“…The average study hour of Korean adolescents is often between 12 to 16 h, which was 7~11 h longer than the average study hour of adolescents in other countries [ 57 ]. Korean adolescents try to relieve their academic stress by using smartphones that are easy to carry and full of stimulating content [ 7 , 58 ]. This leads to sleep disturbance and reduced sleep efficiency, further suggesting that over-dependency on smartphones strongly reduces the quality of life and positive health behavior in adolescence.…”

The purpose of this study was to identify the association between physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior (SB), satisfaction with sleep fatigue recovery (SSFR), and smartphone dependency in South Korean adults. We analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2020 data. We selected participants who answered Internet addiction-related questions as “Very much” (n = 241) and answered Internet addiction-related questions as “Not at all” (n = 241) in the questionnaire. The participants were matched by age and gender, then divided into two groups. Between the two groups, there were considerable differences in the number of days participating in moderate to vigorous PA (5 days or more, p = 0.01), the number of strength training days (1 day, p = 0.02), the number of light PA days for more than 60 min (every day for the last 7 days, p = 0.01), and the SSFR over the past 7 days (p < 0.05). Additionally, the mean smartphone usage time and mean sedentary behavior time between the two groups showed significant differences. The study demonstrated that there were significant associations between PA, SB, SSFR, and smartphone dependency among Korean adolescents matched by age and gender. Additionally, this study highlights the importance of increasing overall PA and number of days participating in MVPA, decreasing SB time and smartphone usage time could reduce the incidence of smartphone overdependence.

This study aims to examine the relationship between intrapersonal factors, interpersonal factors, smartphone screen time, and the moderating roles of interpersonal factors, on the basis of the ecological model. This study is a cross-sectional and descriptive study. A total of 428 participants from four public middle schools were selected through convenience sampling (55.1% female; Mean age 13.0 ± 0.78). Data were collected through self-report questionnaires that contained questions about sociodemographic characteristics, intrapersonal factors (types of smartphone use, Fear of missing out—FoMO), interpersonal factors (support from parents, teachers, and peers), and smartphone screen time. The collected data were analysed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and hierarchical regression. The daily smartphone screen time was 4.05 ± 2.16 h. Results showed that social media (β = 0.155), games (β = 0.140), and FoMO (β = 0.227) were positively associated with smartphone screen time, while educational videos (β = −0.130) and parental support (β = −0.212) were negatively associated with smartphone screen time. Peers support moderated the association between games and smartphone screen time. Parental support moderated the association between educational videos, videos/movies/TV, and smartphone screen time. The findings highlight the direct and interactive roles of intrapersonal and interpersonal factors in predicting adolescents' smartphone screen time. Based on this study, the intrapersonal and interpersonal factors of adolescents should be comprehensively considered to intervene in their proper smartphone use.

“…The socioeconomic challenges faced by people with addiction problems are complex and have significant consequences both for those affected and for society as a whole. Addiction, whether related to substances such as drugs and alcohol, activities such as gambling, or behaviors such as Internet or smartphone use, is considered a major public health problem with significant socioeconomic implications [ 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 ]. The impact of addiction on an individual’s socioeconomic status manifests itself in various facets and includes economic hardship, homelessness, and incarceration [ 42 , 44 , 48 ].…”

This comprehensive review article examines the complex overlap of affective disorders, psychoses, addictions, anxieties, post-traumatic stress disorder, and somatic symptom disorder in the context of cancer patients, and highlights the intricate interplay between psychiatric and oncological diagnoses. Based on extensive literature, it highlights the profound socioeconomic burdens that result from the coexistence of these disorders. The analysis includes the increased healthcare costs, impaired adherence to treatment, and reduced quality of life for individuals struggling with the co-occurrence of psychiatric and cancer-related problems. By synthesizing the available data through a narrative inquiry, the report aims to provide a nuanced understanding of the multiple socioeconomic challenges faced by this vulnerable patient population. The synthesis of information provides valuable insights for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and researchers alike. The aim is to promote the development of more effective and integrated care strategies tailored to the specific needs of people navigating the complicated environment of psychiatric and cancer diagnoses. Ultimately, this review should enable progress in the provision of holistic, patient-centered care for this complex intersection of health conditions.
