BACKGROUND
Smartphone plays a vital role in higher education as it serves as a device with multiple functions. Smartphone addiction was reported on the rise among college and university students. The addiction may result in unwanted consequences on their academic performance and psychological health. One factor that consistently relates to psychological distress and smartphone addiction is the neurotic personality trait. This study explored the relationship of smartphone addiction with psychological health and neuroticism among USM medical students.
METHODS
A cross-sectional study was carried out on medical students in a public medical school. DASS-21, the neuroticism-subscale of USMaP-i and SAS-SV were administered to measure psychological distress, neuroticism, and smartphone addiction of the medical students. Spearman correlation was performed to examine the correlation between smartphone addiction with psychological distress and neuroticism. Simple linear regression was performed to investigate relationship factors of smartphone addiction.
RESULTS
A total of 574 medical students participated in this study. The prevalence of smartphone addiction was 40.6%. It was higher among male (49.2%) compared to female (36.6%) medical students. The result showed a fair positive correlation between smartphone addiction and psychological health (rdepression = 0.277, p-value < 0.001; ranxiety = 0.312, p-value < 0.001; rstress = 0.329, p-value < 0.001). However, there was a poor positive correlation between smartphone addiction and neuroticism (r = 0.173, p-value < 0.001). The simple linear regression showed a significant increase in the levels of depression, anxiety, stress and neuroticism upon one unit increase in smartphone addiction (bdepression = 0.101, p-value < 0.001; banxiety = 0.120, p-value < 0.001; bstress = 0.132, p-value < 0.001; bneuroticism = 0.404, p-value < 0.05). These results indicated significant relationships between smartphone addiction, psychological health and neuroticism.
CONCLUSION
This study suggested a high prevalence of smartphone addiction among medical students, particularly in male medical students. The smartphone addiction might lead to psychological problems and the most vulnerable group is the medical student with the neurotic personality trait.
背景
智能手机在高等教育中起着至关重要的作用，它是一种具有多种功能的设备。有报道称，大学生和大学生的智能手机成瘾率正在上升。这种成瘾可能会对他们的学业成绩和心理健康产生不良后果。一个与心理困扰和智能手机成瘾一直相关的因素是神经质人格特质。本研究探讨了 USM 医学生智能手机成瘾与心理健康和神经质的关系。
方法
对一所公立医学院的医学生进行横断面研究。采用 DASS-21、USMaP-i 的神经质分量表和 SAS-SV 来衡量医学生的心理困扰、神经质和智能手机成瘾。采用 Spearman 相关分析来检验智能手机成瘾与心理困扰和神经质之间的相关性。采用简单线性回归来探讨智能手机成瘾的相关因素。
结果
共有 574 名医学生参与了这项研究。智能手机成瘾的患病率为 40.6%。与女性（36.6%）相比，男性（49.2%）医学生的智能手机成瘾患病率更高。结果表明，智能手机成瘾与心理健康呈适度正相关（抑郁：rdepression=0.277，p 值<0.001；焦虑：ranxiety=0.312，p 值<0.001；压力：rstress=0.329，p 值<0.001）。然而，智能手机成瘾与神经质呈较差的正相关（r=0.173，p 值<0.001）。简单线性回归显示，智能手机成瘾每增加一个单位，抑郁、焦虑、压力和神经质水平显著增加（bdepression=0.101，p 值<0.001；banxiety=0.120，p 值<0.001；bstress=0.132，p 值<0.001；bneuroticism=0.404，p 值<0.05）。这些结果表明智能手机成瘾、心理健康和神经质之间存在显著关系。
结论
本研究表明，医学生中智能手机成瘾的患病率较高，尤其是男医学生。智能手机成瘾可能导致心理问题，而最脆弱的群体是具有神经质人格特质的医学生。
