Association between Screen Time and SCRAM (Sleep, Circadian Rhythm, and Mood) among Student Nurses: A Descriptive Correlational Study

Key Points

• The study aims to explore the relationship between screen time and its effects on sleep, circadian rhythm, and mood in student nurses.
• Descriptive correlational design
• Surveys to assess screen time, sleep quality, circadian rhythm patterns, and mood states
• Data analysis to find correlations between screen time and SCRAM components.
• Increased screen time is associated with poorer sleep quality.
• Changes in circadian rhythm are linked to higher screen usage.
• Deterioration in mood is correlated with excessive screen exposure.
