Student Satisfaction in Social Media-Based Learning Environments: Development, Validation, and Psychometric Evaluation of the CuSAERS (Questionnaire of Satisfaction With Educational Activities Performed on Social Media).
Article in JMIR medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundSocial media platforms are increasingly integrated into higher education, enabling collaborative, student-centered learning. Yet, few instruments specifically measure students' satisfaction with these activities across platforms. A brief, valid tool is needed to evaluate perceived quality and guide instructional design in social media-based learning environments.
objectiveThis study investigated the use of social media as educational tools in the university environment, with the aim of designing and validating the CuSAERS (Questionnaire of Satisfaction With Educational Activities Performed on Social Media).
methodsUsing a mixed and sequential methodology, we explored the perceptions of bachelor's and master's degree students in physiotherapy who participated in teaching activities through X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram. The first phase of the project identified key dimensions of satisfaction from the literature, expert interviews, and cognitive interviews. The second phase assessed the psychometric properties of the CuSAERS in a sample of 150 students, addressing construct validity, internal reliability, concurrent validity, and discriminant validity.
resultsExploratory factor analysis supported a 3-factor structure-perception of learning, task satisfaction/environment, and self-realization-explaining 61.9% of the variance, with acceptable overall reliability. Concurrent validity was supported by moderate correlations with the Academic Satisfaction Scale. Master's students reported higher scores than bachelor's students.
conclusionsCuSAERS provides preliminary evidence as a promising measure of student satisfaction with social media-based learning activities; its use should remain formative and cautious until confirmatory and invariance analyses are completed.
