Abstract

Background: The prevalence of social media influence in education makes it necessary to investigate how it might affect nursing students’ academic achievement and sense of self. To our knowledge, the associations between academic performance, self-esteem, and social media usage among nursing students from Saudi Arabia remain understudied. Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationships between academic performance, self-esteem, and the utilization of social media platforms by Saudi Arabian nursing students. Methods: This descriptive correlational study employed a convenience sample of 220 nursing students (response rate 95.2%). An online survey with questions about demographics, students’ academic performance, social media usage, and self-esteem was used for data collection from 1 March to May 2023. Pearson correlation coefficients, independent t-tests, Analysis of Variance, and hierarchical regression were used for data analysis. Results: Social media use had an average score of 3.60 ± 0.66, self-esteem was 2.13 ± 0.27, and academic performance was 3.95 ± 0.58. The students’ academic performance related positively to the utilization of social media platforms (r = 0.210, p <0.01). There were statistically positive correlations between academic purpose and social motives domains of utilizing social media and academic performance (r = 0.304, p <0.01; r = 0.208, p <0.01) respectively. The amount of time students spent on social media was not related to their self-esteem (r = 0.047, p >0.05). The students’ self-esteem was unrelated to their academic achievement (r = 0.059, p >0.05). Conclusions: Utilizing social media channels can assist nursing students in improving their academic achievement. Therefore, nursing educators and decision-makers in nursing education have the opportunity to establish collaborative learning environments by integrating social media. This approach aims to improve communication, enhance the learning experience, and ultimately improve the academic achievements of nursing students.

Abstract

Background: Paradoxical leadership, characterized by balancing competing yet interrelated managerial demands, such as maintaining managerial control while simultaneously allowing nurses’ professional autonomy, has emerged as a promising leadership approach in complex healthcare environments. However, empirical evidence regarding how paradoxical leadership relates to positive psychological outcomes, such as psychological empowerment and workplace thriving, remains limited in nursing research, particularly within Middle Eastern healthcare contexts.Purpose: This study examined the association between paradoxical leadership and workplace thriving among nurses and explored the potential mediating role of psychological empowerment.  Methods: A cross-sectional correlational study was conducted using a convenience sample of 231 nursing staff from three tertiary hospitals. Data were collected through a web-based survey that included the Paradoxical Leadership Behavior Scale, Psychological Empowerment Scale, and Thriving at Work Scale, along with demographic information. Structural equation modeling using the partial least squares approach was applied to examine the hypothesized relationships.Results: Nurses reported moderate levels of paradoxical leadership (M = 3.12, SD = 0.44), psychological empowerment (M = 4.37, SD = 0.69), and workplace thriving (M = 3.45, SD = 0.45). Paradoxical leadership was positively associated with psychological empowerment (β = 0.720, p < .001) and workplace thriving (β = 0.553, p < .001). Psychological empowerment was also positively associated with workplace thriving (β = 0.336, p < .001). Mediation analysis indicated a significant indirect association between paradoxical leadership and workplace thriving through psychological empowerment (β = 0.241, p < .001), suggesting a partial mediation pattern consistent with the proposed model.Conclusion: Paradoxical leadership was positively associated with nurses’ workplace thriving both directly and indirectly through psychological empowerment. These findings highlight the potential relevance of leadership practices that balance competing managerial demands in supporting nurses’ positive work experiences. Leadership development initiatives that foster empowering leadership behaviors may help strengthen nurses’ engagement and thriving within healthcare organizations.
