Background Smartphones are Internet-accessible devices that everyone can use in any setting, and their popularity is growing. However, the pervasiveness of smartphone technology has raised concerns owing to its addictive effect among adolescents and its association with sleep quality and mental and physical health issues. Objectives This study aimed to determine the effect of smartphone addiction on sleep quality among secondary high schools in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. Methods The study was conducted on high school students in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, using an analytical cross-sectional design, from January 2023 to August 2023. The study used a multistage stratified random sampling technique to select participants. The data were collected from an online self-administered survey and analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows (IBM Corp., Armonk, New York, United States). Results This study included 373 respondents. Among those, males represent two-thirds of the study population (66%), while females are 34%. The median age of the participants is 16 years old, and the interquartile range (IQR) is 6. Our results show that the median number of hours spent on mobile phones is six per day, and the IQR is 5. Furthermore, our findings reveal that the mean Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version (SAS-SV) score is 38.5 ± 10.8 out of 60, and the average global PSQI score is 6.63 ± 3.03 out of 21. The results show that the study participants have problems using smartphones longer than they intended, constantly checking them, and missing planned works due to smartphone use. There is a positive correlation between smartphone addiction and sleep quality ( = 0.261; < 0.001), indicating that the respondents have worse sleep quality when smartphone addiction and the global PSQI increased. Conclusion Our study concluded that high school students in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, have high smartphone addiction. Moreover, high smartphone addiction is significantly associated with poor sleep quality. This study can help with the development of measures to improve better sleep quality among high school students.
背景 智能手机是人人都能在任何场景下使用的可联网设备，且其受欢迎程度与日俱增。然而，智能手机技术的普及引发了人们的担忧，因为它对青少年具有成瘾性，还与睡眠质量以及身心健康问题相关联。目的 本研究旨在确定沙特阿拉伯麦加市高中生的智能手机成瘾对睡眠质量的影响。方法 本研究于2023年1月至2023年8月在沙特阿拉伯麦加市的高中生中开展，采用分析性横断面设计。研究使用多阶段分层随机抽样技术选取参与者。数据通过在线自填式调查问卷收集，并使用IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows（美国纽约州阿蒙克市IBM公司）进行分析。结果 本研究纳入了373名受访者。其中，男性占研究人群的三分之二（66%），女性占34%。参与者的年龄中位数为16岁，四分位间距（IQR）为6。我们的结果显示，每天花在手机上的小时数中位数为6，IQR为5。此外，我们的研究结果表明，智能手机成瘾量表简版（SAS-SV）的平均得分在满分60分中为38.5 ± 10.8，全球匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）的平均得分在满分21分中为6.63 ± 3.03。结果表明，研究参与者存在使用智能手机时间超过预期、不断查看手机以及因使用智能手机而错过计划中的工作等问题。智能手机成瘾与睡眠质量之间存在正相关（ = 0.261； < 0.001），这表明当智能手机成瘾程度和全球PSQI得分增加时，受访者的睡眠质量更差。结论 我们的研究得出结论，沙特阿拉伯麦加市的高中生智能手机成瘾程度较高。此外，高智能手机成瘾程度与睡眠质量差显著相关。本研究有助于制定措施以改善高中生的睡眠质量。
