“…Although these results were concluded from descriptive analyses but not statistical inferences, it could be supported by other researches. Among Korean middle school students, the order of the usage types with the highest in uence on smartphone addiction was: enjoying music/videos, social network service, and study [25]. A large-scale cross-sectional study suggested that social media and video games was related to the symptoms of psychiatric disorders, including anxiety and depression [26].…”

Background: Previous studies indicated that excessive engagement in digital devices could lead to negative psychological impacts in general population. The present study aimed to determine the effects of electronic screen exposure on depression among women in early pregnancy. Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted from June 2021 to June 2022. A total of 665 women in early pregnancy were recruited and the information included socio-demographic characteristics, screen exposure and Patient Health Questionnaire -9 depression scale. Results: Among the women in early pregnancy, the total daily smartphone viewing time was the longest (median [P25-P75], 5 [3-6] hours/day) in the three types of electronic screen exposure. The total daily smartphone viewing time (Z=-2.239, P=0.025), smartphone (Z=-2.494, P=0.013) and television viewing time (Z=-2.640, P=0.008) before nocturnal sleep were significantly associated with depression among women in early pregnancy. The thresholds calculated by receiver operator characteristic curves were 7.5 hours/day, 1.5 hours/day and 1.5 hours/day, respectively. In addition, women with higher scores of smartphone addiction were more susceptible to depression (Z=-6.201, P＜0.001). The top three smartphone usages in women with depression were watching videos (22.0%), listening to music (20.9%) and playing games (16.7%). Conclusions:In conclusion, electronic screen exposure, including screen viewing time, smartphone addiction and problematic smartphone use was associated with depression among women in early pregnancy. Further studies are warranted to verify the conclusions.

Background Excessive smartphone use is a new and debated phenomenon frequently mentioned in the context of behavioral addiction, showing both shared and distinct traits when compared to pathological gaming and gambling. Objective The aim of this study is to describe excessive smartphone use and associated factors among adolescents, focusing on comparisons between boys and girls. Methods This study was based on data collected through a large-scale public health survey distributed in 2016 to pupils in the 9th grade of primary school and those in the 2nd grade of secondary school. Bayesian binomial regression models, with weakly informative priors, were used to examine whether the frequency of associated factors differed between those who reported excessive smartphone use and those who did not. Results The overall response rate was 77% (9143/11,868) among 9th grade pupils and 73.4% (7949/10,832) among 2nd grade pupils, resulting in a total of 17,092 responses. Based on the estimated median absolute percentage differences, along with associated odds ratios, we found that excessive smartphone use was associated with the use of cigarettes, alcohol, and other substances. The reporting of anxiety and worry along with feeling low more than once a week consistently increased the odds of excessive smartphone use among girls, whereas anxiety and worry elevated the odds of excessive smartphone use among boys. The reporting of less than 7 hours of sleep per night was associated with excessive smartphone use in all 4 study groups. Conclusions The results varied across gender and grade in terms of robustness and the size of estimated difference. However, excessive smartphone use was associated with a higher frequency of multiple suspected associated factors, including ever having tried smoking, alcohol, or other substances; poor sleep; and often feeling low and feeling anxious. This study sheds light on some features and distinctions of a potentially problematic behavior among adolescents.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to describe excessive smartphone use and associated factors in adolescents focusing on comparisons between boys and girls. METHODS This study was based on data collected through a public health survey distributed in 2016 to pupils in 9th grade of primary school and in 2th grade of secondary school. The response rate was 77% in 9th grade and 73% in 2nd grade. In total 13498 participants were included RESULTS Excessive smartphone use was associated with the experience of both cigarettes, alcohol and other substances. The reporting of both anxiety/worries and feeling low more than once a week increased the probability of excessive smartphone use among girls consistently while anxiety/worries elevated the probability of excessive smartphone use among boys. The reporting of less than 7 hours of sleep per night was associated to excessive smartphone use in all four study groups. CONCLUSIONS The results varied across sex and grade in terms of robustness and size of the estimated difference. However excessive smartphone use was associated with a higher frequency of multiple suspected associated factors, including ever having tried smoking, alcohol, and other substances, poor sleep, and often feeling low and often feeling anxious. The current study brings light to some features and distinctions of a potentially problematic behaviour among adolescents of today.
