Resumen
Las redes sociales son plataformas que inicialmente se crearon para facilitar la comunicación y el acercamiento entre personas, brindando cercanía, y se han vuelto indispensables en la sociedad actual, pero su uso desmedido ha provocado que se invierta una gran cantidad de tiempo en ellas, afectando negativamente la vida de los jóvenes en diferentes ámbitos, propiciando comportamientos como el aislamiento social, ansiedad y depresión, entre otras. Estudios como el de Celis Infante et al. (2021), han evidenciado la relación entre el uso prolongado de dispositivos móviles y trastornos del sueño en los adolescentes, Asimismo, Obando Peralta et al. (2021) han encontrado una estrecha conexión entre el uso desmedido de redes sociales y comportamientos agresivos en los estudiantes.
Esta investigación tiene como objetivo general establecer el uso excesivo de las redes sociales en los estudiantes del grado décimo de la Institución Educativa Técnica Comercial Francisco Javier Cisneros, del municipio de Puerto Colombia, departamento del Atlántico; para ello se plantearon tres objetivos específicos que son: determinar el tiempo dedicado a las redes sociales, evaluar el nivel de obsesión e identificar la falta de control personal en su uso de las redes.
La metodología implementada en la investigación es de tipo cuantitativo, con un enfoque descriptivo, mediante el cual estableció el uso excesivo de las redes sociales por parte de los estudiantes. La población objetivo de la investigación estuvo constituida por los estudiantes de la Institución Educativa Técnica Comercial Francisco Javier Cisneros, con un total de 1.600 estudiantes, la muestra seleccionada es de 133 estudiantes del grado 10, de los cuales el 46% son hombres y el 54% son mujeres, el muestreo es intencional, considerando la homogeneidad de los participantes en términos de edad y grado.
El instrumento utilizado fue el de adicción a las redes sociales de Escurra M, (2014), esta es una herramienta diseñada para evaluar la presencia y grado de adicción a las redes sociales en las personas, consta de 24 ítems que evalúan diferentes dimensiones: a) Obsesión por las redes sociales, b) Falta de control personal en el uso de las redes sociales y c) Uso excesivo de las redes sociales. El cuestionario de adicción a las redes sociales de Escurra M se presenta en formato de escala Likert con 5 opciones de respuestas que va desde "nunca" hasta "siempre" y se puede administrar de manera individual o colectiva.
Los resultados revelan una presencia moderada de uso excesivo de las redes sociales en la mayoría de los estudiantes evaluados, los puntajes se distribuyen principalmente en el rango de 10 a 20, lo cual indica que estos individuos están dedicando un tiempo considerable y presentan una dependencia moderada hacia las redes sociales, algunos estudiantes obtienen puntajes más altos, lo que sugiere una presencia significativa de uso excesivo de las redes sociales en esos casos particulares.
Dentro de los limitantes de esta investigación, se encontró que el principal fue la falta de tiempo, toda vez que solo se pudo describir el uso excesivo por parte de los estudiantes, lo que dejó de lado la posibilidad de adentrarse en las posibles consecuencias que esto podría traer, en este sentido, se insta a que nuevas investigaciones de desarrollen en la institución educativa y se puedan identificar las consecuencias de este uso excesivo y, de ser el caso, intervenir y mejorar.
Con base en los resultados obtenidos en los tres factores evaluados en la investigación se puede concluir que existe una presencia significativa de uso excesivo de las redes sociales en la mayoría de los estudiantes evaluados, indicando un consumo considerable de tiempo dedicado a estas plataformas. de igual manera se evidenció que la mayoría de los estudiantes evaluados presentan niveles moderados de obsesión por las redes sociales, con algunos individuos mostrando una presencia significativa de obsesión. Por último, se identificó falta de control personal en el uso de las redes sociales por parte de los estudiantes del grado 10° y los resultados indicaron que la mayoría de los estudiantes evaluados experimentan dificultades para controlar su tiempo y comportamiento en las redes sociales, reflejando un nivel moderado de falta de control personal en su uso.
Social networks are platforms that were initially created to facilitate communication and rapprochement between people, providing closeness, and have become essential in today's society, but their excessive use has caused a large amount of time to be invested in them, affecting negatively the lives of young people in different areas, promoting behaviors such as social isolation, anxiety and depression, among others. Studies such as that of Celis Infante et al. (2021), have shown the relationship between the prolonged use of mobile devices and sleep disorders in adolescents. Likewise, Obando Peralta et al. (2021) have found a close connection between the excessive use of social networks and aggressive behavior in students. The general objective of this research is to establish the excessive use of social networks in the tenth grade students of the Francisco Javier Cisneros Commercial Technical Educational Institution, in the municipality of Puerto Colombia, department of Atlántico; For this purpose, three specific objectives were proposed, which are: to determine the time dedicated to social networks, to evaluate the level of obsession and to identify the lack of personal control in their use of the networks. The methodology implemented in the research is quantitative, with a descriptive approach, through which it established the excessive use of social networks by students. The target population of the research was constituted by the students of the Francisco Javier Cisneros Commercial Technical Educational Institution, with a total of 1,600 students, the selected sample is 133 students of grade 10, of which 46% are men and 54 % are women, the sampling is intentional, considering the homogeneity of the participants in terms of age and grade. The instrument used was that of addiction to social networks by Escurra M, (2014), this is a tool designed to evaluate the presence and degree of addiction to social networks in people, it consists of 24 items that evaluate different dimensions: a ) Obsession with social networks, b) Lack of personal control in the use of social networks and c) Excessive use of social networks. The Escurra M social media addiction questionnaire is presented in a Likert scale format with 5 response options ranging from "never" to "always" and can be administered individually or collectively. The results reveal a moderate presence of excessive use of social networks in most of the students evaluated, the scores are distributed mainly in the range of 10 to 20, which indicates that these individuals are spending considerable time and present a moderate dependence towards social networks, some students obtain higher scores, which suggests a significant presence of excessive use of social networks in those particular cases. Within the limitations of this research, it was found that the main one was the lack of time, since only excessive use by students could be described, which left aside the possibility of delving into the possible consequences that this could bring, in this sense, it is urged that new research be developed in the educational institution and the consequences of this excessive use can be identified and, if applicable, intervene and improve. Based on the results obtained in the three factors evaluated in the research, it can be concluded that there is a significant presence of excessive use of social networks in most of the students evaluated, indicating a considerable consumption of time dedicated to these platforms. Likewise, it was evidenced that most of the students evaluated present moderate levels of obsession with social networks, with some individuals showing a significant presence of obsession. Finally, a lack of personal control in the use of social networks by 10th grade students was identified and the results indicated that most of the students evaluated experience difficulties in controlling their time and behavior on social networks, reflecting a moderate level of lack of personal control in its use.
