Smartphones are now an important gadget for us, but the many are getting addicted to it. Researchers showed that smartphone addiction and late-night usage affects sleep quality. Indian nurses are already facing a heavy burden of depression and present position of nurses is quite insecure. Very few studies were performed over nursing students and that leads to the selection of this topic for my research.
It was a cross-sectional, observational, and questionnaire-based study, performed over B.Sc. Nursing students of University College of Nursing, WBUHS. The questionnaire has three parts. The first part was for sociodemographic variables, the second part measures the addictive phenomena associated with smartphone overuse using a Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS), the last part was intended to measure the sleep quality by using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Collected data was compiled and analyzed with the help of MS-Excel from Microsoft Office Package-2016.
Out of 91 students, 46 students were found to be not addicted, while 45 were addicted to smartphone, as measured by SAS. On PSQI, 17.58% students were found to be good sleepers, while 82.42% came out to be poor sleepers. Significant association was found between age and smartphone addiction (p=0.000031) and between daily calls and sleep quality (p=0.025333).
It can be finally concluded that increase in smartphone usage is now a serious matter of concern and lower age groups are more susceptible towards it. Broad-spectrum studies involving multiple institutions is needed to reveal the bigger picture.
智能手机如今对我们来说是一种重要的设备，但许多人对其成瘾。研究人员表明，智能手机成瘾和深夜使用会影响睡眠质量。印度护士已经面临着沉重的抑郁症负担，而且护士的现状相当不稳定。针对护理专业学生的研究很少，这促使我选择这个主题进行研究。
这是一项基于问卷调查的横断面观察性研究，对象为西孟加拉邦大学护理学院的护理学学士学生。问卷有三个部分。第一部分是关于社会人口统计学变量，第二部分使用智能手机成瘾量表（SAS）测量与智能手机过度使用相关的成瘾现象，最后一部分旨在使用匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）测量睡眠质量。收集到的数据借助微软办公软件包2016中的MS-Excel进行整理和分析。
根据SAS测量，在91名学生中，46名学生未成瘾，45名学生对智能手机成瘾。在PSQI方面，17.58%的学生睡眠良好，而82.42%的学生睡眠不佳。研究发现年龄与智能手机成瘾之间存在显著关联（p = 0.000031），每日通话次数与睡眠质量之间也存在显著关联（p = 0.025333）。
最终可以得出结论，智能手机使用的增加如今是一个令人严重关切的问题，较低年龄组更容易受到影响。需要开展涉及多个机构的广泛研究以揭示全貌。
