Abstract

Cybervictimization is a form of violence or harassment conducted online, which can lead to negative impacts on psychological conditions, one of which is anxiety. Cybervictimization is particularly prevalent among late adolescents and young adults, as this age group frequently uses social media as a primary means of daily interaction. This study aimed to examine the association between cybervictimization and anxiety levels among nursing students at STIKes Dharma Husada. The study employed a quantitative method with a correlational design and a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 76 respondents. Research instruments included the Cybervictimization Scale (CYBVICS) and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7). Data were analyzed using Spearman’s Rank test. The findings showed that the majority of respondents experienced moderate levels of cybervictimization (50.0%), and most reported severe anxiety (56.6%). Correlation analysis revealed a significant association between cybervictimization and anxiety, with a p-value of 0.001 and a correlation coefficient of 0.449, indicating a moderate positive relationship. In conclusion, the higher the level of cybervictimization experienced, the higher the level of anxiety among students. Based on these findings, it is recommended that educational institutions and students pay greater attention to the prevention and management of the psychological impacts of digital violence
