<p>Results summary for hypothesized mediation paths.</p>

A 2026 study of 563 nursing students at the University of Cape Coast, Ghana, analyzed the mediating roles of sleep problems and smartphone addiction. The dataset contains results from a Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling analysis of survey data on perceived faculty support, academic satisfaction, sleep problems, and smartphone addiction.

Use Cases

• Validate the reported negative correlation (r = -0.727) between perceived faculty support and sleep problems using the provided model results.
• Replicate the mediation analysis showing smartphone addiction as a partial mediator between faculty support and academic satisfaction.
• Examine the structural equation model paths linking faculty support, sleep problems, smartphone addiction, and academic satisfaction.
• Assess the reported positive association (r = 0.334) between faculty support and academic satisfaction within the Ghanaian nursing student context.

Strengths

• Data from a clearly defined sample of 563 nursing students.
• Analysis conducted using standardized tools and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM).
• Results include specific correlation coefficients (e.g., r = 0.334, r = -0.727) and p-values for key relationships.
• Focus on an understudied population and context: nursing students in a low-resource setting (Ghana).

Limitations

• Small dataset size (5.5 KB), indicating it contains summary results, not the raw survey data.
• Cross-sectional design limits causal inference from the reported associations.
• Findings are specific to nursing students at a single Ghanaian university, limiting generalizability.
