Abstract

Purpose: The rising prevalence of smartphone overdependence among adolescents and its detrimental impact on mental health have become a growing concern. This study aimed to investigate the association between smartphone overdependence and the mental health of Korean adolescents.

Methods: Participants were drawn from the 16th Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey conducted in 2020. The dependent variable as smartphone overdependence, while the main exposure of interest was mental health, encompassing generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), perceived stress, sources of perceived stress, perceived loneliness, and perceived depressive symptoms. The study employed the Rao-Scott chi-square test and multiple logistic regression using IBM SPSS version 26.0.

Results: The participants comprised 54,948 adolescents aged 13 to 18 years. Among them, 25.1% (n=13,775) were categorized as smartphone overdependence group. Specifically, 20.3% of adolescents who reported GAD ≥10 and 22.5% of those who reported experiencing high levels of perceived loneliness were identified as smartphone overdependent. The GAD increased a risk of smartphone overdependence by 2.61 times (95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 2.46-2.77). Perceived loneliness was associated with 1.98-fold (95% CI: 1.87-2.09) increased risk of smartphone overdependence. Additionally, conflict with peers was found to increase the risk of smartphone overdependence by 4.63-fold (95% CI: 3.89-5.52), followed by conflict with parents (odds ratio [OR]: 4.52, 95% CI: 3.84-5.31), and family environment (OR: 4.52, 95% CI: 3.75-5.46).

Conclusion: The findings underscore a significant association between smartphone overdependence and mental health in Korean adolescents. Healthcare services to improve their emotional coping and interpersonal skills are necessary.

目的:青少年对智能手机的过度依赖及其对心理健康的不利影响日益引起人们的关注。本研究旨在调查韩国青少年过度依赖智能手机与心理健康之间的关系:研究对象来自 2020 年进行的第 16 次韩国青少年危险行为网络调查。因变量为智能手机过度依赖,主要关注点为心理健康,包括广泛性焦虑症(GAD)、感知压力、感知压力来源、感知孤独和感知抑郁症状。研究采用了 IBM SPSS 26.0 版的 Rao-Scott 方差检验和多元逻辑回归:研究对象包括 54 948 名 13 至 18 岁的青少年。其中,25.1%(n=13,775)的青少年被归类为智能手机过度依赖群体。具体来说,20.3%报告GAD≥10的青少年和22.5%报告感受到高度孤独的青少年被认定为智能手机过度依赖者。GAD使过度依赖智能手机的风险增加了2.61倍(95%置信区间[95% CI]:2.46-2.77)。感知到的孤独感与智能手机过度依赖风险增加 1.98 倍(95% 置信区间:1.87-2.09)有关。此外,研究还发现,与同龄人的冲突会使过度依赖智能手机的风险增加 4.63 倍(95% CI:3.89-5.52),其次是与父母的冲突(几率比 [OR]:4.52,95% CI:3.84-5.31)和家庭环境(OR:4.52,95% CI:3.75-5.46):结论:研究结果表明,韩国青少年过度依赖智能手机与心理健康之间存在明显联系。结论:研究结果表明,韩国青少年过度依赖智能手机与心理健康之间存在明显联系,因此有必要提供医疗保健服务,以改善他们的情绪应对能力和人际交往能力。
