Purpose: Every day, new technologies and appealing devices are released that are aimed at a large portion of our population, particularly youth, and students. These devices get young people addicted; the addiction is to frequently utilize or grow depending on the gadget. People spend a lot of time on it, and it can induce psychological and neurological disturbances, which can lead to significant problems. This study aims to determine the association between the usage of electronic gadgets on students’ physical health and cognitive skills. As COVID-19 indicated extensive use of technology, the main outcome of this study is to intervene in the impact of electronic gadgets either positive or negative on student life. Methodology: Over 01 year (Feb 21 to Jan 22), this Quantitative- Analytical Cross-sectional study was conducted at Indus University of Health and science, Korangi Crossing, Karachi. Students of three academic departments of the university participated in the study i.e., Indus College of Allied Health Sciences, Indus College of Physical Therapy, and College of Nursing. Sample size of 170 with the margin of error as 4.6% and 95% confidence level. Both male and female age group between (16 to 35) active user of social media and electronic gadgets was enrolled in study from any discipline (nursing, allied health, biosciences, medical technology etc.). Any person with mental and physical disorder previously diagnosed or under any psychological treatment or medication was not included in the study Findings: Recommendations: If the study is repeated with a larger and more representative sample (which was not possible due to COVID Pandemic) significant influence or otherwise, of time spent on electronic gadgets on physical health could also be detected.

“…Dampak negatif penggunaan smartphone dalam perkuliahan terlihat bahwa separuh dari mahasiswa mempunyai persepsi kurang baik dengan penggunaan smartphone, dimana smartphone memang cukup menghabiskan karena sering kalau sudah berkomunikasi jadi lupa waktu. Penggunaan smartphone dalam pembelajaran matematika dapat juga memiliki dampak negatif, diantaranya; 1) distraksi: Penggunaan smartphone dapat menyebabkan distraksi bagi siswa selama proses belajar, terutama jika siswa tidak dapat mengontrol diri untuk tidak mengakses aplikasi atau media sosial selama belajar (David et al, 2015); 2) Ketergantungan: Penggunaan smartphone yang berlebihan dalam pembelajaran dapat menyebabkan siswa menjadi terlalu tergantung pada perangkat tersebut sehingga kurang mampu untuk belajar dengan cara lain (Arumugam et al, 2020); 3) Kualitas belajar:…”

Smartphone adalah telepon pintar yang mempunyai fitur-fitur canggih dengan kemampuan tinggi serupa komputer. Smartphone dimiliki oleh semua mahasiswa di departemen matematika FMIPA Universitas Negeri Padang. Penggunaan smartphone yang baik akan membantu mahasiswa dalam perkuliahan dan sebaliknya penggunaan yang tidak baik akan membawa dampak negatif kepada mahasiswa. Tujuan penulisan artikel ini untuk mengetahui bagaimana persepsi mahasiswa Departemen Matematika FMIPA Universitas Negeri Padang terhadap pemanfaatan Smartphone dalam perkuliahan. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kuantitaif dengan analisis data deskriptif dengan metode survei. Angket persepsi mahasiswa digunakan sebagai instrumen pengumpulan data persepsi mahasiswa departemen matematika yang mengambil mata kuliah Statistika Matematika pada semester Januari-Juni 2022.

Background Behavioral activation has gained increasing attention as an effective treatment for depression. However, the effectiveness of Behavioral Activation Group Therapy (BAGT) in controlled conditions compared to its self-help programs requires more investigation. The present study aimed to compare their effectiveness on depressive symptoms, repetitive negative thinking (RNT), and performance in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). Methods In this randomized clinical trial, 40 patients diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) were recruited based on a structured clinical interview for DSM-5 (SCID-5). Participants were allocated to BAGT (n = 20) and self-help behavioral activation (SBA; n = 20) groups. BAGT received ten weekly sessions (90 min), while the SBA group followed the same protocol as the self-help intervention. Participants were evaluated at pre-treatment, post-treatment, and the 2-month follow-up using the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), repetitive thinking questionnaire (RTQ-31), and work and social adjustment scale (WSAS). Results The results of a Mixed ANOVA analysis revealed that participants who underwent BAGT showed significant improvement in depression, rumination, work, and social functioning post-treatment and at the 2-month follow-up. However, the SBA group did not show significant changes in any outcome. The study also found that, based on clinical significance, 68% of the BAGT participants were responsive to treatment, and 31% achieved a high final performance status at the 2-month follow-up. Discussion BAGT was more effective than SBA in MDD patients. Participants’ engagement with self-help treatment is discussed. Trial registration The present trial has been registered in the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials Center (IRCT ID: IRCT20181128041782N1|| http://www.irct.ir/) (Registration Date: 04/03/2019).
