“…For example, mobile phone use may be the primary choice for bedtime procrastinators, because the mobile phone's strong accessibility and powerful functions [76] could achieve their immediate happiness and satisfaction, which increases the probability of PMPU. In addition, a longitudinal study of 633 middle school students also showed that academic procrastination is an antecedent to PMPU [88]. These findings indicate that PMPU and bedtime procrastination may have a mutual causal relationship and form a vicious circle.…”

Background Cross-sectional and longitudinal studies have found that problematic mobile phone use, bedtime procrastination, sleep quality, and depressive symptoms are strongly associated. However, studies are inconsistent regarding whether problematic mobile phone use predicts depressive symptoms or vice versa, and sleep factors have been infrequently focused on in this regard. In addition, few studies have examined the longitudinal associations and directions of effects between these factors. Therefore, this study aims to explore the longitudinal relationship among problematic mobile phone use, bedtime procrastination, sleep quality, and depressive symptoms in college students. Methods Overall, 1181 college students completed questionnaires on problematic mobile phone use, bedtime procrastination, sleep quality, and depressive symptoms at two time points 12 months apart. A cross-lagged model was used to examine the longitudinal relationship between these factors. Results Cross-lagged analyses showed significant bidirectional relationships of problematic mobile phone use with bedtime procrastination and depressive symptoms. Additionally, there were also significant bidirectional relationships of sleep quality with bedtime procrastination and depressive symptoms. Problematic mobile phone use predicted subsequent sleep quality one-way, and bedtime procrastination predicted subsequent depressive symptoms one-way. Conclusions This study further expands our understanding of the longitudinal and bidirectional relationships among problematic mobile phone use, bedtime procrastination, sleep quality and depressive symptoms and helps school mental health educators design targeted interventions to reduce problematic mobile phone use, sleep problems, and depressive symptoms among college students.

“…Especially in the era of routine epidemic control and prevention after 2020, college students are used to employ mobile phones as their daily life instrument for conducting interactive learning activities, such as taking online lessons and completing class assignments (Shi et al, 2021 ). However, there still without exception existed cell phone dependence (CPD) among Chinese college students (Hong et al, 2021 ). CPD is described as the compulsive habit of avoiding reality or producing excitement via cell phone use with symptoms, such as salience and withdrawal (Lam et al, 2009 ).…”

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of cell phone dependence (CPD) on mental health among undergraduates during the COVID-19 pandemic and further identify the determinants that may affect their mental health in China.MethodsThe data were collected from 602 students at a medical school in Shanghai via an online survey conducted from December 2021 to February 2022. The Mobile Phone Addiction Index (MPAI) and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) were applied to evaluate CPD and mental health, respectively. Independent sample t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were employed to compare the means of continuous variables among categorical groups. Correlations between continuous variables were detected using Pearson's correlation analysis. Univariable and multivariable logistic regressions were employed to identify the determinants of mental health.ResultsAmong the 402 eligible students, 73.88% were women with an average age of 20.19 ± 2.36 years. On average, the DASS score was 32.20 ± 11.07, the CPD score was 36.23 ± 11.89, and the cell phone use duration was 7.67 ± 3.61 h/day. CPD was found to have a negative effect on mental health among college students in Shanghai. Additionally, cell phone use duration, age, being senior students, faculty-student relationship, insomnia, tobacco use, obesity, and life satisfaction were clarified as contributing factors to mental health among college students.ConclusionHigh degree of CPD could have a negative effect on college students' mental health, which might lead to some psychological problems. Appropriate actions and effective interventions are highly needed to prevent severe psychological injuries among college students in China.

El uso problemático del smartphone se ha convertido en un problema a nivel global con amplias repercusiones en el ámbito educativo. El presente meta-análisis estudia la relación entre el uso problemático del smartphone y la procrastinación en estudiantes. La búsqueda bibliográfica se realizó en las bases de datos Web of Science, PsycInfo y Scopus, obteniendo un total de 18 artículos que cumplían los criterios de inclusión con una muestra total de 8,679 participantes. Los resultados confirman una relación positiva de intensidad moderada entre el uso problemático del smartphone y la procrastinación en estudiantes (Zr = 0.40). Los posibles efectos moderadores del sexo, la edad y el nivel educativo de los participantes fueron analizados. Se indica la necesidad de implantar programas para prevenir el uso problemático del smartphone en estudiantes y de continuar investigando la relación entre las dos variables, especialmente mediante estudios de tipo longitudinal.
