It includes a Likert scale with ten questions. The sample was collected by combining convenience and snowball sampling approaches. The difference in proportion was assessed using frequency and percentage. The Chi Square test of proportion was used to the data to examine and a p value <0.05 was considered as the proportional difference. Results The study comprised 461 participants, with 155 (33.6%) men and 306 (66.4%) women, having an average age of 23.13 ± 4.95 years. Among the participants, a significant proportion (119, 25.8%) were dental interns.

Approximately 52.5% acknowledged the influence of Instagram ® on their dressing, behaviour, and usage of other social media platforms (p<0.01). Moreover, 52.1% experienced common distractions while performing important tasks, and 40.6% reported negative effects on their mental and emotional well-being (p<0.05).

“…This may be aggravated when there is the existence of other influences such as anxiety or anguish, which were not part of this analysis. Even the excessive use of technology can cause variations in sleep patterns, as cited (Shimray & Ramaiah, 2019). However, this was not straight established in our study, but it is reflected that it can be further studied in upcoming work.…”

Contrary to what was expected, there was no substantial connection was found among the devices and the instruments used.…”

“…They also allow strengthening the communication with core ties and promote day-to-day coordination and safety (Marler, 2018). Therefore, disadvantaged populations use smartphones to get online for the first time and mobile-only use represents an access opportunity for them (Ensley, 2005; Pearce and Rice, 2013; Shimray and Ramaiah, 2019). However, there is a consensus that the digital inclusion is a multidimensional process to achieve a meaningful and effective use of the potentialities of the web (e.g.…”

Public policies across the world are tackling Internet access inequality through mobile connections, which has led to an increase in mobile-only use. However, digital skills remain as a stumbling block to achieve digital inclusion. Using a two-wave panel survey on a representative sample conducted in Chile between 2018 and 2020, this study investigates how different mode of access (i.e. mobile-only vs mobile and computer) affects digital abilities over time. Results show significant differences in skills by mode of access. People who became hybrid users (mobile and computer) by wave 2 significantly gained skills while those who were hybrid and became mobile-only by wave 2 significantly lost abilities. People who did not change their type of access did not change their level of digital skills, despite the past of time and gained experience using the Internet. These conclusions show how mode of access may have a key effect on people’s digital inclusion.
