Smartphone addiction bodes adverse consequences, affecting different populations, including medical students. Parental bonding in childhood had been associated with addiction and recovery in later life. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the associations between parental bonding and smartphone addiction among Chinese medical students.
Binary logistic regressions were used to investigate the associations between parental bonding with mothers and fathers, respectively, and smartphone addiction. Interaction terms of care and protection were included in the models.
A total of 517 medical students were included in the study. The prevalence of smartphone addiction was 48.16% (n = 249). The estimated effects of maternal and paternal parenting on smartphone addiction differed. Maternal protection was positively associated with smartphone addiction (OR, 1.046;95% CI, 1.005-1.087), and maternal care enhanced the estimated effect of protection on smartphone addiction. Paternal care was negatively associated with smartphone addiction (OR, 0.954;95% CI, 0.919-0.989).
Chinese medical students with overprotective mothers or with indifferent fathers tended to exhibit traits of smartphone addiction. Further studies on factors influencing the associations between parental bonding and smartphone addiction may pave the way for potential family-oriented interventions for smartphone addiction.
智能手机成瘾预示着不良后果，影响到不同人群，包括医学生。童年时期的父母养育方式与成年后的成瘾和康复有关。因此，本研究旨在探讨中国医学生父母养育方式与智能手机成瘾之间的关系。
采用二元逻辑回归分析分别探讨母亲和父亲的养育方式与智能手机成瘾之间的关系。在模型中纳入了关怀和保护的交互项。
共有 517 名医学生纳入研究。智能手机成瘾的患病率为 48.16%（n=249）。母亲和父亲养育方式对智能手机成瘾的估计影响不同。母亲的保护与智能手机成瘾呈正相关（OR，1.046；95%CI，1.005-1.087），而母亲的关怀增强了保护对智能手机成瘾的估计效果。父亲的关怀与智能手机成瘾呈负相关（OR，0.954；95%CI，0.919-0.989）。
中国医学生中，母亲过度保护或父亲冷漠的学生更容易表现出智能手机成瘾的特征。进一步研究影响父母养育方式与智能手机成瘾之间关系的因素，可能为针对智能手机成瘾的潜在家庭干预措施铺平道路。
