University students almost universally use smartphones. The impact of smartphone addiction on academic performance is rarely studied among university students. In this study, the main objective was to explore the relationship between smartphone addiction and university enrollment. In order to collect the data, randomized sampling technique was used. To collect data a questionnaire was pretested and administered by an interviewer. The respondents' data were organized after collection. A data base was created in the computer using the software package Statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) Version 22.0. Among the 295 respondents, 81.7% of the respondents were addicted to smartphones based on the smartphone addiction scale (SPAS) and there was significant relationship found between genders, marital status and studying class with type of phone use, where p-values were 0.032, 0.028, and 0.043. Students at different universities were found to be addicted to smartphones in this study. Globally, particularly in developing countries such as Bangladesh, it has become an increasing public health issue.

Background — Increasing access to smartphones has led some researches to focus in this regard. Objective — the current study aimed to determine psychometric properties of the Persian version of Problematic Cellular Phone Use Questionnaire (PCPU-Q) among medical student at Kerman University of Medical Sciences. Material and Methods — A cross-sectional study carried out on 351 medical students. Data collected using a questionnaire including demographic data and the Persian versions of PCPU-Q. The higher score indicates a greater problem. Data analyzed by SPSS 20 and Lisrel 8.8. Cronbach’s alpha and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and exploratory/confirmatory factor analysis used for determining the reliability and construct validity of the questionnaire, respectively. Results — One hundred and seventy-two (49.0%) of the students had a problematic CPU. Cronbach’s alpha and ICC were 0.8 and 0.91, respectively. The model had acceptable goodness of fit indices in confirmatory factor analysis. Conclusion — The Persian version of PCPU-Q had good psychometric properties and can be useful for screening of problematic CPU among Iranian youth.

Today, we live in an era of Information and technology, where everything is available at the touch of a finger, and the speed of an electron. With the advent of the smartphone, new unbounded possibilities have opened up, bringing with them an array of mental, behavioural, and psychological problems. Aim Evaluation of the Prevalence of Mobile Phone dependence in Medical Students. A secondary aim involves finding out association of a factor, like age, sex, or years of usage with aforementioned dependence. Materials and Methods An observational survey was conducted, with an questionnaire for the students of a Medical College in Navi Mumbai (New Bombay), India. 340 students, from each of the 4 years from a Medical College in Navi Mumbai were selected for the sample. The students were randomly included, and criteria of having a mobile phone was applied. Participant information like age, gender, family type, phone type, duration of use per day and years of mobile phone usage was recorded. They were administered an MPD questionnaire based upon the dependence syndrome criteria as per ICD-10 criteria. According to their responses, participants who fulfilled three or more of the diagnostic criteria were rated as having MPD. Results The sample of 340 students was analyzed and the following results were obtained. ● Out of 340, 51 students matched the ICD-10 criteria, while 289 did not. At 95% Confidence Interval (CI), the prevalence was 15.04 ± 3.8 %. ● The mean age of all the students was calculated to be around 20.156 years. At 95% CI, we can say the mean age is 20.15 ± 0.15 years. Alternatively, it can be stated around 20 to 20.3 years. ● The percentage of males dependent were 17.30 ± 7.76 %, while for females they were 12.80 ± 7.36 %. ● Smartphone users were at 14.90 ±1.15 %, with the mean years of use sitting around 3.43 ± 0.27.
