The questionnaire included the Chinese version of the Nursing Professionalism Scale and the Social Media Competency Scale. The association between professionalism and social media competency was examined using Pearson's correlation analysis. RESULTS: The professionalism of nursing undergraduates (average scores:70.44 ± 8.82) was at a medium level. Social media self-efficacy, performance expectancy, facilitating conditions and social influence (3.76 ± 0.75, 3.87 ± 0.60, 3.53 ± 0.69, 3.41 ± 0.76) were at a medium-high level, while social media experience and effort expectancy (3.03 ± 0.72, 2.60 ± 0.59) were at medium and low levels. Among nursing undergraduates, professionalism was related to social media competence, among which, professionalism was positively correlated with social media self-efficacy (r = 0.40, p < 0.01), social media experience (r = 0.50, p < 0.01), performance expectancy (r = 0.34, p < 0.01), facilitating conditions (r = 0.41, p < 0.01), but negatively correlated with effort expectancy (r = -0.10, p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: The professionalism of nursing undergraduates is related to social media. The scores of social media self-efficacy, social media experience, performance expectancy and facilitating conditions of nursing students with high professionalism were higher than those of nursing students with low professionalism. IMPACT: This study suggests that developing a course on health communication on social media can help nursing students improve their professionalism. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Participants completed a survey via the online survey platform Wenjuangxing.

Objective@#To analyse the construction and use of primary and secondary school clinics in China, and to provide the reference for the construction and management of infrastructure of the clinics of primary and secondary schools.@*Methods@#By using stratified cluster random sampling method, 873 primary and secondary schools were selected in east, middle and west of China as research objects to describe the construction and management of the clinics of primary and secondary schools. Regional differences were analyzed by statistical method.@*Results@#Among the 873 schools investigated, 294 (33.7%) schools had clinics, 177 (20.3%) schools had healthcare rooms, and 402 (46.0%) schools had no clinics or healthcare rooms. Among the 294 clinics, only 56 (19.0%) schools had medical institution licenses; 73 (24.8%) schools had a construction area of ≥40 square meters; 135 (45.9%) schools had legal clinics, and 38 (12.9%) schools was a disinfection supply room, 2 (<0.01%) schools had a laboratory, 165 (56.1%) schools was not independent between the departments; the overall standard school clinics construction rate was less than 5%. There were differences in the construction of clinics and healthcare rooms in the east, middle and west parts of China (χ2=237.33, P<0.01). Equipment allocation of the country's primary and secondary schools’ clinics were uneven among regions. The normal allocation rates of thermometer, visual acuity chart and lever weight scale were 96.6%, 83.0% and 75.9%, respectively, and the allocation rate of ultraviolet lamp was 66.7%. Less than 50% syringes and high-pressure sterilizers could be used normally. The reasons for the failure to provide health services in clinics was the absence of equipment and space, which account for 43%.@*Conclusion@#The construction of school clinics and healthcare rooms in China is insufficient, and regional differences are obvious, especially in the west. It is necessary to strengthen regional construction, allocate and use the equipment reasonably.
