To provide a systematic review on studies examining problematic smartphone (PSU) use in children and adolescents, and its impact on quality of life, life satisfaction, and well-being.
An extensive literature search was conducted in Google Scholar, Scopus and Pubmed.
The search yielded k = 9 articles for which inclusion criteria were met. Five studies examined health-related or overall quality of life, two assessed life satisfaction, and two evaluated well-being in relation to PSU. Negative associations between PSU and the outcome variables were reported almost consistently, with one study yielding only a trend for a negative correlation of PSU with life satisfaction, and one study finding no significant correlation regarding quality of life. Comparability between studies was impeded by the scarcity of studies which met inclusion criteria and by the use of different measures.
More research is needed regarding PSU and the outcome variables in children and adolescents. Also, a distinct and consistent theoretical conceptualisation of PSU is required to replicate findings, and to enhance comparability between studies. Based on the trend reported here, the development of customised, early on interventions for children and adolescents at risk of PSU is warranted.
对研究儿童和青少年智能手机使用问题及其对生活质量、生活满意度和幸福感影响的文献进行系统综述。
在 Google Scholar、Scopus 和 Pubmed 上进行了广泛的文献检索。
检索到符合纳入标准的 k=9 篇文章。其中 5 项研究考察了与健康相关或总体生活质量，2 项评估了生活满意度，2 项评估了与 PSU 相关的幸福感。报告称 PSU 与结局变量之间几乎始终存在负相关，一项研究仅显示 PSU 与生活满意度呈负相关的趋势，一项研究发现生活质量无显著相关性。由于符合纳入标准的研究较少，以及使用了不同的测量方法，研究之间的可比性受到阻碍。
需要更多关于儿童和青少年的 PSU 和结局变量的研究。此外，需要对 PSU 进行明确和一致的理论概念化，以复制研究结果并提高研究之间的可比性。基于这里报告的趋势，有必要为有 PSU 风险的儿童和青少年制定定制的早期干预措施。
