Do Nursing Students’ Cyberloafing Levels Affect Their Moral Sensitivity?

Excessive internet use during classes may adversely impact students’ moral sensitivity by affecting their ability to retrieve, process, and apply information effectively. This cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted to determine levels of cyberloafing and moral sensitivity in nursing students ( n = 211) and explore the relationship between them. Data were collected using the Cyberloafing Behavior Scale and Modified Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire for Student Nurses. Students primarily engaged in sharing as a form of cyberloafing behavior; a significant negative correlation was observed between sharing and interpersonal orientation. Both moral sensitivity and cyberloafing behaviors were at moderate levels.
