As smartphone addiction has been linked to poor mental health and lower levels of physical activity, it is of public health interest to explore the behavior behind problematic smartphone use and develop interventions to reduce smartphone use. This study aimed to investigate the risk of smartphone addiction and examine perceived problematic smartphone behavior among university college students. This online survey conducted amongst 1251 Danish University College students studied smartphone addiction in conjunction with physical- and mental health dimensions. The risk of smartphone addiction was estimated using the ). The main results are presented as odds ratios from multivariate logistic regressions. One in four (23%) were at high risk of smartphone addiction. Of this high-risk group, 74% identified their smartphone behavior as problematic, with 91% having considered reducing their smartphone use. Students with a high risk of smartphone addiction perceiving their behavior as problematic were more likely to report low mental health and well-being. In conclusion, students at high risk of smartphone addiction acknowledge their problematic behavior and have actively considered behavior modifications. This knowledge can enable teachers, parents, and social and health workers to understand that a majority of heavy smartphone users are open to reducing their smartphone usage, albeit with the appropriate support.
由于智能手机成瘾与心理健康不佳和身体活动水平较低有关，探索问题性智能手机使用背后的行为并制定减少智能手机使用的干预措施具有公共卫生意义。本研究旨在调查大学生智能手机成瘾的风险，并审视他们所感知到的问题性智能手机行为。这项对1251名丹麦大学生进行的在线调查，结合身心健康维度研究了智能手机成瘾情况。使用（此处原文缺失具体评估方法）来估计智能手机成瘾的风险。主要结果以多变量逻辑回归的优势比呈现。四分之一（23%）的学生处于智能手机成瘾的高风险中。在这个高风险群体中，74%的人认为自己的智能手机行为存在问题，其中91%的人曾考虑减少智能手机使用。认为自己行为存在问题的智能手机成瘾高风险学生更有可能报告心理健康状况不佳。总之，智能手机成瘾高风险的学生承认自己的问题行为，并已积极考虑改变行为。这些知识能让教师、家长以及社会和卫生工作者明白，大多数重度智能手机用户愿意减少智能手机使用量，不过需要适当的支持。
