“…Selang kurun waktu terakhir, penelitian lebih terfokus pada aspek psikologis penggunaan teknologi, dikaitkan dengan hasil fisiologis. Hal ini merupakan fenomena baru yang menekankan pada implikasi otak dan tubuh dalam penggunaan teknologi pada anak usia dini dan orang dewasa (Afifi, Zamanzadeh, Harrison, & Acevedo Callejas, 2018). Selama beberapa tahun terakhir pula terjadi proliferasi penelitian yang mengeksplorasi hubungan potensial antara aspek perkembangan emosional/mental dan penggunaan teknologi pada anak, meskipun basis pengetahuan khusus tentang bagaimana anak-anak di bawah usia 8 tahun menggunakan teknologi adalah relatif jarang (Gottschalk, 2019).…”

Generasi abad ke-21 merupakan pengguna teknologi lebih banyak daripada generasi masa lalu. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui bagaimana orang tua di era milenial mendampingi penggunaan gadget pada anak. Responden berjumlah 254 orang tua anak (berusia 2-7 tahun) di Kota Pekanbaru. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode survey dengan pendekatan statistik deksriptif. Teknik analisis data menyajikan tabel dan grafik. Secara keseluruhan hasil penelitian menunjukkan 40% anak mengamuk jika tidak diberikan gadget. Kondisi ini memperlihatkan ketergantungan anak terhadap gadget yang cukup tinggi. Sedangkan tujuan Ayah/Bunda memberikan gadget pada anak didapatkan persentase sebesar 22% supaya anak lebih pintar, 21% agar anak tidak rewel, sedangkan terbanyak lain-lain sebesar 34%. Tujuan orang tua memberikan gadget pada dasarnya positif, yakni ingin anak mendapatkan manfaat dari teknologi, namun harus dibarengi dengan aturan yang jelas untuk mengurangi dampak negatifnya. Dengan demikian, penting untuk memahami penggunaan teknologi bagi perkembangan otak dan tubuh anak dengan panduan kebijakan penggunaan yang aman dan efektif.

“…These mixed findings concerning how phone use influences stress underscore the fact that the ways in which we commonly interact with our devices are not universally beneficial for stress recovery. In fact, when looked at more broadly, greater use of smartphones is associated with higher levels of physiological stress [21]. Therefore, if we hope to highlight the most effective ways to use a phone to reduce stress, it may be important to go beyond natural phone use habits and, instead, provide structured apps that are specifically designed for stress reduction.…”

BackgroundSmartphones are often vilified for negatively influencing well-being and contributing to stress. However, these devices may, in fact, be useful in times of stress and, in particular, aid in stress recovery. Mobile apps that deliver evidence-based techniques for stress reduction, such as heart rate variability biofeedback (HRVB) training, hold promise as convenient, accessible, and effective stress-reducing tools. Numerous mobile health apps that may potentially aid in stress recovery are available, but very few have demonstrated that they can influence health-related physiological stress parameters (eg, salivary biomarkers of stress). The ability to recover swiftly from stress and reduce physiological arousal is particularly important for long-term health, and thus, it is imperative that evidence is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of stress-reducing mobile health apps in this context.ObjectiveThe purpose of this research was to investigate the physiological and psychological effects of using a smartphone app for HRVB training following a stressful experience. The efficacy of the gamified Breather component of the Happify mobile health app was examined in an experimental setting.MethodsIn this study, participants (N=140) underwent a laboratory stressor and were randomly assigned to recover in one of three ways: with no phone present, with a phone present, with the HRBV game. Those in the no phone condition had no access to their phone. Those in the phone present condition had their phone but did not use it. Those in the HRVB game condition used the serious game Breather on the Happify app. Stress recovery was assessed via repeated measures of salivary alpha amylase, cortisol, and self-reported acute stress (on a 1-100 scale).ResultsParticipants in the HRVB game condition had significantly lower levels of salivary alpha amylase during recovery than participants in the other conditions (F2,133=3.78, P=.03). There were no significant differences among the conditions during recovery for salivary cortisol levels or self-reported stress.ConclusionsThese results show that engaging in a brief HRVB training session on a smartphone reduces levels of salivary alpha amylase following a stressful experience, providing preliminary evidence for the effectiveness of Breather in improving physiological stress recovery. Given the known ties between stress recovery and future well-being, this study provides a possible mechanism by which gamified biofeedback apps may lead to better health.

“…For the physiological measures of stress, each day participants will passively droll into a small vial they will be provided with. Following best practice in saliva collection and analysis (1,31), samples will be collected immediately upon waking in the morning before feet touch the floor, 30 minutes after waking, at noon (before lunch), and right before bedtime. Participants will be instructed how to freeze their saliva samples.…”

“…Combining biomarkers of stress (cortisol and alpha amylase) with psychological measures, the objective of this study is to determine how an abstinence from social media use affects the wellbeing of working professionals. This proposed study will focus on working professionals as they are a population who are heavily dependent on social media for work, family, and leisure activities, yet are understudied in terms of the resulting health implications (1).…”

Does a Social Media Abstinence Really Reduce Stress? A Research-in-Progress Study Using Salivary Biomarkers

There is much scientific evidence in recent years indicating that our 'always on' culture powered by platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter, and WhatsApp, is leading to negative health outcomes, particularly stress. To mitigate social media induced stress, people are being advised to abstain from using social media for a period of time. However, the effectiveness of such breaks is open to question. As many people are heavily dependent on social media, the inability to access these platforms for a period of time could actually create stress and anxiety. To determine if and how social media abstinence relates to stress, this project will investigate the role of passion as a mediating variable. Stress will be measured using a combination of the salivary biomarkers cortisol and alpha amylase, with psychological scales. Ultimately, this study aims to determine the boundary conditions under which an abstinence from social media use will either increase or decrease stress levels in working professionals.
