BMF CP46: Impacts of social influence on Moroccan nursing students’ ICT using intention
AISDL Team
August 11, 2023
1. Project description
1.1. Main objectives
The current study is conducted to examine whether the relationship between social influence and information and communication technologies (ICT) using intention is moderated by the students’ daily frequency of using social media and the number of classmates being friends on social media.
1.2. Materials
The mindsponge theory will be used for conceptual development, and Bayesian Mindsponge Framework (BMF) analytics will be used for statistical analysis on a dataset of 702 Moroccan nursing students [1-4]. The bayesvl R package, aided by the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm, will be employed for statistical analyses [5-8]. For more information on BMF analytics, portal users can refer to the following book [9]. Data and code snippets of this initial analysis were deposited at: https://osf.io/73pwj/.
1.3. Main findings
The analysis shows that social influence is positively associated with nursing students’ intention to use ICT during the clinical internship to learn. The relationship is moderated by both the daily frequency of using social media and the number of classmates being friends on social media.
