Children's mobile device (e.g., smartphone, tablet) access and ownership has grown substantially in the past decade. Concerns exist regarding excessive use and the impact of frequent consumption of mobile media on children's health and well‐being. We review the literature on the harmful physical health correlates of excessive mobile device use during childhood and adolescence. Strongest evidence emerged regarding the impact of excessive mobile device use and sleep outcomes. Mixed evidence emerged regarding excessive use of mobile devices and physical activity and obesity. Too few studies were identified to draw conclusions about mobile device use and the following health concerns in children: musculoskeletal outcomes/pain, ocular health, and migraine/headaches. Recommendations for future research on the association between excessive mobile device use and children's physical health outcomes (particularly investigations into the experience of musculoskeletal pain/discomfort, ocular symptoms, and neurological symptoms) are discussed.

“…Studies support these results and demonstrate that there is a significant correlation between the mental health and Internet usage (Choi, Park, & Cha, ; Lai et al, ; Ying & Zhang, ). In the previous studies, excessive Internet use of adolescents was found to be associated with depression (Ho et al, ), hostility (Alpaslan, Avcı, Soylu & Guzel, ), anxiety (Ho et al, ), somatization (Cerutti, Presaghi, Spensieri, Valastro, & Guidetti, ), attention‐deficit hyperactivity disorder (Yen, Ko, Yen, Wu, & Yang, ), and suicidal ideation (Alpaslan et al, ; I. H. Lin et al, ). Messias, Castro, Saini, Usman, and Peeples () found that the sadness, suicidal ideation, and suicide attempts of young people were significantly higher in adolescents who played Internet or video games for 5 hr or more in a day.…”

Problem An important environmental factor affecting adolescents today is undoubtedly technological tools. This descriptive and cross‐sectional study was conducted to evaluate the relationship of adolescents’ Internet and mobile phone usage, cyberbullying behaviors, and their self‐reported mental health. Methods The sample of the study consisted of a total of 426 students including 215 male students and 211 female students. A questionnaire was prepared by the researcher to determine the sociodemographic and personal characteristics and virtual behavioral characteristics of individuals. The Brief Symptom Inventory was used to determine the participants’ mental status. Findings It was found that adolescents’ daily Internet usage duration, Internet usage purpose, the place where they use Internet, cyberbullying, and exposure to cyberbullying were related to the adolescents’ self‐reported mental health (p < .05). Conclusion Several aspects of the virtual behaviors of the adolescents were associated with their sense of mental health issues. In this context, the school health nurse should raise awareness among adolescents about the use of technology and how it might impact their mental wellbeing.

Purpose To compare mobile phone addiction (MPA) patterns between Tibetan and Han adolescents in China. Design and Methods The study was carried out in two provinces of China. The Mobile Phone Addiction Scale (MPAS) was used to assess MPA. Findings Seven hundred and five Tibetan and 606 Han students participated in the study. The MPAS total score was 24.4 ± 11.4 in the whole sample; 27.3 ± 10.8 and 20.9 ± 11.2 in Tibetan and Han students, respectively. Quality of life (QOL) in the physical, psychological, social, and environmental domains was negatively associated with MPA. Practice Implications Compared with Han students, Tibetan students were found to have more severe MPA. Given its negative impact on QOL, appropriate measures for the prevention of MPA should be developed, particularly for Tibetan middle school students.
