This study is a secondary analysis aimed at identifying risk factors for smartphone overuse among adolescents, utilizing data from the 18th Korea Youth Health Behavior Survey (KYHBS) conducted in 2022.
A total of 50,071 participants were included, with schools selected through a stratified proportional allocation method that considered factors such as city/province, city size, and school type. Students were excluded from the survey if they had long-term absences, were special needs children unable to participate in the survey, or had reading disabilities. The survey encompassed students from the first year of middle school to the third year of high school across 800 schools nationwide.
Several factors were significantly associated with increased smartphone screen time, including gender, education level, academic performance, economic condition, BMI, self-reported health, feelings of aloneness, insufficient sleep, breakfast consumption, fast food intake frequency, late-night meals, physical activity, current smoking, current alcohol consumption, and sexual experience.
These results underscore the complex interplay of various factors shaping adolescents' smartphone use patterns. Recognizing and addressing these factors is crucial for developing targeted interventions aimed at promoting healthier screen habits and mitigating the negative impacts of excessive smartphone use among adolescents. These findings underscore the complex interplay of various demographic, behavioral, and health-related factors that contribute to adolescents' smartphone use patterns.
本研究是一项二次分析，旨在利用2022年进行的第18次韩国青少年健康行为调查（KYHBS）的数据，确定青少年智能手机过度使用的风险因素。
共纳入50071名参与者，学校通过分层比例分配法选取，该方法考虑了城市/省份、城市规模和学校类型等因素。如果学生长期缺勤、是无法参加调查的特殊需求儿童或有阅读障碍，则被排除在调查之外。该调查涵盖了全国800所学校中从初中一年级到高中三年级的学生。
几个因素与智能手机屏幕使用时间增加显著相关，包括性别、教育水平、学业成绩、经济状况、体重指数体重指数（BMI）、自我报告的健康状况、孤独感、睡眠不足、早餐摄入情况、快餐摄入频率、晚餐时间、体育活动、当前吸烟状况、当前饮酒情况和性经历。
这些结果强调了影响青少年智能手机使用模式的各种因素之间复杂的相互作用。认识并解决这些因素对于制定有针对性的干预措施至关重要，这些措施旨在促进更健康的屏幕使用习惯，并减轻青少年过度使用智能手机的负面影响。这些发现强调了各种人口统计学、行为和健康相关因素之间复杂的相互作用，这些因素导致了青少年的智能手机使用模式。
