High prevalence of smartphone addiction among medical students may contribute to adverse physical and mental health outcomes.
To estimate the prevalence of smartphone addiction, and explore the influencing factors and related mental health symptoms of smartphone addiction among Asian medical students.
Systematic review and meta-analysis.
PubMed (MEDLINE), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and EMBASE were searched for relevant literature from the inception to September 10, 2021. Using Stata software 11.0, the meta-analysis of prevalence and the influencing factors of smartphone addiction were determined with 95% confidence intervals.
Nineteen articles, published between 2014 and 2019, were included, producing medical student studies from seven different Asian countries. The included studies were conducted in India ( = 11) and Malaysia ( = 3), with China, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Nepal, and Iran each contributing one study. Among a total of 5,497 medical students, the participants included 3,214 females, of whom 2,181 were medical students with smartphone addiction. The prevalence of smartphone addiction among Asian medical students was 41.93% (95% CI [36.24%, 47.72%]). The influencing factors of smartphone addiction among medical students included gender, duration of smartphone use, smartphone function, and marital status. Ten studies (52.63%) explored related mental health symptoms of smartphone addiction among Asian medical students. Smartphone addiction was positively correlated with poor sleep quality ( = .17-.31), stress ( = .30-.40), anxiety, depression, neuroticism, and general health among Asian medical students.
Smartphone addiction is highly prevalent among Asian medical students. Smartphone addiction may adversely affect mental health, resulting in sleep disturbance, stress, anxiety, depression, and neuroticism. It is necessary to take appropriate precautionary actions and interventions to prevent smartphone overuse among medical students.
医学生智能手机成瘾的高发率可能导致不良的身心健康后果。
估计智能手机成瘾的流行率，并探讨亚洲医学生智能手机成瘾的影响因素及相关心理健康症状。
系统评价和荟萃分析。
从建库至 2021 年 9 月 10 日，检索 PubMed（MEDLINE）、Cochrane 中心对照试验注册库和 EMBASE 中的相关文献。使用 Stata 软件 11.0，以 95%置信区间确定智能手机成瘾流行率和影响因素的荟萃分析。
纳入了 19 篇发表于 2014 年至 2019 年的文献，来自亚洲七个不同国家的医学生研究。纳入的研究在印度（ = 11）和马来西亚（ = 3）进行，中国、沙特阿拉伯、土耳其、尼泊尔和伊朗各有一项研究。在总共 5497 名医学生中，参与者包括 3214 名女性，其中 2181 名为有智能手机成瘾的医学生。亚洲医学生智能手机成瘾的流行率为 41.93%（95%CI [36.24%，47.72%]）。医学生智能手机成瘾的影响因素包括性别、智能手机使用时间、智能手机功能和婚姻状况。有 10 项研究（52.63%）探讨了亚洲医学生智能手机成瘾的相关心理健康症状。智能手机成瘾与睡眠质量差（ = .17-.31）、压力（ = .30-.40）、焦虑、抑郁、神经质和一般健康状况呈正相关。
亚洲医学生中智能手机成瘾的发生率很高。智能手机成瘾可能对心理健康产生不利影响，导致睡眠障碍、压力、焦虑、抑郁和神经质。有必要采取适当的预防措施和干预措施，防止医学生过度使用智能手机。
