Results The short video addiction score of junior college nursing students from Anhui University of Chinese Medicine was (33.34 ± 10.744) points. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that subjective emptiness (β= 0.409, P< 0.001), depression symptoms (β= 0.124, P= 0.001) were significantly positively correlated with short video addiction; conversely, school belongingness (β= -0.132, P< 0.001) was significantly negatively correlated with short-video addiction. Conclusion The study indicates that the degree of short-video addiction among junior college nursing students is at a moderate level.
