The past decade has witnessed a revolution in smartphones owing to their growing importance and various applications. However, excessive usage can lead to addiction and joint pain in the wrist/thumb area. Despite these negative effects, smartphones offer medical students access to the resources they need.
To determine the association between smartphone addiction and thumb/wrist pain among undergraduate students of Jazan University.
A cross-sectional self-administrated, online survey and online convenience sample technique was used. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS Software.
This survey included 337 participants, of which two-thirds were female (66.8%) and the rest male (33.2%); 32.6% of the respondents were studying in the College of Medicine. Of the 337 participants, 32% reported experiencing pain in their wrists or at the back of their neck while using a smartphone. The study found an average Smartphone Addition Scale-Short Version (SAS-SV) score of 32.5 ± 8.0 out of 50 and a total Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation score of 48.8 ± 14.7, with a pain score of 13.3 ± 11.0 and a function score of 35.5 ± 11.7. The study also revealed a significant association between smartphone addiction and thumb/wrist pain ( value = 0.029), with females and students of the College of Applied Medical Science associated with higher SAS-SV scores, thereby indicating higher smartphone addiction.
Significant correlation exists between smartphone addiction and thumb/wirst pain among medical students of Jazan University.
在过去十年中，智能手机因其日益增长的重要性和各种应用而经历了一场变革。然而，过度使用可能导致成瘾以及手腕/拇指部位的关节疼痛。尽管存在这些负面影响，但智能手机为医学生提供了获取所需资源的途径。
确定吉赞大学本科生中智能手机成瘾与拇指/手腕疼痛之间的关联。
采用横断面自我管理的在线调查和在线便利抽样技术。使用SPSS软件对收集的数据进行分析。
本次调查包括337名参与者，其中三分之二为女性（66.8%），其余为男性（33.2%）；32.6%的受访者在医学院学习。在337名参与者中，32%报告在使用智能手机时手腕或颈部后方疼痛。研究发现智能手机成瘾量表简版（SAS-SV）平均得分为32.5±8.0（满分50分），患者自评手腕评估总分为48.8±14.7，疼痛评分为13.3±11.0，功能评分为35.5±11.7。该研究还揭示了智能手机成瘾与拇指/手腕疼痛之间存在显著关联（ 值=0.029），应用医学科学学院的女性和学生的SAS-SV得分较高，从而表明智能手机成瘾程度较高。
吉赞大学医学生中智能手机成瘾与拇指/手腕疼痛之间存在显著相关性。
