COVID-19 pandemic-related perceived risk of infection, illness fears, acute stress, emotional anxiety, exhaustion, and fatigue, psychological trauma and depressive symptoms, and sustained psychological distress can cause smartphone addiction risk and lead to technology-related cognitive, emotional, and behavioral disorders, thus impacting psychological well-being. Behavioral addiction of smartphone users can result in anxiety symptom severity, psychiatric symptoms, and depressive stress. We carried out a quantitative literature review of the Web of Science, Scopus, and ProQuest throughout June 2022, with search terms including "smartphone addiction + COVID-19" + "stress," "anxiety," "depression," "psychological distress," "screen time," and "fear." As we analyzed only articles published between 2020 and 2022, 288 papers met the eligibility criteria. By excluding sources with similar titles, having unclear findings or unsupported by replication, or displaying inconsistent content, we selected 64, mainly empirical, sources. We used layout algorithms (VOSviewer) and bibliometric mapping (Dimensions) as data visualization tools. Assessing the Methodological Quality of Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR), a systematic review and literature review software (Distiller SR), Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT), and Systematic Review Data Repository (SRDR) were employed as methodological quality assessment tools. As limitations, we analyzed only articles published between 2020 and 2022 in scholarly outlets indexed in the Web of Science, Scopus, and ProQuest databases. The scope of our study also does not advance the inspection of sources covering vulnerable individuals suffering from certain diseases or specific generations. Subsequent analyses should develop on smartphone use and addiction among children and adolescents. Future research should thus investigate problematic smartphone use and addiction across generations Z and Alpha. Attention should be directed to their personality traits and psychopathological symptoms.
与2019冠状病毒病大流行相关的感知感染风险、疾病恐惧、急性应激、情绪焦虑、疲惫和疲劳、心理创伤和抑郁症状，以及持续的心理困扰，可导致智能手机成瘾风险，并引发与技术相关的认知、情绪和行为障碍，从而影响心理健康。智能手机用户的行为成瘾会导致焦虑症状严重程度、精神症状和抑郁压力增加。2022年6月，我们对科学网、Scopus和ProQuest进行了定量文献综述，搜索词包括“智能手机成瘾+2019冠状病毒病”+“压力”“焦虑”“抑郁”“心理困扰”“屏幕使用时间”和“恐惧”。由于我们仅分析了2020年至2022年发表的文章，有288篇论文符合纳入标准。通过排除标题相似、结果不明确或无重复支持、内容不一致的来源，我们选择了64篇主要为实证性的来源。我们使用布局算法（VOSviewer）和文献计量映射（Dimensions）作为数据可视化工具。采用系统评价方法学质量评估（AMSTAR）、系统评价和文献综述软件（Distiller SR）、混合方法评估工具（MMAT）和系统评价数据存储库（SRDR）作为方法学质量评估工具。作为局限性，我们仅分析了科学网、Scopus和ProQuest数据库中索引的学术出版物在2020年至2022年期间发表的文章。我们的研究范围也未推进对涵盖患有某些疾病的弱势群体或特定代际人群的来源的考察。后续分析应围绕儿童和青少年的智能手机使用及成瘾情况展开。因此，未来的研究应调查Z世代和α世代人群中存在问题的智能手机使用及成瘾情况。应关注他们的人格特质和精神病理症状。
