背景：本研究的目的是确定社交媒体依赖与抑郁症状之间的关联，并描述依赖程度。这是一项横向的分析研究。对象和方法：分层样本是来自一所使用 Facebook、Instagram 和/或 Twitter 的私立大学的 212 名学生。为了测量抑郁症状，使用了贝克抑郁量表，为了测量对社交媒体的依赖，使用了改编自埃切布鲁阿网络成瘾测试的社交媒体成瘾测试。使用 STATA12 对收集的数据进行描述性统计分析。结果：结果显示社交媒体依赖与抑郁症状之间存在关联（PR [患病率] = 2.87，CI [置信区间] 2.03-4.07）。研究还表明，与使用 Facebook 相比，更喜欢使用 Twitter（PR = 1.84，CI 1.21-2.82）而不是 Instagram（PR = 1.61，CI 1.13-2.28）与抑郁症状相关。结论：过度使用社交媒体与大学生的抑郁症状相关，在那些更喜欢使用 Twitter 而不是 Facebook 和 Instagram 的学生中更为突出。
Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the association between social media dependence and depressive symptoms and also, to characterize the level of dependence. It was a transversal, analytical research. Subjects and Methods: The stratified sample was 212 students from a private university that used Facebook, Instagram and/or Twitter. To measure depressive symptoms, Beck Depression Inventory was used, and to measure the dependence to social media, the Social Media Addiction Test was used, adapted from the Internet Addiction Test of Echeburua. The collected data were subjected for analysis by descriptive statistics where STATA12 was used. Results: The results show that there is an association between social media dependence and depressive symptoms (PR [Prevalence Ratio] = 2.87, CI [Confidence Interval] 2.03-4.07). It was also shown that preferring the use of Twitter (PR = 1.84, CI 1.21-2.82) over Instagram (PR = 1.61, CI 1.13-2.28) is associated with depressive symptoms when compared to the use of Facebook. Conclusion: Excessive social media use is associated with depressive symptoms in university students, being more prominent in those who prefer the use of Twitter over Facebook and Instagram.
